Static Snake Charmer
Effect: You remove a plastic straw from its wrapper.
Using the straw as a "magic
wand" you command the
wrapper to dance around the table.
You will need: a plastic
drinking straw still in its wrapper.
Method:
You tear off the tip of
the wrapper and throw it away. Gripping the straw at the tip with the fingers
of one hand, and firmly squeezing the wrapper with the fingers of the other
hand, quickly pull the straw from the wrapper and drop the wrapper on the
table.
Now, using the straw as
a "magic wand", without touching the wrapper, slowly wave the straw
over the end of the wrapper. The straw wrapper should sway around by itself as
if in a hypnotic trance.
If the effect starts to
wear off after a minute or two , you can re energise the wrapper by stroking it
briskly along the straw.
This effect is due to
static electricity. It is a real fun effect and works MOST of the time but can
sometimes vary in effectiveness depending on weather conditions.
