The Jumping flame
(Blackstone, 1946)
The magician lights two matches. He blows one out and holds it just beneath the flame of the other. Immediately the lower match lights itself.
To work this trick successfully, hold the lighted match above the unlighted one immediately after the later has been blown out. a tiny smoke stream will rise from the extinguished match. The flame of the upper match catches this stream, follow it down and relights the lower match almost instantly.

Bafflers
This just one the “catch if you can fun”
COINS ON THE EDGE
Balancing a coin in the edge of a table won’t be problem unless you got a nerve problem. Hence this is not a problem tricking your friend with this little catch.
NOTE:
1. Find a coin in your countries monetary unit that is thicker as the subject coin
2. Make sure that the coin that is used by your friend when he makes a dare to stand the coin is his own coin.
.Begin saying that is it difficult to let a coin stand in the edge, particularly a quarter. If a friend of you answers it’s not difficult to let a coin stand. The you respond” all right, I will give you a ( an amount of money lesser the value of the coin that he made to stand) nickel in every quarter you stand on the edge.
The more coin he balances, the better, provide that they are your friend’s coin. After your friend finishes his tasks, you simply pick the coins he was able to balance at the edge and give him the lesser amount coin as exactly you promised to do.
