trick candles

Prank birthday flames

Trick candles are birthday candles designed to reignite after being blown out.

The wick contains magnesium, which stays hot enough to relight the paraffin.

Children blow them out repeatedly until someone reveals the joke or pinches the wicks.

He put trick candles on her cake and she blew them out five times before catching on.
