Match explosion?

[sharkshi66]

Here's a little trick given to me from the CRUSH magic buddy I had from the previous posts. He's been researching on some old foreign magic and wanted me to look it up in this forum. He said I needed to chill from my CAUSE for a while.

Anywayz, since there's no GENERAL MAGIC in the forums, I'll post da thing here.Ever heard of match explosions???NOOO....not the one that uses the LOOPS. The one where two matches are placed perpendicular to each other, and the one of the two matches pop upward, sometimes they pop so high it hits your eyes.

My dude, researched it from an OLD INDONESIAN MAGIC BOOK of some sort.(Kinda forgotten the thing).Maybe its an old grandpa trick..I DUNNO...What do you guys think?BOTH HANDS STAY PERFECTLY STILL AND HOLDS BOTH MATCHES.AND A FEW MOMENTS LATER, ONE OF THE MATCHES POP UPWARD...

Impromptu, and uses only two matches...Any FEEDS on the TRICK?

"Time to chill."

I do think there is the general magic forums here...it´s called general discussion and we are there now...were you expecting a "match magic" forum? could you please post a thread were you don´t actually complain of t11?...I wouldn´t call that chilling out...and improve your grammar...

anyway...the trick you speak sound familiar to me...and I think I do know a method for it...

I believe the effect you're referring to is the classic Jumping Matchstick trick. Very old - I believe it was in Greater Magic (1938) but surely is a classic. Very fun to play with and certainly looks mysterious when in proper use.

Cant this trick be found in most general magic books?
I think I saw it in Scarne's Magic Tricks.

I do the above mentioned trick all the time. I learnt it from a beginners magic book I bought for about £1 about 10 years ago. It looks great when you get it right and is very very easy once you get the knack. The oldies are always great as far as I am concerned.

Not sure what the point of your post was though, and please stop writing in capitals, it looks like you randomly just hit Caps lock at certain times when you were typing!
