Once perfected, this trick can definitely impress your friends. It can also help you win bets like "So, if I can open my beer using only your $20 bill, do I get to keep it?"
It takes a lot of practice and reasonable arm strength to perform this trick. It helps if you use the hand you're holding the bottle with to get leverage by using it as a fulcrum. First learn to do this with another bottle, then you'll understand how to use a dollar bill. It's all about using the object as a lever. A lighter can also be used in same way. Damaging the bill is only a crime in the United States if done "with intent to render [it] unfit to be reissued." [1]
Step1
Fold the dollar bill in half.
Step2
Roll up the dollar bill as tightly as you possibly can.
Step3
This is what your dollar bill should look like.Bend the rolled dollar bill in half to maximize the pressure at the bend.
