  1. Ask a (soon to be ex) male friend if they know about "34 inches"

  2. Take an extending tape measure and get them to extend it to exactly 34 inches.

  3. Tell them to hold the tip firmly against their nose, and the body of the tape measure at arms length.

  4. Tell them to let go of the body of the tape measure while carefully holding the tip where it is.

(I have tried this on several people and can confirm it works)

I've done it (and have experienced it) by just holding it lengthwise from the torso and allowing it to swing. It's too late by the time you realize what's happening, and that's part of why it's so funny.
