Great Bar Magic Tricks

Looking for a way to attract some attention at the bar while plying your sleight of hand? Some great bar magic tricks can draw a crowd and make you the life of the party. Luckily there are quite a few that are easy to learn and can be put into practice rather quickly. You won’t need any equipment that you can’t find in your local tavern.

The first one you may have seen a variation of back in science class in school. It’s called the sucking glass trick. It gets that name because you are trying to get the beer into the glass without pouring it in. You’ll need a coin, an ashtray, an empty pint glass, a box of matches and some beer.

After you have gathered the necessary props, place the ashtray on the bar and pour a small amount of beer into it. Place the coin in the middle of the beer. Place a lit match horizontally on the coin. Now grab the pint glass and place it over the match and the coin. Make sure the edges are flat in the beer. Within a few seconds, the match will exhaust the oxygen in the glass creating a suction pulling the beer into the glass. Voila!

The next trick is even simpler to learn than the first. It’s called push the glass. You’ll need a shot glass, a beer mug and a straw. Take the shot glass and place it on the bar next to the beer mug. Assure your onlookers that you can push the shot glass through the handle of the beer mug without touching either glass. Now take the straw and put it through the handle of the mug and push the shot glass with it. You just pushed the glass through the handle of the mug!

For your next great bar magic trick, called the olive bridge, you’ll need an olive, three whiskey glasses, a brandy glass and a straw. When this trick is performed correctly, you’ll make the olive leap over a hurdle and into a third glass.

Put the olive on the bar and place two of the whiskey glasses upside down about six inches apart and six inches from the olive. Set the straw on top of the glasses to form a hurdle. Take the third glass and place it right side up six inches on the other side of the hurdle.

Now take the brandy glass and turn it upside down over the olive. Hold the base of the glass and begin twirling it around the olive. As you continue to twirl you will create a centrifugal force causing the olive to spin around the inside of the glass. Keep twirling as you lift the glass. Move the glass over the hurdle and over the third glass. When you are over the third glass stop twirling the olive in the brandy glass and it will fall into the whiskey glass.

While these tricks are easy to learn you should still give yourself some practice time to get everything right before trying them out in front of the bar crowd. After all you’re shooting for the admiration of the crowd, not embarrassment. Master them and you can have a lot of fun and your own crowd of onlookers at the bar not to mention it’s a great way to meet people and start conversations.

Push Barman to Open Old Wounds


Push Barman to Open Old Wounds


$7.25


In many ways this collection, which compiles each of the band’s out of print EPs from 1997-2001, is all the “greatest hits” you’ll need by the Scottish combo. It’s easy to take Belle and Sebastian for granted these days–they don’t sound as good as they used to, and certainly it’s difficult to imagine them ever becoming as culturally/musically relevant as they were once upon a precious, fey little…

Morells


Morells

Led by bassist Lou Whitney and guitarist D. Clinton Thompson, the same Missouri twosome who also front the Skeletons, the Morells are even rootsier than their alter-ego band. The Skeletons could evoke the Kinks and the Beach Boys in the course of one song, but the Morells’ eponymous album–their second in 19 years–finds the quartet going back even further, although that garage-band spirit is neve…

A Serious Man


A Serious Man


$5.00


Joel and Ethan Coen make movies like nobody else’s, but even by their standards A Serious Man is in a class by itself: a complete original that’s one of the brothers’ best. After a deeply weird Yiddish folk-tale prologue set in 19th-century Poland (and framed in the old 1.33:1 format), the picture shifts to the region and era of the Coens’ own upbringing, a Minneapolis suburb in 1967. Larry Gopnik…
