The Faraday Balance Technique as demonstrated at the Lott household this weekend
For those of you not familiar with this fun trick, this is a picture of two forks pushed together, with a match wedged between the forks. We balanced the entire unit on the side of an empty glass… yes it can be done… and then lit the match. The fire extinguishes itself at the rim of the glass due to heat being removed by the coolness of the glass and what remains is a seemingly impossible balancing act of a burnt out match carrying two heavy forks. Crazy!
