Pringles Can = Macro Lens?

Recently for my photography class I had to take some macro pictures. Whats macro photography you say? Its when you take pictures of objects super close to the object so that you can see the texture of the object in focus. Now you can take some pretty decent macro pictures with your average lens but to get a really good one most of the time you need to go purchase a certain kind of lens specifically designed for macro pictures. These macro lens can cost up to a grand for the high end ones. I'm a dirt poor college student so I definitely don't have that kind of money to just drop on a new camera lens. So there I was thinking my dream of doing macro photography was dead...until I found this video. Enjoy!
