- Preparation: Secretly place your fork in your lap at dinner (or a duplicate second fork if you can so no one will notice yours is missing!).
- Performance: At dinner, offer to show how you can make bread rise, without yeast!
- Take a dinner roll and hold it in your outstretched left hand.
- Reach into your lap and get your napkin, but secretly hide the fork inside as well.
- Stab the fork into the bread roll.
- Grab the fork and the corner of the napkin, as your other hand holds the other corner.
- The roll should appear to now be floating under the napkin.
- Slowly move the napkin around as if the roll is floating underneath.
- Hold the corners taught and then you can “peek” the roll up to the edge of the napkin by moving your hand with the fork.
- Act as if the roll is pulling you away!
- Finally, let go with the hand not holding the fork. Reach underneath and retrieve the roll, pulling it off the fork.
- Quickly move your hand with the fork and napkin to your lap, where you can ditch the fork.
