This one is all yours
Nothing sharp, nothing hot, nowhere far. Tell someone what you're up to, then go ahead and do it on your own.
Why it works
Light travels in straight lines. Put your hand in the way and the light behind it is blocked, so a hand-shaped patch of dark lands on the wall. Move your hand closer to the lamp and the shadow grows, because it's blocking a wider spread of light.
Lambton County twist
Make a tiny rabbit discover a door in the moon.
