EFFECT: You hand the spectator a small glass vial and an ordinary box of matches, then ask him to remove one of the matches from the box and place it head down into the vial. You hold the vial in your closed fist and ask the spectator to help you concentrate on making the impossible happen-lighting the match while it's inside the vial...

Without any cover or suspicious moves, you open your fist to reveal the vial now clouded with smoke. The spectator takes the vial and after unscrewing the cap, dumps out the match, completely burnt on the end.

• Very Easy to Do
• Perform It Close-Up and Surrounded
• Everything Is Examinable Both Before and After Performance
