Bars are everywhere – in major cities and towns, on roadsides, rural communities and even in hotels. People especially men love to go to the bar for various reasons, the main one being to consume alcoholic beverages. For some people it’s a place to hang with friends. It is fun for others as some bars have games available such as chess, cards and pool, to entertain them. Some people go to the bar to drown their problems in alcohol. Whatever the reason, the bar is well supported. If you are unsure of what a bar is, though that would be unbelievable, it is an establishment that serves drinks, alcoholic beverages and cocktails. Some bars take the entertainment to another level by providing live entertainment on a stage. Bars are very popular and each bar owner needs to find ways and strategies to lure customers to their establishment and to keep existing and newcomers. Many patrons come to the bar but when they leave they not only leave an empty glasses, bottles or just a tip, they also leave many jokes and tricks behind.
Here are some very common bar tricks:
Anti-Gravity Beer
the effect of this trick is a person who left the bar for a moment returns to find his beer upside down without any beer pouring. You will need a knife, a pack of cigarettes, full bottle of beer and a beer mat. Remove the plastic wrapper off the cigarette box. Cut a hole with the knife in the plastic big enough to cover the bottle rim. Wet the bottle rim and stick the plastic circle over it. Place a beer mat on top and hold it in place while you turn the bottle upside down. Carefully remove the beer mat and leave the plastic to hold the beer inside the bottle. When the person returns, hand them the beer and tap on the bottom to release the beer to get a good laugh.
Dragon’s Breath
The effect of this trick is to prove to your friends that you can remove water from an ashtray using only a few items without moving the ashtray. You will need a glass, a matchbox, 6 quarters and an astray filled with water. Stack the six quarters in the centre of the ashtray with the water. The two top quarters must be above the water. Put four unlit match sticks on top of the quarters. Light the match sticks and use the glass to cover the flames immediately. The water will be drawn from the ashtray and into the glass.
Rising Beer Bottle
take a regular beer bottle (one that has a flat bottom). Drink the beer quickly. Put the bottle to stand upside down on the counter and place your fingers on the bottom of the bottle and your thumb on the side. Your thumb and your first finger should be positioned to form a right angle. Pick up the beer bottle slowly without using any other fingers other than the two.
