Candle Snuffing

The feat of snuffing a candle without touching it or blowing on it only requires a small prop, a candle, but it look impressive. When using a hand strike or a kick straight at the flame, it only takes a quick, snapping, well-focused technique that stops just short of the flame to snuff it. This technique does require skill since the hand or foot must be fired with enough quickness and power that, when it suddenly stops, the air it has been pushing before it will continue into the flame and snuff it. It is easier to use a strike or kick that travels just above the flame to snuff it. With enough speed in the movement, the flame will be sucked out as the hand or foot passes over it.

Another impressive way to snuff a candle is by pointing your finger at it from a distance and "shooting ki" at it. This is simple to do; it only requires timing. Before the feat, place a suitable non-flammable substance at a predetermined point on the wick. During your act, light the candle, talk about the powers of ki for a predetermined amount of time, and then point at the candle and project your ki at it, the candle will go out when the flame reaches the applied substance.

Fist Wall

This ki feat is used to illustrate thinking beyond an obstacle.

To perform this feat:

Two students stand facing each other in strong front stances, one a right stance the other a left stance. They extend their leading arms in fore fist punches. They move forward until their fists are touching. Then they force the two fists together as hard as they can, forming a fist wall.
Now, you approach from the side, perpendicular to the fist wall, and walk through the fist wall as the two students attempt to resist your walking through the fists.

Tips:

To penetrate the fist wall, you must relax and think beyond the wall.
Do not accept the wall's existence.
Do not change you pace, your body tension, or anything in your posture.
Just ignore the fist wall and walk thought it as if it did not exist.
Think of the wall as wispy strand of spider web that is insignificant.
