How to do the Torn and Restored Dental Floss Magic

Hi everyone! David Castle here with LearnMagicTricks.org. Today, I am going to teach you a really cool magic trick that you can do with regular dental floss. First of the performance, you just click and open up your dental floss just like so and we are going to need a few pieces. So, let us take out one, let us take out two and three pieces and let us take out the fourth piece. We will put the dental floss away and we are just going to take and roll these three pieces in to a little ball. So, just make it really small here, takes a little bit of time, just make a small little ball out of those pieces and here is a little ball and we are going to push the ball onto this piece, just like that. And you can see that is on there good. Now what is really needed is, I got nothing over here, and nothing over here. We have one piece and then those three pieces that I squeezed together I just attached to that one piece. Now, we are going to do some magic. Just wave my hand over just like so and start to pull. It should magically start to meld back together in one solid piece of dental floss just like so. Now, I am going to teach you how I did this. What I was hiding under my finger were those pieces that I started with at the beginning. Let me show you how to set this up. You are going to need to go to the store and buy some Johnson&Johnson Reach Waxed floss, it is important that you get floss that is waxed because it needs to stick together. Now, when you start this at fact, you open up the dental floss and everything is normal right now. Now, to set this up, your first piece is gimmick. So, you are going to pull out the dental floss about eight to nine inches and you are going to start balling this up. It takes a little bit of time I know, but you just keep going back and forth, back and forth and that is. The only problem with this trick is it does take a little bit of reset but what you could do is have two or three of this dental floss is ready for each of your shows in advance. So, you keep taking the dental floss and slowly balling it up until you get almost to the end. Just bare with me here, I want you to see how I do this and remember, you got to use the waxed dental floss to make it stick. So, eventually, we get towards the end here, so it is not that bad and we will stop right about there and you also want to bring this in a little bit. So, we are going to use a little bit more on this end. Once you get to this point, squeeze it nice and tight like that and you are al ready to start. You just put this under here like this and remember what we did, we took out a lot at the beginning and we created a little ball of all of that dental floss right here. You close it and you are all ready to start. Now, when you begin this a fact, you are going to pull the first piece out and you are going to cover that little package of dental floss with your fingers so the audience does not see it. Believe me, they will not catch onto this, it is very casual. You grab the dental floss normally to pull it out and you just cover that part. So, backstage, this is how it looks, when you begin the fact, you take your left hand and you hold that little gimmick piece, that bundle of floss just like that. You hold on to it and you take and you pull this piece out and you rip it, you say that you need a bunch of pieces of dental floss. And you say, here is one, you go back in and you take out number two, you go on again, and you tell them we are going to take three and we are going to take one more, I like to do four. You also want to make sure that when you add this four pieces up, it is approximately how long the other one will be when you pull it out. So, of course when you get to this point, you take the three, not the one that is gimmick but the normal three, and you just make a ball. It is really easy, you just make a ball, they could make the ball for you, your spectator, and just like this and you want to make it kind of to match this one, so something like that. And you tell them you are going to attach these three pieces onto here and you do it quickly so they do not see the other one and now you can show them this whole piece because it is hiding, your gimmick one. So, from the audience at this point of view, all they are seeing is their one piece pushed on to that one piece covering your gimmick piece so they do not even know what is there. So, from the audience’s point of view, you have three pieces balled up, pushed down one, so it would be a miracle if you could pull this apart of me one. And, what you do is you take and cover this with your fingers, you take your hand, you can just wave it over here, say some magic words and when you start holding this, of course it is going to start undoing on raveling naturally and you are going to get one long restored piece. Now, eventually you are going to start pulling this then you are going to feel that it opened up all the way. When you get to that point, remember, you are going to have their piece of three and the ball right there. But, I recommend you to do is just casually slide that to the end and show them that it is solid and what I recommend is at this point, you give them this piece, the second they take piece, you take this gimmick and just going to your pocket and get rid of it. That way your locked with one solid piece of dental floss, they can examine this, they can examine the floss, they can examine everything and they are just totally blowing away. This is the great magic trick, I have learned this at one of my magic meetings and it is just so amazing because it is basically an impromptu trick. I mean, once you walk in into a restaurant, wherever you are performing, just out in the real world and you got this set up done, you are ready to go and really amaze some people with the product that people deal with all the time. So, this is the—I guess you could say the torn and restored dental floss at fact. It is a classic of magic and it is really been kept underground. I do not think many people know about this so I am glad you do now. Have a lot of fun with it and enjoy. Once again, this is David Castle with LearnMagicTricks.org.
