You smoke a cigarette but never shake the ashes off. The length of ash get longer and longer, your friends put ash-trays under it, and to their annoyance, you move the cigarette into the other hand. This keeps going until the whole cigarette is ash, and none of it has collapsed!

| Yoges 19th Apr 06 | pictures please..... | |
| mkmanowar 25th Apr 06 | Works great! Great way to win a bet. Just be careful when you put the paper clip in, as it tends to distort the shape of the cigarette. | |
| nevaehclothing 29th May 06 | good idea i tried it its a nice effect tho jsut becareful | |
| blacktiger 4th Jun 06 | it wont distort the cig. if you sraighten out the clip. This ones always fun to do at a bar. | |
| Mint 18th Jun 06 | If I smoked, I would definately do this. Guess I could always rig a friend's cigarette and tell them to not tap off the ashes, so that my friend would get people looking at the long ash line. | |
| Ganjamon 27th Jul 06 | did you know they make rolling papers with a wire in them now, it acts as a "roach clip" so no more burnt fingers. pure genious. | |
| evilspaz 10th Aug 06 | Ive heard people using toothpicks but that doesnt work. You still need to be careful when doing this trick though... the ask could breakup and fall showing a burnt paperclip | |
| nick666 28th Aug 06 | u can put it in someone else's cigarette when they're not looking and tell them u have special powers or whatever,also! | |
| magix 27th Sep 06 | I would try this if i could smoke. | |
| Xariao 8th Oct 06 | this is Challenged.... even tho this trick can be amazing... how can you dispose of the cig wihtout people seeing a burnt paper clip..... like you cant put it in a ash tray.... LOL | |
| Fudge 4th Nov 06 | Cool idea, gets funny reactions. | |
| tommos 13th Nov 06 | Could'nt wait to try this one...LMAO all by myself the first time just dreaming of all the possibilities!!! It burns all the way down to the end!!! TIP: make sure the wire is about a 1/8" imbedded into the filter for some stability. Not too much though the wire gets real hot. | |
| nightynights 26th Nov 06 | it works also when i dont have any ash tray or in case i should not to shake the ash off. so i carry a paperclip in my wallet every time | |
| griffshcky15 3rd Dec 06 | good trick but i dont smoke and i never will its a terrible habit | |
| worldskycat 27th Jan 07 | Winston Churchill used the same technique once when addressing parliament. Of course, he used a cigar instead of a cigarette. | |
| Hawk 4th Feb 07 | Another old one, but a good one. | |
| Yexo 13th Feb 07 | maybe i will try this in a few years... | |
| Magic 22nd Feb 07 | smoking sucks dont even try to make it look cool by making it into a magic trick | |
| Phate 2nd Mar 07 | I agree with Magic, smoking isn't good, but for the smokers inhere it's a very nice trick. | |
| maskino77 17th Apr 07 | gives a very great reaction | |
| dummyisdumb 29th May 07 | hmm... I'm twelve... Maybe I should start up smoking just for this trick... jk But that sounds like a great trick! | |
| eljamo 8th Jul 07 | this is a good trick but i dont smoke so if anyone could tell me what else i could use it with..... hmm... maybe insence....yeah,that is a good ides | |
| dragon74 7th Dec 08 | Great trick! I didnt realise teh oxidation of the paper clip would have the same effect as the special pins they used to sell at magic shops for this! | |
Echo EggsEggs rattle or not - at the magicians will, opposite to what the spectators think! |
