Snuff the Candle

Just when an obstacle seems inpenetrable you find the way in.

That's how I would work this next trick into my presentation.

Get a candle in a holder. Light it.
Then hold a glass in front of the candle, so that the glass is between you and the flame. Hold the glass up to this height or stand it on something.

Make your point and do your talk here.
Then blow on your side of the glass. The flame on the other side of the glass will magically go out.

It's a science thing basically, called a drafting effect. Air is going around the sides of the glass to blow out the candle.

How I Would Use This

When there is a barrier in your way, if you can't go through it, simply go around it. Perhaps this would be a good demonstration to use for problem solving.

I am sure there are many more ways to use this trick, but I haven't thought of any of them yet. If you think of one yourself, make a note here please.
