Egg prediction

Show an egg, four stands, a hammer, and four coffee cups. Ask a spectator to place the egg on one of the stands and flip the cups over so all the egg stands are covered. Mix them all up so you know which stand the egg is on. Do this while facing the other direction, or go to another room if you prefer. You enter the room with the hammer and start smashing the cups one by one until only one remains. Lift the last cup to reveal the egg!

• Simple and entertaining.
• The audience can examine everything. The included cardboard coffee cups are sufficient for one performance, but are easily found in many stores.
• The egg, stands, and hammer are carefully crafted from wood. The stands have a diameter of 8.9 cm (3.5") and are approximately 2 cm (0.78") thick. The hammer is 30.5 cm (12") long.
