One end is anchored by thumb and forefinger, and the other end is bent back, then released. When released, it will strike the fluffy end of a Q-tip low enough to cause the Q-tip to launch through the air. Good luck. Yes, exactly- the spaghetti stick stays on the table.

How does it launch things into the air? I’m a little confused – is the spaghetti meant to stay on the table and anchored by thumb and forefinger the whole time, with just the other end moving?

That's a neat sideline about breaking a spaghetti stick in two. Thanks for sharing that!

I'm sure that just breaking the spaghetti will be greatly enjoyed. As a sideline, kids could investigate how many pieces of spaghetti they get when they break the spaghetti by holding the ends - is it 2 or is it always 3? I have a feeling you always get 3.
