Slamming stuff through the table
Stabbing my eye with a fork and white stuff comes out

--My two favorite dinner-table tricks.

My favorite "trick" (which isn't magic, but SCIENCE!!) at the dinner table requires two forks (they need to be the same kind of fork), two toothpicks, and a salt or pepper shaker.

Stick one toothpick into a hole in the shaker. Connect the forks by placing the teeth on the forks between each other. A bit hard to describe. Take the other toothpick and place it through the teeth of the forks. If you did it right, the forks should balance on the toothpick if you hold the end. Now, the part that's just too weird to believe -- take the end not connected to the forks and balance it on the very tip of the toothpick in the saltshaker. If you did it all right (I know, my directions were vague and hard to follow... it's a bit hard to describe), the system should perfectly balance on the tip of the toothpick in the saltshaker because its center of mass, remarkably, is DIRECTLY over the tip. The natural reation to this is to want to spin the system. It usually gets about halfway around before it falls. I can't figure out why either of these things are true.

I like the kind of magic trick where some brain dead idiot tries to hold his breath for nine minutes in a sphere full of water, and dosn't make it!!!!  Not really a magic trick, more like life defying or something like that.

I tried Insane Steve's fave magic trick but couldn't get the toothpick in between the fork prongs. And are the forks supposed to be facing up or down?

If you put the toothpick in right, and hold the toothpick horizontally, the forks should hang about 30 or 40 degrees below horizontal. It's a hard to describe trick. I'd draw it for you, but I don't think I have the talent to do so.

Making things transform and disappear is fun, but making things go backwards/time travel is my way of saying "Yahoo!". They might not be real, but the concept is cool when used in TV shows, movies, etc.
