A quick ‘n’ sprinkly magic trick anyone can do at home
Some nights of the year are so flippin’ spooky that even the condiments lose their nerve. Here’s a delightfully simple Halloween trick to amaze your little one (and scare the living sneezes out of some pepper). Just grab a bowl of water, some ground pepper and a dab of washing-up liquid – and get ready for some magic.

You will need:
- A bowl of water
- Ground pepper
- Dish soap
- A scary BOOO
Let’s scare some pepper

Step 1
First cover your finger in soap. This is where the magic happens.

Step 2
Prepare the bowl by filling it with water.

Step 3
Season it with plenty of pepper and call your little helper.

Step 4
Can they scare the pepper? No? I think we need a scarier finger.

Step 5
Have your helper give you a ‘BOO’.

Step 6
Get them to make an even bigger one!

Step 7
That will do. Now let’s see how scary this finger is!

Step 8
It must be very scary! Look at all the pepper trying to get away!
