== Preparation == 1. Start by pushing the fork and spoon together. The next step takes some practice and patience. Place the first toothpick in between the forks middle prong, so that they balance properly on the toothpick. 2. Place another toothpick inside one of the salt shaker holes, so that it is sticking up. 3. The next part is also tricky but you can do it. Carefully rest the toothpick with the fork and spoon on top of the second toothpick. Just slide the toothpick back and forth along the second toothpick until you think you've found the perfect balancing point. Slowly pull your hands away to reveal the amazing balancing fork contraption. 4. Once you've mastered the balancing, you're ready to do a little showing off. Strike a match and burn the end of the toothpick that does not have to spoon and fork. To everyone's bewilderment, the toothpick will burn down to the point where the toothpicks meet, but the forks will not fall. It's the ultimate balancing fork act. Prepare yourself for a standing ovation!
