THE POWER

OF

A MAGIC CRYSTAL

Ask your friend to

stand on one leg and

hold their arms out.

Push down on one arm

and tell them to try to

stop you from moving

it. Secretly push a little

bit away from their

body—this will cause

them to stumble.

YOU WILL NEED

A friend

A crystal or a

nice-looking stone

Some scammers will use sneaky

science to try to trick you out of your

money. They will tell you they have

crystals that will give you super

balance or good health. But they don’t

actually work! Here’s one way they

fool people into believing them.

Your friend won’t

notice you’re pushing

away from their body—

they’ll just think

you’re pushing

downward.
