This is final result, of course when you smoke your cigare!

You will need just a packet of cigarettes and paperclip.

Ash Trick

Take a cigarette and rubs some of the ashes into the your friend clenched fist until they disppear. Then say some magic words like abracadabra and ask your friend to open their fist and the ash has penetrated onto their palm.

Before you execute this trick you must put some ash on your middle finger.

PROCEDURE
Tell your friend to stand in front of you and hold his hands out towards you palms down. Than tell him to come a little closer and phisically grab his hands to gently pull him a little closer. Ask him to close his fist, take a lit cigarette, which you use to flick some ash on his fist and rub in until it disappears. Then you can say some magic words and ask him to open his hands when the ash seems to have penetrated his fist.

An easy party trick!

A good trick to try on a group of drunken peoples! just kidding
Explain that just as a glass prism splits up the different colours of white light, when different coloured light passes through glass, it is also affected to an extent that depends on its colour.
Write the words CARBON DIOXIDE on a piece of paper, CARBON in red and DIOXIDE in blue. Put the paper close behind the stem of a wine glass and look at the words through the stem. The red letters turn upside down, but the blue ones don't.
So is the glass affecting the red light more than the blue?

You weren't fooled, were you? This has nothing to do with the different colours of the words, or of red light being bent more or less than blue light. The stem of the wine glass turns both words upside down, but because DIOXIDE is symmetrical about a horizontal line, you don't notice that it is upside down - it looks just the same either way!
