Trick #7
The Unbreakable Match
| A wooden match or toothpick is wrapped in a
handkerchief and broken by a volunteer. At your command,
it is restored into one piece! |
| REQUIREMENTS: |
One handkerchief with a hem, two wooden matches or
toothpicks. |
Conceal a toothpick in the hem of a
handkerchief.
Display the handkerchief, and several
other toothpicks you have brought with you. Then, have a volunteer
point to one of the toothpicks. Pick up the toothpick they chose,
place it in the center of the handkerchief, and roll the
handkerchief up with the chosen toothpick in its center.
While you do this, take hold of the
toothpick concealed in the hem of the handkerchief, and hand this
to the volunteer. Have him confirm that he can feel the toothpick
through the handkerchief, and even invite him to break it in half!
When he does, take the handkerchief back
and break the hidden toothpick again! Everyone will think the
toothpick that's been broken is the same one they saw you roll up
in the handkerchief a few moments earlier. Now, slowly unroll the
handkerchief and show the toothpick, still in its center, and
completely unharmed!
