Open a large handkerchief out and show both sides of it to your friends. Point out that there is nothing in it; then show them both sides of your hands, which are also empty. Now ask a member of your audience to give you a match. Ask him to put a mark on it with a pen or a pencil. Fold up the handkerchief with the match in it, and let everyone present see you do this.

Give the handkerchief to anyone in the audience and say, "Here's the match. Can you feel it? Good! Now I want you to break it into two pieces." When he or she has broken the match, you say, "Would anyone like to feel the broken match in this handkerchief?" Several people will probably want to feel it. When they have satisfied themselves that the match really is broken, you say, "Now I'm going to make the match whole again." Perhaps your friends will say that that is impossible.

Hold the handkerchief in one hand and pass your hand or your wand (magic stick) over it, saying: "Abracadabra, abracadabra." Open the handkerchief and let the match fall onto the table of floor, saying "Presto" as it does so. When the audience examine the match, they will find that it is quite whole and undamaged. The member of the audience will see his mark on the match. Everyone will be amazed!

The secret of this trick is quite simple, as in all magic tricks. Long before you do the trick you must do one thing—you must push one of your own matches into the hem (褶边) of the handkerchief. This must be pushed well along the hem so that it cannot fall out or be seen. When you have wrapped up the match provided by a member of the audience you must take care that it is the match in the hem which is broken, and not the other. You should practise the trick in private, of course, before you perform it before an audience.

B. He needs to draw the audience's attention away.

C. He pretends something super-natural will happen.

D. He wants to make himself less nervous.
