The Impossible Pickup

Place a dime or penny on a bar or table and place your hand over it. You quickly raise your hand and close it into a fist. The coin is in your palm. Yet when someone else tries it, the coin remains on the table.

The secret: Put your hand on the coin so that the coin rests on the ball of your hand just below the third finger. Now just before you lift it, press down hard and quickly lift your hand. The pressure will cause the coin to stick to your palm just long enough to grab it as you lift your hand.

* Heads or Tails?

In the showoff section you'll learn to call it with virtually 100% accuracy. Challenge your local hot-shot that thinks they are a gambler and watch the panic when you are right, time after time.

* Would you believe that you can drop
a light bulb onto a concrete floor so
it won't break!

* How to make steel burn with an
ordinary match.

* Bounce a wine cork so that it lands
standing up!

* How to balance an egg upright. This
can drive people nuts when they don't
know how. They are a lot of people out
there that think this can only be done
on a solstice.

* Simple puzzles with
coins that will have them scratching
their heads.

And MORE, MORE, MORE!

Don't get carried away though. If you
get too much of a reptuation, no one
will accept any of your challenges.

But. . .

Like P.T. Barnum said, "There's a
sucker born every minute."

And personally, I don't think there is
anything wrong with "educating" a few
of them.
