The Bernoulli or Coanda Conundrum and Other Classical Demonstration Myths

Lecture Demonstration professionals have recently taken a closer look at demonstrations that were traditionally labeled ``Bernoulli Demonstrations'' in most textbooks.

A discussion of other similarly classic demonstrations and some of their problems or misconceptions will also be presented.
