1. 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!).
2. Performance: At dinner, offer to show how you can make bread rise, without yeast!
3. Take a dinner roll and hold it in your outstretched left hand.
4. Reach into your lap and get your napkin, but secretly hide the fork inside as well.
5. Stab the fork into the bread roll.
6. Grab the fork and the corner of the napkin, as your other hand holds the other corner.
7. The roll should appear to now be floating under the napkin.
8. Slowly move the napkin around as if the roll is floating underneath.
9. 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.
10. Act as if the roll is pulling you away!
11. Finally, let go with the hand not holding the fork. Reach underneath and retrieve the roll, pulling it off the fork.
12. Quickly move your hand with the fork and napkin to your lap, where you can ditch the fork.
