How to Bend a Cigarette in Half Without Breaking It

You can easily amaze friends and family with a simple magic trick that's based on some simple theories. You can bend a cigarette in half without breaking the cigarette. You can even double it several times and it still won't break. Here are the helpful steps.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Cigarettes
• Dollar bill

1. Hold the cigarette up to show that it's a normal cigarette. It's a good idea to you use one from someone that's sitting somewhere around you. If you're doing this in a crowd, choose someone that you don't know.

2. Tell the audience that you can bend the cigarette in half and not break it. In fact, if you're a smoker, you can smoke it afterward. You can pull the owner of the cigarette into the trick by asking if they would smoke the cigarette after the trick is finished.

3. Roll the cigarette in a dollar bill. Lay the cigarette on the short edge and roll it completely to the other side. Roll the cigarette tightly.

4. Bend the cigarette in half, bend it again. Do it again and again it until you can't bend it any longer. Hold the cigarette up for everyone to see that it's bent.

5. Straighten out the cigarette and money that you bent. Unroll the money from around it.

6. Straighten the cigarette with your fingers and light up. The cigarette is still in one piece.

Tips & Warnings

• This works because the bill takes most of the abuse and actually protects the cigarette.
