And then there's the old parlor trick of getting an egg to stand up
on the WRONG (narrow) end!

The trick is, you spill a SMALL amount of salt (or sugar or dirt)
on the table, stand the egg up in the salt, and blow the excess
salt away. Generally this will end up leaving only the 3-4 grains
of salt that are actually holding the egg balanced, so you can pick
up the egg and give it to someone (saying, "Here, YOU do it!"), and
no one will ever see the salt.

(Hmm... is there more salt in the air at equinox??? ;-} )
