    No, this isnt a recession thread (shocker!), just a simple question,
    Whats your party trick??

    Mine is being able to tie a shoe-lace with one hand (always a massive hit with the ladies :D)
    So have you got one?? :)

    I do the same trick and likewise it's a massive hit with the ladies .... although I use my tongue.

    Em.. I can touch my nose with my tongue..and that's bout it!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,160 ✭✭✭Kimono-Girl


    i can wrap my leg around my head....people seem to appreciate the trick more when im wearing a dress to the party though :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,070 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    I can turn my eye-lids inside out..

    not so much of a hit with the ladies!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,128 ✭✭✭✭Oranage2


    I just tell people I'm Oranage2 off Boards.ie.............This usually leaves girls standing in puddles!







    My real party trick is getting incredibly drunk and smashing up the place - Not such a hit with the ladies or anyone for tht matter

    Put the tips of my two index fingers together then move them in circles in opposite directions...doesn't sound too impressive till you try it.

    Not really a party trick but I can crack the bones in my ear. I'm probably not cracking the actual bones but sure sounds like it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,976 ✭✭✭Brendog


    when ever a girl asks me for a light I drop my pants and light a fart in front of her.


    Its always a big hit, and a great way to get free cigs

    I learned a few bar tricks from magicians and bartenders in NYC, my usual one is the three straw pickup which I can't find a video for but here's a similar concept: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qf8V2JeERJ0 The actual trick can be seen in the movie Zodiac done by Robert Downey Jr in a bar scene if you've ever seen it.

    You make a wigwam out of two melted-together straws and another resting on the two in a tripod shape, you then place the straw in your hand behind the single, unmelted straw, which is placed away from you, and blow the straw stack - this collapses the straws away from you and the single straw slides underneath the two straws.. you know, I really can't explain it, but if we ever meet in a bar, ask me to do it for ya!

    Aww- here was me thinking i could add something else to my list of one!
    It's not a trick if everyone can do it.

    Doubt it, you probably think you're doing it but you're really just moving them in the same direction although not at the same time.
    Point your fingers towards each other around a foot out from your neck, then move your right (or left, whatever you feel like) outwards from you and make a circle round to the same point. At the same time move your other hand inwards and make a circle again round to the same point. Keep doing it over and over again.

    Sounds easy, and you'll probably think you've got it but more than likely you'll notice your hands are moving in the same direction (one hand above and one at the bottom, opposite sides of the circle).

    I can do it by the way, but I'm super deluxe awesome (at least that's what mammy says).

    It's still easy :confused:
    like the pat your head/circle your tummy one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,163 ✭✭✭✭danniemcq


    can wiggle my ears and nose,

    but the one that gets the shock is smashing a tin of beans on my finger. It's wile loud and looks wile painful but there is a trick to it.

    smash the can down on a hard surface but do it in the way that the can lands sideways (better way is look at the way cans buckle when damaged and use it that way

    Here I am, me and my dad, Manchester derby on the telly and my eyes are on the laptop, making funny circles with my hands and patting my head and rubbing my belly.

    He keeps giving me that same look I've gotten for years..."He's not right":(

    I put lit matches in mouth.
    Light a match, stick it in your mouth and quickly close your lips (with the unlit end sticking out like the end of a lollipop). Flame goes out due to lack of oxygen before you start to burn. Then exhale through your nose and the smoke goes out your nostrils.

    Disclaimer - if you get hurt trying this dont blame me...you're the one putting fire into your mouth:D

    Is it any wonder accident and emergency is busy on a Saturday night.:rolleyes:

    Hmmm -- really tempted to try it but im afraid of going around with a big black burn on my lip if i do it wrong :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,494 ✭✭✭Leelaa22


    I dont have a trick but I always try to do the tie the cherry stem in a knot trick. And I end up swallowing the stem or choking on it. :(
    Can anyone really do that?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 371 ✭✭Seosaimh77


    the only time i injured myself doing it was when I was way too drunk and closed my lips too early, so I really just stabbed my face with a lit match that time

    You guys should try the smoke waterfall!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 452 ✭✭Diapason


    I knew a particularly hot barmaid in Chicago who could do the cherry thing, but having attempted it myself I came to the conclusion that she had a tied one stashed in there already.

    My party piece? Demonstrating the answer to the eternal question: "What is the sound of one hand clapping?"

    Where you take the stem of a cherry and tie it in a knot using just your tongue, Rachel from Firends tried to do it, to inpress Joshua and also ended up choking

    I have an incredibly hard punch.

    One drive in the guts from me and you are staying down for at least 35-45 minutes.

    Most girls don't appreciate me showing them this feat.

    I don't get invited to parties any more.




    That is all
