Olive In A Brandy Snifter

October 14, 2007

With this bet, all you need is an olive and a brandy snifter.

The objective is to get the olive into the snifter without touching the olive with any part of your body, rolling it off the bar or by scooping it into the snifter.

How to do the trick: Place the olive on the bar and then place the snifter over top of the olive so that it is completely covered. Slowly rotate the snifter around the olive until it starts to roll around the inside walls of the glass. As you begin to rotate the snifter faster and faster, the olive will move up higher in the glass. Once the olive has passed the middle of the snifter, quickly flip it over and place it on the bar with the olive inside. Now collect your winnings!

Be sure to practice this trick a few times before making a bet so that you master flipping the snifter over. When you first try it, the olive may fly out of the glass.
