Everyone loves party tricks, those moments when someone says "try this" and you do and you immediately say "iv have to show this to someone else" well here is a party trick especially for those moments. How to make a volunteers arms pass through the floor (or at least feel like they have!).

First of all you need a volunteer who is will in to lie face down on the floor with their arms stretched out in front of them. Tell them to relax and take hold of their wrists, rising their hands and arms off the floor about half a meter. Keep telling your volunteer to relax their shoulders arms and neck whilst continuing to hold their arms and hands off the floor, and pulling away from them slightly. Now as your volunteer to count down from 20 to 1 slowly while you continue to hold their wrists, holding their arms up and pulling away slightly (this is important). Once they reach 1, slowly and i mean pretty slowly, let their arms down but KEEP PULLING AWAY so their elbows DON'T touch the straight away. At this point they should gasp and shout some obscenity as it will feel like their arms have reached the floor and are now passing through the floor a you let them down. Voila! That is it, a fantastic party trick which will have people worshiping you and wanting to buy you drinks! (well maybe…!)
