Flying Tea Bags!

First, the contents of the tea bag are emptied out and the bag is unfolded into a tube. This tube is then stood up straight ( and open ) on a sheet of Aluminium Foil. This will later trap the heat and make sure the fire only burns the bag.


Secondly, the bag is lit on fire, preferably with a gas lighter, on both sides. The fire will burn down the teabag
until it reaches the aluminium foil, then it will stop because the foil traps the heat inside of it, so it will not catch
fire.


Thirdly, when the fire finally reaches the bottom of the tea bag, the flame will disappear, being absorbed
into the aluminium foil. The air inside of the tea bag will become lighter than the air surrounding, giving it
the ability to soar through the air. This is when someone will swiftly move their hands upwards to push the
ashes into the air, and to make matters more fun, they will shout “Wingardium Leviosa!”


Lastly, the cold air goes underneath the tea bag to push the ashes upwards to make it go rocketing into the air!
It’s so magical when the ashes fly up. The fire does not burn the tinfoil because it absorbs the heat, making it
unable to burn.
When the fire is first put on the tea bag, it’s made less dense, giving it the ability to lift in the air. The
bag then gets to a point that it’s just light enough to give it that reaction.
