[00:54.00]Pat put his hand on a solid brick² wall and said,
[01:00.12]"Mike, hit my hand as hard as you can." Mike struck a hard blow,
[01:09.05]but Pat pulled his hand away from the wall just before Mike's fist hit it.
[01:17.69]Of course, it hurt Mike's hand very much,
[01:23.59]but Pat said, "That was a good joke on you, wasn't it?"
[01:31.12]Mike agreed, but was not too happy.
[01:36.52]The following day Mike and Bob were walking in the town square.

[01:55.02]he placed his hand over his face and said,
[02:00.89]"Bob, hit my hand as hard as you can." Bob agreed,
[02:08.88]and as he struck a hard blow with his fist,
[02:14.06]Mike quickly pulled his hand away and was knocked to the ground, unconscious.
[02:22.02]After a few minutes Mike recovered, and saw Bob worriedly looking down at him.

[04:56.06]Ask several people to put their hand beneath the handkerchief and feel the coin,

[05:06.94]Then take the corner of the handkerchief and pull it rapidly off your hand,
[05:13.38]The coin has gone! How? You must make sure the last friend knows the trick!

[06:40.64]When you first get the egg back from your friends,
[06:45.47]pretend to kiss the egg at the base.
[06:50.11]Make the base wet. Then put the base into salt which is in your other hand

[06:58.14]The salt will stick to the egg. Then put the egg on the table.
