Tips & Warnings:

  • If you don't see the illusion at first, try holding the pencil about eye level so you have a better view.
  • Keep your arm flexible and fluid.
  • Don't try this trick with knives or sharp objects, as you could drop it and cut yourself.
Step1
Hold the pencil between your thumb and index finger about 3/4 down the entire length.
Step2
Next, loosen up your wrist and hold your arm in out in front of your body. Pretend like you have a towel draped over your forearm.
Step3
After that, begin fluidly moving your arm up and down. Keep your wrist relaxed.
Step4
Finally, watch the pencil create an optical illusion of bending slightly like it is made of rubber. Now go scare your friends!
