Props: A cigarette pack, gum bottle, scissors.
MAGIC:
This trick puts smokers in an unpleasant mood. Show an ordinary cigarette box to the audience, open it and show them the 10 cigarettes. Now close the box and after the magic word, 'Zee Boom Ba', then open it again. All the cigarettes have vanished -- not even a single one is there. How?
SECRET:
You have to make a small arrangement before you perform this trick. Pull out the drawer of the box, remove the cigarettes. Fix a small piece of cardboard with gum exactly in the centre of the drawer like a bridge to make it into two compartments. Take five cigarettes and cut them into half to make 10 pieces. Place these 10 pieces in one compartment of the drawer and keep them back in the box. You are ready.
Open the box from the cigarettes end and show it to the audience. Close it and again open it from the other end, after saying the magic word. The smokers will be terribly disappointed as the cigarettes have vanished. Never repeat this trick before the same audience.
