Blowing Teacher's Doors Off
Next, attach a length of thread, about thirty-six inches, to the middle of a pencil with a tiny bit of sticky wax. Put a piece of tape at the other end of this first length of thread, sticky side enclosed. This piece of tape will go into your mouth.
Take a second length of thread, maybe a little shorter than the first, and also attach it to the middle of the pencil, except running in the opposite direction. On the other end of this thread put a pellet of wax which you stick to the outer underside of a desk. This is a horizontal, two way hookup.
Now, by sitting at the desk with the tape in your mouth you can cause the pencil to rise up in the air by simply leaning back in your seat. You'll have to experiment with the thread lengths to get this right. If you don't understand the two way hook up, it's explained in many books on close-up levitation.
Now, practice causing the pencil to rise up and remain stationary a few inches above your desktop. No David Copperfield stuff here. Just keep it steady and keep your hands on top of the desk.
Now for the fun part. Whenever you have any free time in a class, clear your desk and take out a pencil--not the gimmicked one. Stare intently at the pencil. Trust me, you do this enough times and teacher will notice.
When asked to explain your behavior, explain that you read a book about psychics and there was an experiment on how to levitate objects. Watch teacher smirk.
Bide your time--this'll never work if you act too soon. Just over the course of days, weeks, or better months take out a pencil, put it down in front of you, and stare.
On the big day cause the gimmicked pencil to rise up and remain suspended. Only for a few seconds and only untill teacher notices. When teacher does notice, grab the pencil out of the air and quickly put it away, destroying the evidence in the process. Act startled, flustered, upset. Also, it's best if teacher's the only one to see--you'll have to work out the logistics on that.
When teacher confronts you, feign ignorance. Say they must've been mistaken. It's probably best to pull this on the last day of school or you'll have them hounding you all year. Whatever, just Never break.
Properly executed this is a beautiful thing.
Have fun.
