What You Need:
- Plastic Comb
- Paper
- Ping pong ball
Instructions:
Tell your friends you have a magic, magnetic comb.
- Rip up the paper into tiny pieces.
- Run the comb through your hair a few times and move it over the small paper fragments.
- The paper jumps onto the comb.
- Comb your hair a few more times to recharge it’s “magnetic” ability.
- Place the ping pong ball on a flat surface and bring the comb close to it.
- The ball starts to move towards the comb!
Note:
Your comb itself is not really “magnetic.” By running it through your hair, your’re causing it to get “charged” up with static electricity. This creates a small amount of magnetic activity.
