Want to really freak out your best friend? This is a trick that is bound to shock, but it's now for just anyone.
We suggest to do it on someone you know well, or you may even bring someone to tears.
The whole effect is such that you interrupt someone listening to their iPod.
You then cut the cord to their earphones, show it to them, and then once they are done freaking out, you magically restore it back to new.
Here's the how-to: First cut a loop of white wire approximately 6-8 inches in length.
One key to this trick is that your wire must be the same color as the iPod cord, or obviously it would not work.
Hold this cut loop in your right hand with the ends pointing toward your fingertips so that no one can see it.
Also, hold a pair of small scissors under your left arm.
Now, approach your friend and ask them if they have heard about the new iPod feature.
Tell them that the new iPod cords have the ability to regenerate themselves if cut.
Of course they won't believe you so when you actually appear to cut their cord they get extremely nervous.
You can also just skip any story and just walk up to them and appear to cut their cord! Depends on how well you know them.
To appear to cut the cord, what you do is grab their cord, and make a look with it in your left hand (the one without the actual "trick" wire in your right hand).
Assure your friend that you know what you are doing and no harm will come to their iPod.
At the same time stuff the ends of the "trick loop" into your left hand, which is now holding your friend's real cord.
Make the trick loop stick out and tuck the real loop in so that it looks like you are holding their cord.
Now, holding up the "trick" loop, go ahead and cut it.
You must move very fast or else your friend will pull away the wire and reveal your trick.
Hold on tightly to all parts as you revel in their shock.
Now take the cut cord back into your right hand and appear to "fix" the cord.
Use some creative patter and good acting skills so that they don't notice you make any kind of transfer.
Explain to them that you are now utilizing the new iPod regeneration technique.
Pull your hands apart and hold their unharmed cord taught.
The trick cord should now be tucked away in your right hand.
Tuck the trick cord away in your pocket, or other hiding place and don't let them see it.
This trick requires practice as you certainly don't want any accidents with this one!
