BALANCE AN EGG ON END

On the surface, this may not seem like such a big deal, but challenge friends or family to do this and watch the fun. Some
people can get almost obsessive about this.
Method 1: Before doing this, place a little salt under the table cloth in a small pile. You can balance the egg on the salt. If
this gets detected, or if there is no table cloth around, use method 2 and really wow 'em.


Method 2: You can do this one anywhere without any prior set-up, all you need is a raw egg. Challenge someone to balance
it on end and they will find it nearly impossible. There are people that believe that this can only be done on a solstice.
You are about to prove that it can be done anytime, anywhere. The secret: Shake the egg vigorously and then let it
set with the wide end down for a minute or so. This breaks up the yolk that is heavier than the white. When you set the
egg down, the yolk will settle to the bottom of the egg and you will be able to balance it with relative ease. Practice once
or twice at home first, and of course remember to let the egg "rest" on it's wider bottom for a short while before attempting
to balance.
