In [Now You See Me 2](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3110958/?ref_=tt_rec_tt), Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg) performs a trick - he makes the rain droplets stop mid-air. He then proceeds to make the rain drops go up (i.e. against gravity). Finally, he makes the droplets move in several different directions.

At the end of his act, he mentions that the trick was carried out using the strobe lights and rain machines installed nearby. Given this statement, **is there a plausible explanation for how he accomplished the trick?**
