Effect: A friend is challenged to see who can smoke
a cigarette the longest distance without losing any ash.
You win.
Preparation: You will need a packet of cigarettes and a
paperclip.
Method: Everything starts off OK, but soon they realise
that they are fighting a losing battle as your entire cigarette refuses to
let a single piece of ash drop!
Secret: It's all
in the hidden paperclip!
Simply straighten it out and slide it down your cigarette
(taking care not to punch a hole in the side in the
process). Make sure it slightly digs into the filter so
as to give it some stability.
Now, snip off the end. This should give you a normal looking cigarette
with no protruding wire(s).
When the cigarette is lit and smoked, it should look completely normal.
Remember you can add the wire to the cigarette at any time before the
trick. The cigarette 'tastes' normal (or so I'm told) so if someone thinks
it is a fake just let them have a drag.
If you are a good play actor then you can pretend to cast a 'hex' upon
it.
Remember - a decent pub trickster always puts on a really good
performance when needed!
1) Obtain cigarette and paperclip 2) Straighten paperclip 3) Insert paperclip in cigarette 4) Ash should remain whole.
