Present a Rose from Nowhere

Almost a magic trick, presenting a rose from "nowhere" is a suave move if you do it the right way. Watch your sweetie swoon with delight!

Steps

  1. Select the flower that you want to present.
  2. Wear a top or coat that has loose long sleeves. Place your flower gently up one sleeve, petals up.
  3. Walk up to your sweetie. Using your non-rose hand, make a pinching pose in the air.
  4. Bring the hand with the rose close to the pinching hand.
  5. Pinch the rose on the upper stem.
  6. Move the rose hand down while the pinching hand remains still.
  7. VoilĂ ! Your rose seems to appear out of nowhere.
  8. Hand it to your sweetie with a big smile.

Tips

  • Long flowers with a stiff stalk work better, because they won't droop or get caught on your sleeve.
  • If you want to try it with your sleeves, practice a couple times beforehand, unless you are content with displaying the "clumsy cute" look.
  • The effect could be heightened if you could try to attach a small paper, maybe a note or a love poem. It's best to use tape, or something less visible; definitely not white glue!

Warnings

  • Be gentle, or you may damage the flower you are attempting to give as a present.
  • If it is a rose, it's a good idea to remove the thorns carefully with a knife so that you don't cut yourself, but this can somehow destroy the romance or the general magic of the trick by showing that the rose was prepared earlier.
