The trick
Take any flat-bottomed broom (it can be angled or straight) with relatively stiff bristles and stand it up so the bottom is flat on the floor. Try balancing it and letting go. If it won't stay upright by itself (some will, some won't, depending on weight, dimensions, and center of gravity), then push straight down, forcing the bristles to spread apart on each side (depending on the particular broom, you may have to use your fingers to spread the bristles evenly). Then gently let up on the downward pressure, balancing the broom upright as you release it. The bristles will retract but not completely, forming a relatively stable base and allowing it to continue standing by itself.
It may not work every time, mind you, or with every single broom, but in my case it worked on the very first try with the very first broom I grabbed. Try it!
