How To Perform The Rolling Cigarette Trick
Perform The Rolling Cigarette Trick. Try this simple trick from our magician Christian Lee and make your friends believe you have telekinetic powers.
Step 1: You will need
- a cigarette
- a little magical know-how
Step 2: The trick
Take a cigarette out of the pack. Build up a static charge by rubbing your finger around the cigarette. Place your finger in front of the cigarette on the table. Now concentrate.
The cigarette rolls towards your index finger as if by magic!
Step 3: How it's done
It's quite simple. Angle yourself away from your audience. Place the cigarette on the table in front of you. Then place the hand nearest the audience on your temple so that it covers your face. Put your index finger on the table further away from you than the cigarette. Now gently, and subtly, blow the cigarette towards your finger. You won't need to blow very hard. The hand covering your face will conceal the fact that you are blowing. The audience will think you are moving the cigarette with your mind!
You'll need to practise to get this trick right and to make it less obvious that you are blowing the cigarette. Once you've got the hang of it, show your friends and they'll be amazed.
