i couldn't understand dis trick .What happens at the end

[mavaje]

You pin the safety pin to the inside of your pocket or somewhere, pull the match out quick and it will look like you were carrying a lit match.

[TheAmazingJampie]

I brought a knife like this and the blade broke and cut me. Be careful...

I figured out an better way, instead of using the rubber band which can be a pain to get a new match in i used a big clip (not sure whats its called).

ooooooooooohhhhhh!!!! that would be great for new years eve!, it's just like a popper, but when you pull it, fire!!

Another fun one is to put the match standing up on the strike pad thing with the head down and hold it like a paper football and flick it at something. It lites and flies through the air and scares people, and usually goes out before it hits the ground.

[firefighter1333]

i've already used it as a fuse, works realy good! only it was to quick and the smoke bomb was almost burning in my hand... and it was an other design i think this one is better!so thx :)

[awkrin]

and what's the safety pin for?

[Jor2daje]

it pins to the inside of your shirt so you can pull the match out and make it seem like you had a lit match inside your shirt

[zumbo333]

amazingly simple and conventional great job!

[Obsessive]

Hey! I made a few of those last night and it got me thinking. So I incorporated your idea into an easy match lighter for my incense tray. Every time I'm ready to light up a stick (Incense...) I just yank the match out and light. Then I take a match out of little holder I made, apply pressure to the sides of the lighter, and slide it in for next time! Very convenient. Thanks for the instructable.

[pyro13]

well done, i like it

[Obsessive]

Awesome!! I love it! It really works, and it takes like two seconds to make. This will be a great party trick. I'll look real smooth. ; D Although it may be more effective to attract all the women smokers... Nice job.

[joejoerowley]

Cool! Great Instructable!

or you could put a ring on it instead of a close pin, insert it in pyro device (like a smoke bomb) pull ring and throw for an awesome effect that would be great in a cheep diy movie.
