TRY THIS AT HOME! It really works! Fool your friends! Send secret messages! Got something to say, but want to keep it private? Forget texting, and go invisible ink! That’s right—or should we say, that’s write—you know, the stuff that flows out of a pen? Only you can’t see it: it vanishes before your eyes! Shhhh … don’t tell anyone, but once you know the trick, you can
see it! (We’ll get to that part in a minute.) First, you make the ink
yourself, by following an ancient, home recipe, passed down from kid to
kid to kid, from goodness knows how long ago. You can do this in your own kitchen, using a few common ingredients—just don’t get caught! Ready? Here’s what you do.

Ah...I remember the invisible ink technique. You use lemon juice to write with and it disappears as it dries on the paper...then send it to a friend and tell them to use a hot iron and iron over the hidden message and the message is revealed. Oops! Was I supposed to tell the secret? Ah, but you do have to use an old fashioned ink pen that will suck up the lemon juice so you can write with it.
