Hey YouTube, Jim here!
Welcome to Top10Archive!
“Wanna make a friendly wager?”
It’s a dangerous inquiry you’ll want to keep clear of, especially if you’re tossing
back a pint in your local pub.
Anyone that offers a wager likely has a trick up their sleeve, an ace-in-the-hole that will
guarantee their win.
Now, if you’d like to be the one offering the bet, just try any of these top ten bar
tricks you’re bound to make money off of.
Now I bet by the end of this video, you can be a winner by subscribing to Top10Archive,

Bend a Cigarette without Breaking Put that nasty smoking habit to use with this
easy-to-do bar trick.
Before proclaiming your ability to bend a cigarette without breaking it, be sure to
have a dollar bill on hand.
While they’re busy calling you a liar, roll the cigarette very tightly in the dollar.
Bend the cigarette in half, making sure the dollar doesn’t unravel, then straighten
it.
Once unraveled, you’ll still have a whole cigarette and whatever winnings earned from
those that doubted you.
9.
The Napkin Knot You’ll need two arms and a rather large
napkin before betting that you can hold a napkin at two ends and, without letting go,
tie it into a knot.
With the napkin laid out on the table, cross your arms in front of you as if striking a
“cool guy” pose or you just heard something really irksome.
Without unfolding your arms, pick up two ends of the napkin and, in one motion, unfold your
arms.
With a rather smug look, present your newly knotted napkin.
8.
Newspaper Opener Surely no one can open a beer bottle with
a newspaper, right?
Oh, but you can!
Take a newspaper, roll it, and then flatten it as much as possible.
You’ll have a pretty solid newspaper, but fold it in half to make it sturdier.
Now, just as you’d pop a bottle open on the edge of the table, place the newspaper
under the rim of the cap and push.
With just enough force, the top should pop off.
7.
Swapping Whiskey People may think you’re insane when you
say you can swap a shot of water and a shot of whiskey without a third shot glass, but
it’s possible.
You’ll need two full glasses, one with water and the other with whiskey, and a playing
card.
Cover the glass of water with the card and carefully place it face down on the shot of
whiskey, creating a seal.
When you pull the card back, the water should rush into the glass of whiskey and push the
libation into the top glass.
6.
The Eight Coins Take eight coins and lay them out in a right
angle with five coins making up one leg and four making another.
To your intended pigeon … uh target … uh friend, claim that you can make it so there
are five coins in each leg by moving only one coin.
Watch as their expression goes from confusion to the largest eyeroll ever as you pick up
the last coin in the leg with five coins and place it on top of the coin at the juncture
of the legs.
5.
The Coat Test The person you make this wager with may think
you’re daft when you bet him that he won’t be able to take his coat off by himself.
He’s likely done it dozens of times before without anyone’s help, so without hesitation,
he starts to remove his jacket.
Once he starts to slip the garment off, that’s your cue to also start taking your jacket
off, proving that he wouldn’t be removing his by himself.
You’ll likely get a few dirty looks with this one, but it’s funny none-the-less.
4.
Names from a Hat This trick requires you to have a decent sense
of touch … “Jim!”
… uh, sorry … Take a piece of paper and have someone fold it into equal thirds.
On each section, have them write three names, but ensure that theirs is the one in the middle.
Then, instruct them to tear the paper along the folds, fold the slips in half, and drop
them into a hat.
Your bet is that you can pick his name out of the hat and, if you can quickly feel the
edges of the paper, you should be able to do it.
You just need to find the paper that is jagged on both sides from the tear.
3.
The Balancer You’ll need two forks, a pint glass, and
a secret weapon – a matchbook.
Then, make the wager – that you’ll be able to balance the forks on the edge of the
glass.
Amidst the outcry of disbelief, place the tines of the forks into the opposite sides
of the matchbook.
Make sure it’s sturdy and locked tight before placing the matchbook on the lip of the glass
until it’s balanced and steady.
2.
The Leg Lift Wanna make your fellow bar patrons look like
fools (as if enough adult libation hasn’t already been consumed by this time of the
evening so that they’re not already making fools of themselves)?
Bet any number of them that, with the left side of their body pressed against a wall
– from ankle to cheek – they can’t lift their right leg off the ground.
So many will try and you’ll have the satisfaction each time of being 100% correct.
Though their body may seem like it’s supported by the wall, that right leg is what’s keeping
them grounded.
1.
The Underwater Trick Sometimes, it’s all about how you word something.
For instance, stating you can hold your breath underwater for six minutes means something
completely different than saying you can stay underwater for six minutes.
That first one will likely get you killed.
The second, however, could make you some money.
Find a gullible person and wager that you can stay underwater for a length of time that
isn’t so impossible to believe that they’ll know you’re tricking them.
Then, hold a glass of water over your head for that period of time.
But first, be sure that you can hold your hand over your head for that time.
Thanks for watching!
