Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
*SUCK A PAPERCLIP UP YOUR NOSE* Get a medium-small rubber band and a paperclip. Put the rubber band around your palm and the back of your hand. Thread the paperclip onto the band, and then hold the paperclip between your thumb and forefinger. If you let it go, the paperclip should instantly snap back, vanishing from sight. Now hold the paperclip again, draw attention to yourself. When everyone's watching, stick the paperclip partly up your nose, then snort violently while letting it go. The rubber band will make it vanish. Alternately, put a second paperclip in your mouth beforehand. After you've vanished the first one, "cough up" and spit out the second one. Perhaps put paperclips in your mouth, both ears, belly button . . .
