Burning sugar

You need lumps of sugar, some cigarette ashes and matches or a lighter.

Not that this trick won´t work with granulated real sugar, but it is more impressive with a lump!
Normally, if you try to light sugar with a flame, it may bubble and melt, but it won´t actually catch fire. Unless you know how!

Challenge your friends to light a cube of sugar. While they are attempting to get one of the sugar cubes to light, secretly get some cigarette ash on your finger tips. Try to get as much as you can.
Have an one of your friends select a sugar cube, and as you pick it up transfer the ash to the sugar cube. Now, hold a flame to the portion of the cube with the ash on it, and it will light easilly!

Prove that you have 11 fingers!

For this "trick" you need only your hands.

Tell your friends that you have 11 fingers, and you can prove it!

Using your right forefinger to point with, touch each finger of your left hand, counting "1, 2, 3, 4, 5". Then with your left forefinger count the fingers on your right hand, "6, 7, 8, 9, 10".
Say "Funny, I know I had 11! Let´s try again". This time count backwards, pointing to the fingers of the left hand say "10, 9, 8, 7, 6 ...". Then stop. hold up the right hand and say "Plus 5 equals 11!!" Do this quickly, without pausing!

A party trick!

A good trick to try on a group of drunken peoples! just kidding
Explain that just as a glass prism splits up the different colours of white light, when different coloured light passes through glass, it is also affected to an extent that depends on its colour.
Write the words CARBON DIOXIDE on a piece of paper, CARBON in red and DIOXIDE in blue. Put the paper close behind the stem of a wine glass and look at the words through the stem. The red letters turn upside down, but the blue ones don't.
So is the glass affecting the red light more than the blue?

You weren't fooled, were you? This has nothing to do with the different colours of the words, or of red light being bent more or less than blue light. The stem of the wine glass turns both words upside down, but because DIOXIDE is symmetrical about a horizontal line, you don't notice that it is upside down - it looks just the same either way!
