Here's a challenge to throw at your students: Hand them each an index card and a pair of scissors and tell them to find a way to step through their card (their whole body needs to pass through the card). [You could use a piece of paper instead of the index card, it's just not quite a dramatic.]
Here's how it's done...
(Well, one way it can be done. I wouldn't be surprised if your students came up with another).
Fold the card in half, length-wise.
Make cuts, as shown below.
Unfold the card and cut along the fold. BUT, do not cut the two end sections!!
Gently pull the card apart and you'll have a loop you can step/pass through.
hee hee, I remember seeing this trick in a magic book one time.
