Have three cigarettes, one of each brand, on the end of one of them stick a tack, secretly. We will say the Chesterfield. You know that this particular one is heavier at one end than the other and that the two other cigarettes are of even weight if held at the center between the thumb and index fingers, like the arm of a scale. Turn your back and ask them to mix the cigarettes and have them handed to you. You will behind your back always pick the Chesterfield. Remember to remove the tack every time you give the cigarettes back for examination. Do not repeat this trick too often.
