Rattle Snake Trick
Effect : Two match boxes are opened to show the spectator. It can clearly be seen that one matchbox is full of matches and the other box is empty.
The boxes are closed and slowly moved back and forward on the table. The spectator is then asked to point out the empty matchbox. The chosen box is picked up and shaken to reveal the sound of the matches, inside being shaken around. " Sorry, wrong choice ! "
This trick is a very convincing effect and is surprisingly easy to perform. The spectator seems unable to guess the correct matchbox.
