Here is a pepper trick my Mom taught me as a young child. I taught my kids this trick also. We always played games and tricks after dinner. It brought us together as a family.

Step 1: Supplies

Small glass of water.
Pepper shaker.
Large plate with a rim.
Dish washing liquid soap.

Step 2: Water

Pour the water into the plate as full as you can without it spilling over the edges.

Step 3: Soap

Do this part secretly; you don't want to give away the trick.

Place a drop of soap on your index finger.
Gently rub the soap between your index finger and thumb.
You don't want to rub it in like lotion, you need it to be a little watery.

Step 4: Pepper

Shake the pepper into the water.

Step 5: Method

Place your finger along the edge of the plate into the water.

Step 6: Trick

As soon as the finger is placed into the water, the pepper slides across the opposite direction of the plate.

Step 7: Sunshiine's Final Thoughts

This is a great trick to pull on a dinner guest.
