Did you know – how to make your fingers smoke?

I guess you all can picture the following situation:

We’re at a bar, sipping our drink (and of course we’re a gorgeous woman, waiting to be picked up..) and there’s this good-looking guy casually walking over. “Hey” he says, looking in our eyes, smiling. “Can you say no to someone who’s this smoking hot?”

And since it is such a stupid pick up line we’re going to ignore him, even though he’s kinda cute, but then we see him snap his fingers and there’s smoke rising into the air… now that got our attention.

And now we picture the small, shy guy in the corner who watched all that and desperately wants to know how the other one did that… well, let me tell you.

It’s easy, actually, all you need is:

• matchbox with matches
• scissors or a knife
• a lighter
• a bathroom

And yeah, that’s all. Now you follow my instructions very carefully, if you don’t want ending up with a bathroom in flames (just kidding, you can’t really hurt yourself, even if you tried…):

1. Cut the stripes where you ignite your match, from the matchbox
2. Strip off the thin layers of paper until you’re left with only one thin layer of the striking surface
3. Fold it half, the striking surface has to point down. Put it on the water tap in your bathroom (strictly for security reasons)
4. Take your lighter and burn the striking surface’s surface
5. Remove the leftover striking surface
6. There is some golden residue left on the water tap, put it on your index finger.
7. Rub your thumb and your index finger against each other and puff – smoke will appear
8. Have fun with it
