The Ash
Secret: Hey Kids! SMOKING IS BAD FOR YOU!
But for adults who smoke, here's a way to slowly draw all the attention in the room to you. Insert a long quilting needle into your unlit cigarette. When you light the cigarette, let the ash sit, and in just a few minutes you'll have an ash 2-3 inches long!
Remember, the less you react to this event, the better it'll look. Just act like you'll get around to tapping the ash off any minute...but keep forgetting. How else can you do essentially nothing and get everyone to look over your way?

Episide 23 - Long Ash Cigarette [Discussion]
Effect: Let an entire cigarette burn without the ash falling.
Watch or download the episode here.
----------------------------------------------
When I saw the show post, I thought that this was going to be the first "phoned in" episode of Scam School. "Oh boy, this looks like a dime-store gag like disappearing ink or fake poo."
But after Brian explained that NOT telling people the scam would be more fun than telling, it made so much sense. That's the fun, having people start to point, stare, and even make bets behind your back. I may have someone try it this weekend at a party.
BTW - If you need to borrow a cigarette or lighter to pull the gag, putting down a smoker to their face is not the way to say thank you. I'm just sayin... :rolleyes:
Whats next? "reburn" a match? where you take a magic marker and color a match black and pretend to re-ignite it?
sorry if abit too negative but I look foreward to Scam School SOOO much every week.. and to see something that is one of the 1st few tricks on barbet websites is abit disappointing.
Shwood... do us internet search savvy folks a favor and dont rehash stuff we can already see on:
http://easybartricks.com/
http://www.funpartytricks.com/
Altho I'm sure you dont wanna let your good stuff go and are willing to make a vid showing stuff thats already out there...
NIM and the "quarters in a diamond into a str8 line" stuff was new, deceptively simple and altho hasnt won me free drinks (I rarely go to bars) but has allowed me to chill at a party and have others have to run around to coolers, BBQs etc and fetch me food and drinks as their losing wagers. (totally sweet).
I even had to break up a fight, when doing NIM, when one brother was trying to tell another brother what matches to get... "WTF? You shoulda grabbed 1 match there!!!".. "No you D**khead then he'da grabbed 2 matches" etc... LOL
Did you know you are contributing to the destruction of families? :)
umm why complain about a trick just because it has been done before? I personally have seen almost all these tricks before. A few I haven't but I don't complain about the ones i know about.
Interesting episode, too bad I don't smoke.
Just an idea
Well, I've known about this one for a while, but I don't smoke. Anyways, I think it would have been better if you made a bet with them, see who can make the longest ash without it breaking. You could even borrow a cig from them and slip in the needle when they don't notice. Pretend to balance it when you do it, boom! Another episode for free drinks. Interesting episode, too bad I don't smoke.
LMAO - I didn't even notice that... Thats kind'a funny xD
Better trick...
My grandmother was a smoker until the day she died and she had a way cooler way of smoking a cigarette...Her hands shook constantly but she would light a cigarette and then just let the ash grow until she got to the filter and then in one practised movement, she would snuff it out. She had become so used to smoking that even though she was in her 80s and her hands never stopped shaking, she never once ashed mid-cigarette. No needles here since the cigarette crumpled when she snuffed it out at the end.
I remember having long chats with her on various subjects, only half listening because I was mesmerized by that ash.
This trick is a pale imitation of that. Not only can you burn yourself on the hot needle if the end strays from the center of the filter but you could do some damage to yourself with a hot needle if you forget and try to snuff the cigarette out when you are done.
I really like this show but this episode was far below the standard set by other episodes.
