How to do it:
A bar trick involving fours matches, a lighter, a saucer, a lemon or lime wedge, and a rocks glass. Put a little water in the saucer, enough to be deep but not to the edges of the dish. Inform your friends that you can put all the water in the glass without touching the saucer and only using the items mentioned above.

Solution:
Stick the four matches into the sides of the lemon with the match sticks pointing up. Put the lemon, peel down, on the plate. Light the matches. Place the rocks glass over the lemon. The lack of oxygen will extinguish the flames and will suck all the water off the plate up into the glass.
