:: How to Light a Candle Without Touching the Wick ::

Amaze everybody with your stunning candle act. Light the candle without touching the wick. It's not hard to do, but it's still fire so watch out. Some people may call it magic, but it's also science, so one hurray for science.

Steps

1. 
   Make sure you don't burn your fingers, other body parts, carpets, house, etc.
2. 
   Light your candle normally.
3. 
   Let it burn until the wick is charred.
4. 
   Blow out the candle, a wreath of smoke will curl upward from the wick.
5. 
   Apply a match to this smoke a couple of inches above the candle, the flame will run down the smoke and lighting the candle. This is explained by a gas in the smoke being ignited by the match.

And yet again, the proof that science is all around you.
