I had an Uncle Bob - everyone should - who would pull quarters from behind my ear and balance two forks on a toothpick on the edge of a drinking glass. It seems that the deluge of electronic gadgets in our lives has taken away the wonder and joy of basic everyman sleight of hand. Can you shove a pen up your nose and pull it out your ear? Uncle Bob could.

I can, too. Not that Uncle Bob ever gave up the secret, but these things have a way of being passed down through the generations. The latest way is to find a YouTube video or Google a blog on the subject. Then order any props through Amazon.com and Bob’s you uncle - and so are you!
