This trick is super easy I use it to entertain little kids when I babysit them. It works with pens, pencils or any other straight stick like eyeliners, etc. Guys, this is a nice trick for a date...

Take a pen, pencil or any other type of straight stick.

Grab the pencil near the end, about 1 inch and a half from the end. Grab it with the index and the thumb.

That's it. In the video the illusion doesn't look like it should. The pencil should look like its made of rubber and bending up and down. Hope you can get it right :)
