How many do you want?
I got some from some drunken mates at my 30th.
Health and safety doesn't allow it any more.

Friend of mine had the bumps on his 40th birthday party recently - I think his mates wished he was still ten, not easy throwing a 15 stone grown man up in the air 40 times!

I remember my friends doing it to me once when I was young - someone stood on my long hair then they threw me up in the air and my hair was yanked out by the roots. O U C H

No you have to carry out a risk assessment prior to bumps commencing by which time the urge has passed and probably the actual birthday.

We used to try and levitate each other as well?
Anyone else try and lift a freind only using one finger off each hand?

I never liked the ones where you were chucked up in the air and then no-one caught you, you just landed on your arse and spent your birthday in traction

we used to levitate people during break time - using the little finger and reciting some words which I can't remember. What I do remember is that it worked! This was during the 1970s so before most of your time I guess.
