Jumping Matchstick

Postby darrenkarp » Nov 12th, '06, 20:42



Hi,

Can anyone direct me to a website where I can learn the jumping matchstick illusion. The one where a single matchstick appears to bounce on your fingertip and edge of a table.

Many thanks
Darren

That's great advice. When I perform this particular miracle, however, the match actually jumps.

The best way to learn any tricks Darren is to find a place that sells the details - online or a real shop, it makes no difference. Websites which give details of how to do such things are exposure sites and we can't condone or recommend them because they are effectively giving always secrets which probably belong to others.

The jumping match is remarkably easy...... get a book on illusions and magic with everyday objects!

I remember it being taught on Discovery Channel.
Yes, taught.
