You can amaze your friends and get attention at a banquet by hanging a spoon from your nose or by hanging multiple spoons from your nose and face. It is harder than it looks.
Steps
Put the concave surface of a clean regular teaspoon to your nose, with the handle pointing vertically down.
Hold the spoon lightly and gently begin to rub it downward against your nose. Exert a slight pressure on the downstroke but lift slightly and give no pressure on the upstroke. Eventually you will feel a slight tendency for the spoon to resist on the downstroke.Advertisement
Gently take your hand away and the spoon will hang from your nose. You don't need to put anything on the spoon. When you are doing this correctly, you don't need to hold your head back.
Breathe on the spoon, creating a "Huh" noise. It's either this, or lick the spoon gently. Don't drench it!
Immediately after breathing on or licking the spoon, place it on your nose so that it is up high, but not too high. It can basically be placed anywhere on your nose, as long as it is on the ledge of it.
There you have it! Your spoon is balanced perfectly on your nose (if you did it right)!
Finished.
Community Q&A
- QuestionWhy does this work? Because of friction?
Community AnswerIt works because the little particles of water from your breath make it stick to your nose. The water particles works like glue. - QuestionWill it stick to my nose if my skin is oily?
Community AnswerIt's possible, but the spoon is more likely to slip if your skin is oily.
