Burning Matchsticks Appear to Kiss After Being Lit

Two matchsticks set up next to each other, with one slightly higher than the other and their heads touching, appear to kiss in a long, incendiary embrace after one is lit. The trick is simple but the effect is quite amazing.

Review Singh demonstrated how to perform this trick with just a couple of matchsticks and a coin for height.
