BETS YOU CAN'T LOSE

CAN'T WRITE A NUMBER?

The challenge: Bet you can't write this number down in ten seconds. It's less than one hundred thousand.

Ready?

Eleven thousand, eleven hundred and eleven.

How it works:
11,000 = Eleven thousand
1,100 = Eleven hundred
11 = Eleven
Total - 12,111 is the correct answer, although you could accept 11,000 1,100 11, but no one will be able to figure that one out in 10 seconds. You win!

THE FOLD

Challenge someone to fold a $20 dollar bill in half, doubling it each time, 8 times. Tell them that they can keep if it they can do it.

It's impossible.

You can't fold a piece of paper in half (doubling it), more than eight times. Not even something as thin as toilet paper, or as large as newspaper . . .

It's impossible.

Go ahead, try it.

THE FAST, FREE BEER

Don't try this one on someone that doesn't have a good sense of humor. Bet that you can drink three glasses of beer (or soda, whatever), before they can drink one shot glass of whatever. Explain the two rules carefully

1: You absolutely cannot touch the other's glass and they cannot touch yours.

2: You get a one beer head start and they cannot start drinking until after you set your first glass down on the bar. Tell them this is your warm-up.

The Secret: You drink your first beer and then set your empty glass upside down, over their shot glass. Tell the bartender to keep your third beer cold while you leisurely drink your second. Your victims can only stand and scratch their heads.

THE DIME IN THE GLASS
Submerge two high ball glasses in water so that they fill and place them top to top, with the water in them in front of you.

The Wager: That you can place a dime into the bottom glass without spilling a drop.
The Secret: This one is pretty easy. Take a spoon or knife (provided it's metal) and tap the side of the upper glass until it moves just enough to slip the edge of a dime between the two glasses. Then you gently tap the dime until it falls into the glass. The surface tension of the water will keep it from spilling.

A LIT MATCH WON'T BURN

Fire of course needs oxygen to burn. If you hold a lit match over a fresh glass of soda or beer, the carbon dioxide will snuff the match. Carbon dioxide is the gas that gives beverages it's "fizz" or carbonation. When these bubbles rise to the surface they are carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide will snuff a fire.

DROP THE LIGHT BULB

Tell someone that you can drop an ordinary light bulb onto a concrete floor and it won't break.

Sure, if you drop from only three inches.

Wrong.

Tell them that you can drop it from waist high, no problem.

The secret: Drop it with the metal end down. The metal absorbs the shock and the bulb will not break.

This is a great one to do in a garage or warehouse.

 

PICK A PUZZLE

Make five connected squares out of toothpicks as in the illustration below.

Challenge someone to remove only three toothpicks and leave three squares. The answer is in the second drawing.

THE LEVITATING CIGARETTE

Hold a pack of ordinary cigarettes up with one hand, make a few magic passes over it with the other hand and say a few appropriate magic words and watch your friends faces light up as a cigarette mysteriously rises from the pack.

The Secret: Before the trick is performed, a cigarette is placed between the cellophane and the pack, this is the side that faces you. Hold the pack slightly above eye level so that your audience can't see that the cigarette rises from the rear of the pack instead of from the inside. You make the cigarette rise with your thumb from the rear of the pack.

THE SECRET KNOT TIE

The challenge: To tie a knot in a piece of string that is being held at both ends without letting go of either end.

The secret: Lay the string or cord on a table. Then simply fold your arms, one above the other, right hand on upper left arm, left hand under upper right arm. With your arms thus folded, grasp one end of the string in each hand. Simply pull hands towards each other while maintaining your grasp on the string, and by the time your hands are separated, there will be a knot in the string.

TWO BOTTLES AND A BILL

Using two beer or soda bottles that are the same, place one of the bottles right side up near the edge of a table. Put a dollar bill on top of this one and center it. Then balance the second bottle on top of the first, sandwiching the bill between them. Now challenge your friends to remove the bill without touching the bottles.

Here's how: Grab the bill between thumb and forefinger and hold it straight out, just tight enough not to tip the bottles. Using one or two fingers of the other hand, strike down on the dollar bill as fast as you can, still maintaining your grip with the other hand. The bill will zip right out leaving the bottles without even a wobble.

Important! The bottles must be completely clean and dry for this to work. Practice a few times to make it look really easy.
