Trick = A napkin is placed on the table, then a toothpick is put on top and in the center of the napkin. Then you fold the napkin so that the toothpick is inside the folded napkin, the spectator is asked to break the toothpick inside the folded napkin, remember the spectator breaks the toothpick himself. As well as this, everyone can double check it and even hear the sound of it breaking. Then you can make some magical gesture over the folded napkin and tooth pick. Then the spectator unfolds the napkin and everyone can see that the toothpick has restored
Preparation = Fabric napkin with seams on the sides. 2 toothpicks. 
Before performing this trick, insert 1 toothpick into the one of the seam on either side of the napkin. This toothpick is the one which is going to be broken. Then the trick is ready to be performed. 
Method = Show the audience a napkin on both sides then lay it on the table or bar. You must remember which side the seam with hidden toothpick is on. Then take out a toothpick from its box and place it on top of the napkin.
Then fold the napkin by bringing all 4 corners over the toothpick to the opposite side, remembering where the last position of the seam with hidden toothpick is. After the napkin is folded, grab the seam with the hidden toothpick and ask a spectator to break the hidden toothpick, after that you can let another spectator check the broken hidden toothpick without opening the folded napkin. You should always hold the napkin to make sure spectators don't do something that can mess up the trick. 
Then you make a magical gesture over the napkin then put it back on the table, then unfold the napkin and find that the toothpick is restored.

Hypnotized Handkerchief

Trick = A magician produces a silk, rolls it up into a sort of stick-like shape, then hypnotizes it so it follows his finger.
Preparation = Openly take out a handkerchief, or silk.
Method = Hold the handkerchief with the left hand at the top left corner, and with the right hand on the right hand side at the middle. Twirl the handkerchief over and over, until it is in a tall, thin sausage. Hold it at the middle. Pretend to hypnotize the handkerchief, either playing it up very strongly, or not so strongly, according to personal taste and other tricks you're going to do. Tell it to bow to the audience. Squeeze it with your fingers on one side, and push forward with your thumb. The handkerchief will 'bow' to the audience. By applying the same principle, bring your left around the handkerchief, and make the handkerchief follow. Gradually, you will noticed the handkerchief flops slightly, and when that happens, stop leading it places. Instead, make sure it's standing tall. Bring your left hand down on top of it, and crush it flat. Remove your left hand, and as long as your handkerchief is still quite fresh, it will rise back up to where it was before. Snap the handkerchief open and hand it to the audience for inspection.
