Step 1. Choose a suitable stem for the purpose

The best are the longest and most tender, for example the stalks of maraschino cherries.

  • Show it to the public to reassure everyone that the stem is not knotted when you put it in your mouth.
  • Soften the stalk in your mouth by rubbing it and wetting it with saliva. You can chew it or fold it as needed.

Step 2. Fold the stem in half at the tip of the tongue

The best method is lengthwise, so that the petiole is half in contact with the upper part of the tongue, and half in contact with the lower part.

    For more success, run the nub through the knotted petiole. Hold the knotted petiole with your teeth, and push the core with the tip of your tongue. Everyone will believe that you have knotted the petiole on the core. Poor fools!

Warnings

  • Do not have children under the age of 7 perform this trick due to the danger of suffocation.
  • Makeup can attract unwanted attention.
