Sugar Stumper
Tuesday, February 26, 2008
You need a straight-sided glass and two sugar lumps
that you will find many cafes and restaurants still
provide.
Put the thumb and first finger of one hand on each side
of the glass with your thumb pressing a sugar lump
against the side of the glass. Balance the other sugar
lump on top of the first.
The trick is to toss each lump, one at a time, up from
your thumb and catch them in the glass!
You will almost certainly need extra sugar lumps when
you ask your friends to try this.
Several are likely to be
smashed through accident or frustration.
The secret is that you toss the first lump up and catch it
in the glass.
For the second, more difficult part of the stunt, you lift
your thumb slightly off the lump, flick it up only very
lightly and then drop the glass below it!
When people try this without knowing the secret, they
use too much force to toss up the second sugar lump
and the first lump shoots out of the glass.
