Two demonstrations are presented that show the immiscibility of five or six layers of liquids. The setup of both demonstrations is such that one homogeneous layer in a multiphasic mixture separates into two new layers upon shaking. The solvents used are methanol, toluene, petroleum ether or n-pentane, silicone oil, perfluoroheptanes, and water for the five-layer demonstration. Addition of mercury results in a sixth phase.
