Make a
Detergent Boat.

1. Cut out a piece of card, in to this sort of shape.

2. Place your \'boat\' onto clean, still, water.

It doesn\'t exactly roar away with a great splash of spray and the thunder of a mighty motor . . . but it does move!

The dead finger in the matchbox.

All you need for this horrible little trick, is a matchbox, some cotton wool, and some red stuff that looks like blood. (I hope you aren\'t too squeamish too!)

Cut a little hole in the back of the drawer, and poke your finger through . . . then pad it with some cotton wool, and add a little \'blood\' to make it look fresh. You can also puff a little powder on it, or try some other colors, using food dye.

THE ANSWER TO THE HAT PUZZLE:
The brim is exactly as wide as the hat is tall. It doesn\'t look like that does it!
