Light a Used Match

Another good trick to use at a party or at the pub. If you are a kid, please let your parents help you with the trick.

How the trick appears:

You search for a match, but all you can find are used matches, so you take a used match and magically get it to light.

The Trick:

This trick is just in the preperation. You take new matches and make them look used for later use in this trick.

Simply dip the match heads in black ink and allow them to dry. Then dip them in some used ashes.

The match will look used but will light just fine.
