COOL Match Tricks | Floating Match Head Pub Trick
Here's a bartender magic trick you can pull out at anytime. http://barsandbartending.com/YT-cheat
This cool match trick is pretty easy to perform - if you have a large thumb!
To perform the floating match head pub trick, you'll need an empty see-through beer bottle
filled almost to the top with water as well as some wooden matches.
The Bet: Can you get the match head to sink to the bottom of the bottle without turning
the bottle upside down (or using any other materials to shove it down)?
The trick to this pub trick is that you need a fairly large thumb. Your thumb has to completely
cover the top of the bottle so that it's air tight. If your thumb is too small - like mine
in this video - it makes it tough to force the air down and thereby force the match head
to the bottom.
Practise this bartender magic trick before going out and betting someone. As you can
see from the video, it's not as easy as it may seem at first.
Try it with a single match head and then you can graduate to putting in three match heads
and having them float at different intervals in the bottle (i.e top, middle, bottom).
