That just reminded me of my favorite Penn&Teller trick you can pull on friends at a restaurant.
You secretly pocket one of those liquid coffee creamers that come in the little single-serving plastic cup. At some point (preferably after the meal) you palm it so you're making a fist and the creamer is inside, with the paper part facing away from your thumb.
Then you announce "hey, you all wanna see a cool trick?" With your other hand, you pick up a fork and act like you're gonna do something with your eye. There's usually one in every group who is squeamish about foreign objects in eyes, so you really milk this part -- poke at the bottom of your eyelid, etc. Act like you're trying to set up just the right condition to do something but you can't quite get it right.
Then say "OK, hold on a sec.." and bring the hand concealing the creamer up to your eye. Hold it up to your eye, kinda like you were holding a telescope and looking through it, but the creamer is inside with the paper facing out. Then stick the fork through the opening in your fist, through the paper in the creamer, and squeeze the creamer. The shit squirts everywhere, at which point you let out a scream like you just popped yer eyeball.
If you do this last part right, no one will see the creamer at first and it'll freak everyone out for about 1.5 seconds. It never fails to please.
