For this trick you will need a candle and a match. Damn, don't you just hate people putting burned matches back in the box? Good thing I know a trick. I know how to restore a burnt match to a functional match.

Step 2: The Relighting Trick

Just rub on the wax on the candle, like this, and it should be able to light again. Yes, it worked! To make a match that looks like it has been burned, you start off by cutting some of the wood away at the top. This will make it look thin, just like a burned match.

Next step it to color the match black. Just use a black marker and there we have it, a burned out match. As you can see here, it almost looks like the real thing.
