I had one of these at one time when they came out with it and thought it was really cool. Basically the trick is; # Take a matchbox and place it on the back of your hand. # The matchbox flips over end on the back of your hand. # Then the matchbox opens by itself showing the matches inside. # Then one of the matches "jumps-out" of the matchbox & stands straight up on the matchbox.

I went to a SAM or IBM meeting in Sacramento and I saw a member of the group, well I'll describe what I saw; # He took a cigarette and put it to the base of his nose. # He "sniffed" up and at the same time he tilted his head back... # And the cigarette was gone!

From: "The Magic State of Mind" essay in "The Amateur Magician's Handbook" (1982 edition) "Of all the wonderful sleight of hand experts in the world, probably not a dozen can stand up against slow motion cameras. Take away the misdirection and the timing, and anyone can see the coin revolving to the back of the hand, the billiard ball being gobbled by the left fist instead of carried away by the right . " "Slow motion camera perfection is the last stage that even a great expert attains, and on balance, it may not be very much more effective than the showman's "good enough"...
