Set the Coin Free Without Dropping the Matchstick.

Hello fellow puzzlers!

My name is Amit, and I'm excited to present my submission for the puzzle contest. I've been a fan of puzzles since I was a child, and I'm passionate about creating puzzles that will challenge and entertain. I'm confident that my submission will bring hours of entertainment to fellow puzzlers, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it is received.

Match box

2 Paper/plastic cups

1 Coin

Incense (optional)

Here we have two glasses held in an inverted orientation. Between them is a match, and the left glass has a penny stuck in it. Are you able to take the coin out without the dropping the matchstick down?

P.S. - Please, give this a try before scrolling down to the solution.

Light the matchstick's head with another matchstick or a stick of incense and extinguish it immediately. It will adhere to the left glass, allowing you to take out the glass and retrieve the coin without dropping the matchstick.

I hope you enjoy trying out this puzzle with your friends, as it only requires three simple props (a glass, a coin, and a matchbox), all of which are readily available at parties, and it can be your show-stopping trick.
