How To Perform The Beaten Up Cigarette Trick

Step 1: The Method

Take the cigarette and roll it into the bill as tight as you can, so you get the bill wrapped around the cigarette like this.

Step 2: The Challenge

And now my question to you is, what do you think will happen if I make some kind of little ball out of this cigarette so we end up with something like this.

Now, I will bet you a beer that you can still smoke this cigarette. That there is no holes in it and that the cigarette, otherwise than being a little bit worn is still completely fine.

Will you take that bet?

Step 3: The Results

Well, let's see. It seems that the cigarette is in fact completely fine, and you can definitely smoke it. There are no holes in this cigarette at all.

Step 4: The Secret

This is a really good trick because it looks so dramatic; it looks as if the cigarette is getting beaten up quite well.

But the fact is that the bill is taking most of the beating, and the cigarette is safe as long as the bill is wrapped around the cigarette.
