I saw a guy on TV do a funny trick with a raw egg.
He said he was going to pass it up his nose, through
his nasal cavity, and then out his mouth. And it
looked that way, as he took a raw egg (shelled, of
course) out of a bowl and appeared to pass it up
his nos, then he made a number of grimaces and hit
his head a few times as though he was maneuvering
the egg around. Finally, he spit it out into the
bowl.

What actually happened was when he appeared to be
putting the egg up his nose that was just his finger
in his nose. His hand blocked the view of him
slipping the egg into his mouth. The clue that
he could not have passed the egg up his nose was
that when he spat the egg out, the yolk was not
broken.
