Best Bar Trick

[Chairboy]

One thing I used to do at Denny's when i was w/ my friends would be to casually fill a half full glass of water w/ butane from a lighter, then light it and pull my hand away.  If I did it at the right time, a tongue of fire would reach up almost to the ceiling for a second.

Another neat bar trick is hooking a spoon and a fork together (spoon head through the fork tines) then putting a toothpick through the middle tine between the base of the fork and the spoon and setting it on the edge of a glass.  It LOOKS like there's no way it should balance, but the fork/spoon combo 'magically' balances an inch or so out from the glass.

If you're a jerk or know the waitress and want to mess with her (or are breaking in a new waiter/waitress at a restaurant you work at), get a glass of water, put a playing card over the top so it seals it shut, then flip it upside down and place it on the table.  Pull the card out quickly, a little water will leak out, but the glass will be sitting on the table upside down, only its weight holding in the water.

If the server is new or isn't too clever, he/she will struggle with it before finally just picking up the glass and making a mess because the water dumps out.

If they're smart, they just grab a bus bin and slide it into that.

Of course, if you work at a restaurant and you're in on your day off and doing that to someone you work with while you're at a table after eating, she'll just slide it to you over the edge so the water drains into your lap.  At least, that's what happened to me.

So, do you just carry raw eggs with you at all times, or only when you are drinking??
