Quick cool projects: Matchhead rockets

This post will be about a very quick and easy "project" you can use as a past time: making matchead rockets.

It takes only minutes and basic household items you already have to get started, and you can spend as much time as you wish perfecting the process or actually firing said rockets.
It's also a lot of fun, lighting them, watching them take off, and chasing and putting out the various fires they will start when landing everywhere (just kidding, but be careful though, the risk is real).

Those tiny projectiles are made of full matches, or just match heads, rolled in aluminium foil, and fired from a thin wire base, by applying heat with a lighter.
Once you get good at making them, or find your own secret recipe, you can shoot those pretty far !

Perfect for rainy slow days, or to compete against your friends.

Discovering a hobby: Juggling begleri beads

Sooo. You liked the previous article about butterfly knife tricks. You got bit by the tricking bug (and maybe even by the knife itself). You now feel empty when there's nothing in your hands to play with along the day.

Unfortunately, flipping knives around is not really the most socially acceptable activity in most of places. It might not even be legal in many of them.

Worry no more (pun intended). There is a safe, discreet and accessible way to get similar sensations, that you can make right now and carry with you anywhere : Begleri beads.
