#SCARED MAGIC TRICK SERIES#

As you do, drop the cup into your lap inconspicuously and cradle it between your thighs. Pick up the paper-covered cup to give your audience one last look at the ball.

Place the cup upside down over the ball, then mould the paper around the cup so that it covers it completely. Smash a cup through a table “accidentally.” Explain to your audience that you're going to pass a magical ball through a solid tabletop using a small cup and a “cloak of concealment” (an ordinary piece of paper). Though it may seem like genuine magic, this trick has a simple explanation: cutting the strips in such a careful way rearranges the surface area of the paper so that it's essentially one big outline.If you do, you'll end up losing your own bet! Take care not to accidentally cut all the way through the paper, or to tear it while you're picking it up.Finally, cut through each folded crease individually and open up the paper to reveal an impossibly-large paper portal that you can slip right through. Then, rotate the paper 180 degrees and cut along the midline of each strip you just cut from the opposite side, again stopping just short of the far edge.

Fold the paper in half widthwise and cut a series of strips through the folded edge every 2 in (5.1 cm) or so, stopping about 1 in (2.5 cm) from the far end. Bet your skeptical audience that you can cut a hole in a normal piece of typing paper large enough to step through. Pass an ordinary piece of paper around your body.
