Match lift

It is simple, using air, to lift matches from the table into their box. Hold the case between your lips and lower it over the matches. Draw a deep breath, and the matches hang on to the bottom of the case as though they were stuck on.

By drawing in breath you produce a dilution of the air, in the case. Air pressure pushes the matches from underneath towards the opening. Even a single match can be raised in this way, if the air is drawn in sharply.
