You can remove your thumb.
This is how you hold your hands.
while your back is turned. This one is shameless.
The tip of one thumb attaches to
the base of the other.
The finger hides the join.
Slide the tip off a little way,
then slide it back.
Be quick! If they look too hard,
they'll spot the trick.
This will get you off games,

conscription into the army,
jury service,

Pull your head sideways and at the same time
squeeze the glass with your arm. It'll sound
like your head is about to drop off.
You'll be in hospital in no time.
"Bet you a million pounds I can push
myself under that door."
How is it done?

or book the show
