Opticalloozza #1776 The Phantom Phrankphurter

Hold your hands in front of you, at
20- to 30-cm distance from you, at
eye level. Point your index fingers
towards each other and slowly move
them closer together.

As your index fingers draw closer to
each other, gaze "through" your
fingers into the distance behind them.
The illusion works best when the
background is homogenous and has a
color much different from your fingers.

A hot dog will appear now between the
tips of your index fingers -- pork or all
beef, on a standard bun or Kaiser roll
and with an array of fixin's, depending
upon your religious and gustatory
preferences.
