Default Brian maybe a new scam idea...

You might have to alter this to work in a bar or whatever, it's just something fun to do for me. Maybe you could challenge to see who could get it done first for a drink or something.

Effect: You empty a bottle of water in 2 seconds, your friend takes about 10 or more. The bottles are not damaged.

Explanation: Let your friend try first. Tell them they can not damage the bottle in any way. That means you cant even smash it, then they have to try and empty it as fast as possible. After they take their nice time emptying it, it will be your turn. Take a straw, stick it in the bottle, and have the other end in your mouth. Put the bottle up-side down and blow through the straw, you will empty it in about 2 seconds.

I'm not sure if you can turn this into a scam, just something that I thought you might be able to work with.

When I'm emptying a bottle as fast as I can i whirl it so a small whirlpool starts in the bottle/can. Though this works best with a bottle with a round top it also works with beercans and such.

I recorded a quick video demostrating this. Sorry that you have to DL it, don't want to create a youtube account and there seems to be none good anonymous video upload... well anyway it just shows the concept. But I've won some bet with this...

Default turn it into a contest

I think this could work in a bar:

Setup: two bottles of beer and two pint glasses

Rules:
your opponent gets a head start to pour the beer into the pint. You can't start until their first drop hits the bottom.

Loser buys the round.

If you use a bendy straw you shouldn't get wethead.

The problem is that it does require you to get a straw in a beer, get it inverted and blow in it before he can get his poured. also, you might have to use flat beer so it doesn't foam over the glass.

I like where you guys are headed with this... Tell you what: if you guys actually start practicing this, and shape it into something workable, we can present it as the first scam fully written by a collaboration of the forum posters, and I'll put all your name in the credits!

That would be awesome, also to the guy before. You don't empty it into your face, you do it into a bucket or something. You use a bendy straw so u can have once side in your mouth and the other in the bottle (long side in the bottle). The bottle will point down, and your blowing down into the straw. Maybe I'll make a video of it or something, but the water will just fly out. I'm not sure how this could be used to be a scam though, maybe I can think of something.

I think "Do it under ___ seconds" would make the most sense. I don't know how long each takes but you would want some space in between two seconds and the limit cause it may take longer.

You could say three seconds, it wont take longer than that. I think this would be more of something you can do for fun more than a free drink. First of all, you would have to buy the bottle of water, and if your gunna buy a drink, just get the beer. Also, you would want a bucket or something to pour the drink into.

Just something I thought I would post. I was thinking maybe Brian could modify it to work as a free drink scam.

Ok, here I made a video of it. It's a lot faster than whirling it around like that, and of course, just pouring it out. [PS: YouTube always fucks up my quality, sorry if its bad]
