Dangerous Egg Trick

Show an egg, four stands, a hammer and four coffee cups. Ask a spectator to select any of the stands. You place the egg on this stand and turn over the cups to cover all the egg stands. When your back is turned a spectator is asked to re-arrange the stands and mix them all up, so that you do not know which stand has the egg. He can also satisfy himself that the cups are all entirely opaque.

You turn around and with the hammer start smashing the cups one by one leaving just one of them. Lift the last cup to reveal the egg!

• Simple and fun.
• he paper coffee cups supplied are enough for one performance, but can be easily found in many stores.
• The egg, stands and hammer are carefully crafted from wood.

The stands have a diameter of 8.9 cm (3,5″) and are approximately 2 cm (0,78″) thick. The hammer is 30.5 cm (12″) long.
