The Magnetic Knife

The Magnetic Knife, Art & Craft Activities for Kids: 46_1.gif A knife magnetically clings to your hands!

All you need is:

1. One table knife.

Step 1: Interweave your fingers as in Figure 1, but don't pick up the knife yet.

Slowly, with a look of great concentration, release your grip on the knife with your thumbs.

It will seem as if the knife is magnetically attached to your palms! After a few moments, drop the knife, and allow the knife and your hands to be examined. It's magic!
