trick of the week "salt or pepper" #1

1: ask your participant "which do you like more salt or pepper ? "if it is pepper let your participant watch you cover the pepper shaker with a napkin (same thing with salt) 2: firmly grip the covered shaker so the napkin forms around it 3:create eye contact with your participant as you slowly bring the hand with the shaker towards the edge of the table 5:once the shaker is about half off the table(still maintaining eye contact )loosen your grip so it quietly falls into your lap ( but the napkin is in the shape of the shaker) 6: push down on the napkin ( still in the shape of the shaker) so it appears that you made the shaker disappear!!
