There are so many great bar magic tricks you can try out. Just to give you an idea, here are a few which will tell you what equipment you need and how to do it.

The first is called the sucking glass trick because you are trying to make beer go into the glass with touching the beer itself. For this you will need an ashtray, an empty pint glass, some beer, a box of matches and a coin.

When everything is ready, you pour a shallow layer of beer into the ashtray. You then place a coin in the middle of the beer, light a match and place it horizontally on the coin. You take the empty glass and place it over the coin and match and within seconds, a vacuum will cause the beer to be sucked into the glass.

A similar trick is called Push the Glass. Here, you push a small glass through the handle of a beer mug without touching both glasses. For this, you will need small glass, a beer mug and a straw.

Once you put everything on the table, you take the straw and stick it through the handle of the beer mug and push the small glass with it. This enables you to push the small glass through the handle without touching either of the two.

The next trick is called the Olive Bridge. Here, you make the olive leap over a hurdle and into a whisky glass. For this to work, you will need an olive, a brandy glass, three whisky tumblers and a straw.

You set it up by placing the olive on the bar and the brandy glass nearby. Put two whisky glasses upside down six inches apart from the olive with the straw between the two like a hurdle. The third whisky glass should be placed another 6 inches away from the hurdle but this one should be with the opening facing up.

Now put the brandy glass upside down and over the olive. Hold the base of the brandy glass and start twirling it around as this will create a centrifugal force that will cause the olive to rise and spin around. Keep working on it as you are moving this over to the hurdle. Once it is over the hurdle, stop twirling and then drop the olive in.

The next trick is called the corker. Here, you are trying to get the cork out of a bottle without breaking the glass. For this, you will need a silk scarf, an empty wine bottle and a cork.

You place the cork into the bottle and then grab a scarf by holding it in two diagonally opposite corners. You guide the center of the scarf into the bottle without letting go of the corners. While you are holding the bottle horizontally, you can move the cork onto the side of the scarf loop that is formed and be able to pull out the cork without breaking the bottle.

There are other magic tricks you can do. You should just work on them so that with a little practice, you get the admiration of the audience rather than embarrassing yourself. So do some research and have some fun. After all, drinking alcohol is just one of the things you can do at a bar.

Simple Magic Tricks

Sphere: Related Content


There is nothing more entertaining to do at parties or gatherings than doing a number of simple magic tricks. There are a number of magic tricks that are fairly easy to learn. You do not need to have extraordinary talent to do such magic tricks for entertainment. All you will need is some time to read and understand the trick as well as to practice. Here are some simple magic tricks that you can try out:

The Non-Bursting Balloon
If you have ever seen magicians push a needle into a balloon only to amazingly see it still inflated and not bursting, this trick will give you in on the secret. For this simple magic trick, you will need an inflated balloon, a sharp pin long enough for your audience to see and a tiny piece of transparent adhesive tape. To prepare for this trick, you take a small piece of adhesive tape and place it somewhere in the part of the balloon where you wish to push the sharp pin into. Make sure to stick it so that it evenly adheres to the rubber surface of the balloon.

In doing this trick, try to tell your audience that you will attempt to insert a pin into an inflated balloon without letting it burst as what will usually happen. Take the inflated balloon in your hand and hold a sharp pin with the other. Slowly try to bring them together. As you do so, try to locate the area where you have placed a tiny piece of adhesive tape. Then try to gently insert the sharp pin into it.

Make sure that you do this carefully by rolling the pin as you try to insert it into the balloon. Slowly you will see the pin going through the balloon, incredibly without the balloon bursting.

The secret to this trick is that the adhesive tape holds together the rubber surface of the balloon even when the sharp pin is inserted through it and preventing it from tearing apart. What you get is a balloon with a hole but does not burst. In doing the trick, try to show the audience that you have successfully inserted a sharp pin into the balloon without bursting. But to let them know that you are using an ordinary pin.

Take it out slowly and then use it again to pierce the balloon and let it burst. You may need to do this before the balloon releases the air inside it which will obviously give your secret trick away.

Mysterious Coin Balance
Here is another simple trick that would surely amaze your audience but would require a bit of dexterity using your hands. You will need a large coin and then a straight pin to make this trick work. In order to do this trick, try to practice concealing the straight pin in one hand. With the other hand, try to take the large coin out of your pocket and show it to the audience.

Tell your audience that you will try to use your mind over matter abilities in order to make the large coin stand up between your fingertips. Allow the audience to take a closer look at the coin to convince them that it is just an ordinary coin. Or you can choose to use a coin from a volunteer.

Once you have the coin back, place it on top of your fingertips where you have concealed the straight pin. Now raise the coin to a standing position along with the straight pin. Do this while keeping the pin and the coin close together. Then slowly remove your hand from the coin and it will magically stand up, with the help of the straight pin that only you know is there.
