Perfect Time Elements

Resourceful minds all over the world have already looked into this mental effect, we believe that our precision-engineered version is the non plus ultra!

Imagine:

You present two completely identical brass tubes with screw caps. The only difference: one of the tubes has a small, turned-in decorative ring in the lid. You give a helper from the audience a match and the two tubes in his/her hand. Ask him to place one of the tubes in his right pocket, the other into his left. You explain that you will turn around and when you do you ask the spectator to put the match into one of the tubes, close it again and then place the tube back into the pocket. Although you cannot see the tubes, have no stooges sitting in the audience and nothing else is going on, you can tell with absolute certainty which tube contains the match.
