How to Do the Unopened Bottle Bar Trick

In the unopened bottle bar trick you bet someone you can drink from an unopened bottle of wine. This bar trick is a play on words, not and illusion. The unopened bottle of wine trick only works on the same person once.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Bottle of wine with an indented bottom
• Water

1. Grab a bottle of wine. It needs to be the type of bottle with an indented bottom.
2. Place the unopened bottle of wine on the bar in front of the person you want to trick. Be sure the person has a good sense of humour and does not anger easily.
3. Tell the person you can drink from the unopened bottle of wine. Be careful with your words. It's best to say "drink from the unopened bottle." Ask the person if they will bet that you can't drink from the bottle.
4. Take the bottle to the tap and turn the bottle over. Fill the indented part of the bottle's base with water.
5. Turn and face the person before you drink from the bottom of the bottle. Drink the water from the bottle's indentation.
6. Take the money from the person you tricked. If they argue and say you did not drink the bottle, remind them you said drink "from" the bottle.

Tips & Warnings
