My Famous Toothpick Trick! - A Challenge for My Flickr Friends!
This trick is an oldie but goodie from my bartending days which were over 20 years ago, professionally anyway, LOL! I honestly hadn’t thought of it until my friend Liz and I went to lunch yesterday. Something about the forks at the Chinese buffet reminded me of it, and I do love to amaze my friends with my nerditude, so I did the trick for Nellie (Liz). It is quite amazing to see. Usually the server notices and comments first, and then people at the tables around notice it and comment too! It is definitely an attention getter. Once you know how to do it, the hardest part is setting the tip of the toothpick with the forks on it, on the apex of the toothpick in the shaker. This shaker’s holes are not quite big enough to make it look its freakiest which is when the support toothpick is straight up. It was the only shaker I had, and it definitely still works, but I’ve set it up before where the forks would actually rotate around casually while we ate our dinner.
Here is a challenge for all my Flickr Friends!! We’re not blessed with children of our own, so I’m passing on the toothpick trick to our nieces and nephews, and all of you! I hope you will give it a try and then post a picture of your endeavor and share it with me on this post!!! Here is my best explanation of how it’s done!
Materials:
Two round toothpicks
Two identical four tine forks – lighter is better because then sometimes they spin.
A Salt Shaker (preferably with holes big enough to get the point of the toothpick just down to where the full tip is in, or a bit more and it’s tight – the one pictured is not “tight”).
Instructions:
Place one toothpick vertically in the salt shaker and push it down tight.
Interlace the tines of the two forks.
Insert the other toothpick between the middle tines of the two forks
(It’s okay if it is a bit to one side or the other in this endeavor, but should be as tightly inserted as possible).
Hold the tip of the toothpick in the forks at the tine end, and balance the tip between the handles on the tip of the vertical toothpick!
You will feel it and gently let go! Gravity will do the rest!
If you’re vertical strut is straight up, the toothpick between the forks will be angled a little different than in my post. Thanks for viewing and hopefully trying it!
I would be so excited if even a few of you tried this! Perhaps it would inspire your kids and open up discussions of physics, engineering, geometry and cantilevers…or, at the very least, make them GRIN!!! Thanks for viewing and hopefully giving it a try!

The view from Las Olas, lunch buffet
The food was very good at the lunch buffet, which is basically right on the beach. You can sit indoors under the thatched roof, or outdoors in the sunlight.
I enjoyed the various different types of Caribbean food they served. They always had a good rice dish, great sandwiches and grilled food, an extensive (for a lunch buffet) salad and dessert bar, and they were grilling meat on skewers outside and also cooking up huge pots of paella. The servers quickly got our drinks and were very pleasant.
