Turkish Toothpick Trick

Yener, our host in Istanbul, taught us this nifty trick over a dinner of "Kokorech" which is spicy lamb tripe.
Here's Yener with the toothpicks, about to start out.

Step 1 Break but Don't Separate

Take 5 toothpicks and break them in the middle. Fold them over but don't separate the two halves. Make sure you don't break them apart. There need to have some slivers still connecting the two halves.

That's nifty, like watch cereal assemble itself but way cleverer...

The coat backpack was a partial failure, some of the ideas from it were cool though.

That's a shame, in hindsight a shoulder bag would have been simpler... you going to publish the results or let it lie?

[Yerboogieman]

I haven't decided. That would required me to take pictures and talk about how i made it. Just to make another failed instructable.

Eh it's been some time since I've been featured, despite both my writing and pictures improving immensely since then... I suspect there's a good project in it somewhere though...

[Yerboogieman]

Yeah.

My Dad used to do that trick for my brother and I when we were kids, but he claimed it would only work with coffee..... that mysterious liquid only allowed to grownups!
