Lay a cigarette on a table and then explain
to the people around the table about the art of static electricity.
Pull up your sleeve and rub your forearm vigorously. Then, putting your
fingertips on the far side of the cigarette, pull your fingers slowly away from
the cigarette. The cigarette will follow your fingers
like a magnet .
No one will be able to do the the
trick, I've even had someone ask me if I could make it come toward me.
This can be done by cupping your hand slightly in front
of the cigarette and the cigarette will come towards you
Method: The trick is
to blow slightly in front of the cigarette if you wish it to go away from you,
following your hand.
If you wish it to come towards you, cup your hand slightly and blow on your
hand while bringing it towards you on the table. The hand
will reflect the air onto the cigarette which will come towards you
.
This simple trick will fool many an adult. Do not be afraid of them
discovering you blowing as they will be concentrating on the electric action on
the table. The noise in the bar should make sure they do not hear you
blowing.
Please practice this fun trick before trying it on your
friends.
