Hey~

I've seen some guys do some pretty sick bottle tricks where they make the bottle spin around their hand and stuff? Any of you know how to do it and want to share some information on how to do it?

I don't know where you are from, but like once a year here all the Bar tenders here have a showoff. They do all types of tricks, they do some really crazy stuff. I don't know when the next compitition will be held, but I hope to get some footage of it.

A month ago I went to Baltimore to visit some family, while at the harbor we watched this guy do some pretty cool tricks with different props. Here's a pretty cool bottle trick he did. Sorry about the images being so blured. I'm just finally started using my digi camera, and I need to learn how to shoot better and edit my photos.




He then later went on to start balancing more dangerous objects

Bottle trick

Rising Beer Bottle Trick
Effect: Take an ordinary beer bottle, with a flat bottom preferably, as this will make it harder for others to copy your stunt.
Drink the beer first, this is important !!!!
Place the empty bottle upside down on the table.
Place your thumb against the side of the bottle with your fingers over the bottom.
Place either your first finger or middle finger on the bottom of the glass.
Your thumb and first finger should appear to form a right angle or as to close to a right angle as possible.
Slowly pick up the bottle without touching it with your other fingers or anything else.
Once you've mastered the trick for this pick-up and performed it, ask the others with you to try it!!!
Bet a few beers on the outcome !!!

Method: Just before performing this trick, rub your thumb and fingers along the leather belt your wearing to hold your pants up. Do this several times, no one will notice you doing it before the trick.

The leather seems to give your fingers the dryness necessary to allow you to pick up the bottle. If you can dry the bottle , even if only slightly it will also help but it is usually not necessary. (The wetter the spectators bottles are the more impossible it will be for them to pick their bottle up).

(This has won my mom many rounds in the pub )

Dang wow! I wonder if I'll be talented enough to pull that off. That could be cool to perform at my next party.
