  MAGIC CANDLE TRICK

Carve a candle out of carrot, potato, apple, etc. Place half
a shelled walnut for the wick so it resembles a real candle.
Light the candlewick, there is enough oil in the walnut to
keep it burning for awhile. At the logical tense moment,
blow out the flame and eat the candle, wick and all. The
audience will think you are eating a real candle.
