The Pepper Shaker Trick Explained: Learn Free Magic
I am Joe Marshall with expertvillage.com and today we are going to unravel the mysterious of telekinesis. This is the explanation for the salt pepper, salt or pepper shaker, you have to already joined hands before you do that, you are going to want to get elastic thread, it is an elastic invisible thread, it is stretchy. Basically you are just going to, like you can get if off the Internet, there is like a billion places to get it from, this is an invisible elastic thread, it comes in a spool. Once it comes to your house, you just take a length of it off and break it off and tie into a knot, so that you have a loop, you probably can’t see it because it is invisible thread but basically it is stretchy, because it is elastic and you can loop it around your wrist and wear as a bracelet until you are ready to perform and once you are set you just want to take it and move it around so that it wraps around your hand, like that, kind of like I will just use this rubber band as an example, that is what you are going to want to do with it and to set it up you just want to grab the salt or pepper, use it for something and when you set it back down you are just going to wrap the loop around it and set it on the table, since I am using a rubber band so you can see what is going on, it is going to snap back into my hand obviously, but what it is going to look like in performance once you have it wrapped it around the pepper shaker, it is elastic so it gives you some room till I play around, you just want to hold your hand there, tell everybody to join hands and try to generate force, what you have to do is slowly pull back on it and you are pulling away to generate that force and when you pull back it will start to move across the table and then you want to stop it, you only want it to move about 6 or 7 inches and as you get towards it, just back away from it, don’t even touch it, but the reason why you want to get towards it is so that the elastic snaps back off it and lands in your hand like that, it is basically right there, it wraps around, that frees it up, so that anybody can just grab it, because people are going to want to grab it right away and if you just have an invisible thread hooked up to it, it is going to be snapped and hear that sound so you want to use an elastic for this.
