Answer to a trick please?

Question

I saw a guy this weekend at a dinner party, take a spoon and butter knife and pick them up, as though they were magnetic. How did he do it? He held the knife and stuck it to the spoon and picked up the spoon w/ the end of the knife.

Answer 1

It can be quite easily done. He probably had a electric coil hidden in his palm. He inserted the knife in the coil and pressed a secret button. This would make the knife an electromagnet. The fork can be easily picked up then
