A normal ice cube floats in a bowl of water. How can you get it out using a match? We'll show you a trick: To your audience's amazement, you place the match on the ice cube, sprinkle a mysterious white powder on it, and lift the ice cube out of the water with the match. The ice cube sticks to the match as if it were glued on! The "magical powder" is nothing more than... common salt! It thaws the surface of the ice cube a little, when you sprinkle it over, but the water freezes again straight away. Only now the match is frozen onto the ice, so that the ice cube "sticks" to it.
