EFFECT:

A glass of water in which there are two or three

ice cubes. With a toothpick you touch one of the ice cubes and it

comes up stuck to the toothpick.

 

THE HOW:

You propose that while anyone present

counts from one to ten you will lift one of the ice cubes,

with a single toothpick, without any-body’s help.

All you have to do is apply flatly the wide end of the

toothpick to the ice cube and pour table salt on the top of toothpick and cube; freezing

will be created that will make a toothpick become part

of the ice cube, making it very easy to suspend.
