The Feast of Candles

If you have just done a trick in which a candle is used you can further astonish your friends by taking the lighted candlestick and eating it! (It’s very good, too)
The parlour conjurers of the Victorian days made a great mystery of this baffling, trick which is rarely seen nowadays.
	1) Trim a peeled banana down to a cylindrical shape to make the “candle”.
	2) Stick a slip of almond or brazil nut into the end of the “wick”.
3) Light the slip of nut at the last moment as the oil does not burn for many seconds.
4) Bite off the lighted end and close your mouth on it.  That will extinguish the flame at once.
