Blowing an egg out of its shell is one of the oldest tricks in the book.

However, it's not quite as easy as a quick exhale into a fractured hard-boiled egg.

Opera singer or asthmatic, the trick of baking soda will make the blow much easier.

This video is a product of Timothy Ferriss, a podcasting entrepreneur who holds credentials as a National Chinese kickboxing champion and competitive "hurler".

it's added in when you're going to boil the eggs with water (the level of water is about 2 inches above the eggs).

I would recommend that you lower your entire soda sack into the boiling water be sure your doin's are exactly two inches below the water's surface.
