What are your best bar tricks? |
|
True confessions time: I was partially raised in a tiny little bar and restaurant, and I learned a bunch of bar tricks at an early age. I can:
Fold dollar bills into interesting origami and to make George Washington change expression when you move the bill Play a mean game of Spin-the Quarter "marbles" Tie a cherry stem into a knot with my tongue Balance one of those bevel-edged salt shakers on its edge on a single grain of salt
There are others but those are my favorites.
Post 'em if you got 'em.

2. fold a bar towell into a rising penis |
|
There's a funny story that goes along with it that you're supposed to tell while doing the folding and get to the punchline just as the towell-penis starts rising and the listeners realize what it is... I can't for the life of me remember the story though - just how to fold the towell to look like a rising penis.
I do some money tricks like the bow tie and some others. Someone showed me how to fold it like a little collared shirt, but I can't remember how... that's one I really want to learn.
I never could stand quarters are their edges or other balancing tricks because where I've worked the bar was either too old and warped or too crowded with much vibrating of the bar with all the thumping going on.
I know some funny tricks with... um... certain body parts, but best I don't go into that here.

5. You can also make George look like a mushroom. I like doing the quarters on the elbow catch. |
|
Of course, my under-hand dartboard shot for a double-bull freaks people out as well, but I have to be pretty wasted to have the beer-muscles to pull off the double-bull on the first try.

6. Beer games. "fuzzy duck": you say it one after the other as it goes around the table. |
|
Then someone changes direction and everyone says "ducky fuzz". Needless to say their is lots of room for some to mistakenly say "does he ****".

7. I can smile at a customer when all I want to do is strangle him. |

It's a trick that got me through many a shift.
