Effect: 
A spectator is asked to write down the name of someone who has passed away. Then they write four other names of people who are living. Since Halloween is the "birthday of the spirits" an attempt will be made to contact the person who has "passed on." The papers with the names are mixed up and placed onto the table. Five candles are lit and each one is attached to each paper. The room is dark, except for the candle-light. The spectator takes a deep breath and blows out all of the candles. After a few quiet moments, one candle suddenly relights! And it is attached to the paper with the name of the dead person!

This has been a show-stopping piece for Kostya and he often performs it on Halloween. All you need is some secret knowledge of a few particular methods. The booklet offer several so you can borrow a piece of paper and a pencil and do this impromptu! You'll also need some of those simple birthday candles which are available at most party stores and even grocery stores.
