How to Stick Your Friends to the Bar
This clever trick uses a pint of beer and two willing thumbs to handcuff your friend (or enemy) to the bar, while you take his keys, wallet, girlfriend and more.

Secret: Have your friend order a pint of his favorite drink. The more expensive the drink, the better. Make sure the pint glass is filled all the way to the top. Ask your friend to put his thumbs on the edge of the bar (as pictured). Now, carefully set the full pint of drink on top of his thumbs. Tell him it's important that he balance it perfectly.

Now, get out of there! With his favorite drink precariously balanced on his thumbs, he has no possible way of chasing after you! You could probably take his wallet, his keys, or whatever else you want, while you're at it! Useful for quick getaways.

Aw, another one from the book? I'm eagerly awaiting the "good" ones (aka the ones you haven't already taught me) like the Jack-o-lantern and blockhead. And I'm going to try to find that book you mentioned in the itricks interview.

Edit: Not knocking the episode as a whole, though. It's always nice to see some dillhole get glued to the bar. I'll definitely be using this in a few weeks at my alumni weekend. Some of the old fraternity brothers can be a bit obnoxious after a few pints...
Reedit: Just listened to the itricks interview again to try to get the name of that book... and it wasn't in there! Must have been in the Magic Newswire one...

Is this show going to stay at about the 5 minute mark once a week?

I envy and pity you. I want to buy the book, but I enjoy learning this stuff on Rev3 for the first time. But that book must be amazing if it's got all this stuff and more.

Doesn't have the human chimney, but it does have all the other tricks we've seen since (in fact, I noticed the description of this vid just quoted the book, thus the "as pictured"). They're better described in the videos, of course, but I'm thirsty for something new, preferably something that will blow peoples' minds.

Loving it, man. Keep it up. Most natural "host" of any show on Rev3.

This is way too short for a weekly show. Awesome trick, but I would expect something so short and to the point in a daily.
