Best Answer

1. Take a cup, and fill it about halfway with water.

2. Next cut a piece of paper big enough to cover hole of cup

3. Flip cup upside down securing it with your hand (do this over a sink just in case)

4. Now let go of paper and observe. The paper should stay in place because the air pressure is pushing up against it.
