How to Do the Broken and Restored Toothpick Trick

This trick is the broken and restored toothpick. For this you are going to need a toothpick and a dish towel I have right here--simple dish towel. You are going to take one toothpick place it right on the center like that. You can grab each corner of the dish towel like this and bring them in one over another just like that. What you are going to ask now is for an audience member to go ahead and grab the toothpick you go ahead and feel it. We have it right here you could feel it and you can see it. And we can go ahead and just give it a break just like that. So you are going to break the toothpick just like that, you can have them examine it, it is broken, yes. Go ahead and open it slowly, very slowly and show the toothpick is still whole. And of curse you can show the dish towel there is nothing left in it and the toothpick is of course whole and you can hand it out for examination.

Now the explanation for this trick, all you are going to need is a regular dish towel and in the hem right here you re going to place a toothpick right inside like this. So the one that they are breaking is actually located in the hem. So what you do is you lay out your dish towel just like this so the toothpick that is located in the scene right here is on your left hand corner. You are going to take the solid toothpick place it right in the center flip corner one, two. The one with the toothpick three and place this one over the one that has a toothpick in it.

Now when reaching through you are actually just going grab the one in the hem right here and give it a break. Once it is broken you can actually have the audience break it as well that is fine. Once it was broken you can go ahead and just open it like this and show the toothpick is of course whole and you can go ahead and hand this out for examination and the toothpick. And that is broken and restore toothpick trick.
