How To: Be Popular In Bars

The best way to be the popular guy in a bar is by impressing those around you with cool tricks. You won't need any props, besides those you'd find in a bar of course. But you will appear to be blessed with magical powers, extraordinary intellect and even the ability to read minds.
These tricks are time-tested, sure-fire ways to win drinks, amuse your friends and impress women.

The instructions are pretty simple: read them, remember them and then reap the rewards.

Matchstick magic
Like any good bar bet, this one starts off sounding impossible: bet that you can toss a paper match into the air and make it land on its side.
Note: this won't work with wooden matches.

Invite your audience to try it first. Unless they know the trick, they'll never be able to make it work.

When they've finished embarrassing themselves, take over and nail it on the first try. Of course there's a secret: you bend the match slightly.

Bar Bet Bonus: The match still works so use it to light a lady's cigarette. If she's a non-smoker, then light it anyway and blow it out.

It's a race!
When you're out with the boys, bet that you can drink 3 pints of beer before someone else can down three 1-ounce shots. The thing is, they have to give you a one-beer head start and neither of you can touch the other person's glasses.
Drink your first beer. When you're done, place your empty glass upside down over one of your opponent's shots. Now you can finish your other 2 beers at your leisure -- they're not allowed to touch your glass so that third shot won't be finished until you remove your glass.

Bar Bet Bonus: The loser buys the next round so pull this trick off just before it's your turn.

Switch drinks from one glass to the other or play a psychic?

Trading places
This one requires a bit of work but the pay off is cool.

The bet is that you will switch drinks from one glass to the other. Here's how:

Ask the bartender to fill a shot glass with water and another with a thick liqueur.

Take the liqueur shot and cover it with your driver's license. Carefully turn it upside down, and put it on top of the water shot, so that your driver's license is between the two glasses.

Very gently pull on your driver's license to create a very small opening between the two glasses. Because of a combination of gravity and density, the heavier liqueur will flow into the lower glass, forcing the water to flow up into the top glass.

Bar Bet Bonus: Give the shot to a beautiful lady. If you're out with your friends, bet them that if you can pull this off, the next round's on them.

Mind reading
This works best with a small group of friends, strangers or beautiful women.
Ask the bartender for a pile of napkins, an ice bucket and a pen. The bet is that you're going to take a quick survey, and then read someone's mind to get the answer.

Your survey can be about anything: who'll win the Super Bowl or the Oscar, what their favorite color is, who they think the greatest rock and roll band is, or anything else you can come up with.

Write each answer on separate napkins and put them into the ice bucket. Ask one person to draw one napkin and show the answer to everyone. Then close your eyes, concentrate and tell them the answer.

But how will you know? It's easy -- you wrote the same answer on every napkin.

Bar Bet Bonus: This trick allows you to make eye contact with each lady you try this on.

With these bar bets, you can have some fun with the guys or impress women with your charm.

Try one or two of these bar bets the next time you're out and see what happens. You'll definitely have some laughs and who knows what else might happen. Good luck and have fun!
