Method: OK, beforehand you have to burn the end of a match that doesnt have the sulfur on it (use wood matches). Then get a sharpie and colour the other end of the match darkly so it looks like its burnt.
1. Palm the (pre-burned pre-colored) match and say "Watch this."
2. Light a different match and ask them to do the same.
3. Now wave your match and as they're lighting their own quickly and quietly wave yours out (under cover of stepping back or whatever).
4. Just drop your match and quickly bring the gimmicked one up into sight and say to the spectator "Now remove the head from your own match once it's cooled off", and what you proceed to do is break off the bottom part (the pre-colored part) of the fak-o match you switched for the regular one.
5. When they do that now say "Put it back on", (quickly turn the match end for end ).. of course they can´t.
6. Then say "Well, I can´t do that either" and light the pre-colored end of the match (made to look like it's burned but really not) and WOW!
This is an excellent street trick, but can also fit in to parties or family dinner settings. Try it out, you'll like it.
