I'm going to teach you how to perform a cut
and restored straw. As you can see, I have
here a string that's running through a
drinking straw. Now what I'm
going to do is, let's see if I can find the
center here, I'm going to take the
scissors and I'm going to clearly cut
right through, right there. But now with a
little snap of the finger and a wave of the
hand, whatever I want to do. Check it out.
I remove the string and it's fully
intact.
Now I'm going to teach you how to do
this amazing easy magic trick for beginners.
What you're going to need for this easy trick
is an ordinary drinking straw. It could
be paper or plastic but
I think plastic actually works a little
better. And you need some string. Probably
the hardest part of this is just getting
the string through the straw.
Sometimes you have to, it takes a little
work, but you can get the string through
the straw and it is an ordinary string.
But in the straw, it's going to be hard to
show you here. But in the straw, what I've
done is I've created a little slit here
in the straw. So kids. This is something
a grown-up will have to do for you. But you
just take a box cutter and just cut a
slit in the straw right here in the
middle. And that is the secret to the
trick. So what you have to do is just
bring the straw out and show the string that
runs through the straw.

So far, everything is legitimate. Now what
you want to do is right where the slit
is in the straw, to feel it, it's right
here. It's about an inch long.
What you do is fold it right
at the slit. So far, everything looks
legitimate and it is. Now here's the
secret. You take the string and as you
move back you pull the string down. I
pulled it and you've likely heard that click.
And that's the secret here. See? If I open
this up you'll notice that the string is
actually running under the straw. Can you
see that there?
See when I close it here, you can't see
it. But if I open it up here you can
see that's the string right there, the
white. And it's actually outside of the
straw. Now you're ready to perform the
cut. Now when I performed, at the cut
I kept it closed like this. And I
inserted the scissors to cut just the
straw. Let me open this up and show you
what's going on. As you can see, I'm
actually cutting above the string right
here and you see that above the string.
And so I can cut the straw but I haven't
cut the string. So the string is still
intact. Now at this point, you're still
holding it just like this so spectators
don't know. It looks like they're cut and
here's something, a nice little
convincer here. What you do is you
take the two straws and turn them like
this so they're offset from each other.
And it looks like here there's no
string coming out of this end. So that
really makes the spectators think
and it goes for this end as well. But of
course, the string is still running
through. But you don't show them that. If
you hold it like this, it looks legitimately
as if you cut the straw but you haven't. Cut
the string and now you can straighten it
up and just pull
the string out. And you've performed a
miracle with a string and a straw.
