Be the life of the party -- without wearing a lampshade or starting a conga line -- by getting an egg into a bottle.

To complete this How-To you will need:

4 Four wooden matches
1 A wide-mouth glass bottle that holds at least 20 ounces
1 A peeled, hard-boiled egg

Step 1: Light some matches

Strike four matches at once. Be careful not to burn your fingers (or anything else).

Step 2: Drop in matches

Drop the lit matches into an empty glass bottle. Don't worry—the flames will extinguish themselves inside.

Step 3: Set the egg

Before the matches extinguish, set the narrower end of the egg on the mouth of the bottle so that it covers the opening completely.

Step 4: Watch it go

Watch as the air-pressure variation you've created inside the bottle magically sucks the egg right in. Now take a bow!
