LIGHTER BELOW THE BOTTLE - VARIATIONS
Speaker: Hi, and welcome to a video presentation from EastBarTricks.com. In this video I will show you some variations of the trick, lighter below the bottle, and the challenge is to remove the lighter without the bottle falling over, and we got another movie at our website explaining the original trick in detail, and in this video I will show you some variations on how you can take the lighter without the bottle falling over. But first I will show you the original way of doing it, and then I will show you three different variations.
Okay, the original way is like this. Put your index fingers behind the lighter, you measure up, 10- 15 centimeters and you pull your fingers very fast to watch yourself, like so. And that is how you can remove the lighter from underneath the bottle, and now I'll show you some variations.
The first variation that I will show you, is based in a technique where you snap your fingers. When you snap your fingers, your fingers get a very good speed, that is why it produce that snapping sound, and you can use that speed to remove the lighter. So what you will do is that, you will place your fingers behind the lighter, just a couple of centimeters or so, and then you will snap your fingers, like that, and the bottle will be standing perfectly upright. The speed from the snapping, remove the lighter so fast that it just fell straight to the table.
The second variation that I will show you is also based and the technique where you snap your fingers, instead this time you'll only use one hand instead of two, and this is by far the coolest way I think to remove the lighter. It looks like this. And as you can hear it also produces a dramatic sound. What happens is, that the lighter start rotating, and it hits the bottle after it's removed. One thing is, that when it does that, it can't unstabilize the bottle. So if you wanted to be more safe, you can just place a finger here, and that will make the lighter move away from the bottle, so we will have a movement going like this, away from the bottle. Alright, this is a very cool way I think to remove the bottle -- remove the lighter from underneath the bottle.
The last variation that I will show you is very simple, which is grab the lighter with your index finger and your thumb, and you remove it. Now this looks easy, but it's not easy at all. Actually, this the hardest way, I can only do it, because I have practiced it a lot. If anyone else tries this, without having practiced at all, then chances are that the bottle will fall over. It's just to give you some safety that this not a bad bet. There might be several ways that you can take the lighter, but it doesn't mean that anyone will fickle them out, it's seems obvious, and neither they have presented to you and with instructions, but go out and perform it anywhere, people won't be able to take the lighter without the bottle falling over.
I'll just explain to you in a little more detail how to do it this way. You grab it, with your index and your thumb, and you push down. It helps to push down against the table a little bit, and then you push the lighter in a fast motion away for yourself, like so. Actually I am kind of glad, that the bottle fell over there, because it shows that it's not easy at all. This is the hardest way to take it, even though it looks as if it's the easiest one. I'll do it again, like so. So as you can see, chances are that the bottle will fall over, but I still wanted to present this variation to you. Practice it and use it, if you like it, and those were the three variations of lighter below the bottle. Have fun with it and go out and perform this beautiful trick.
