The Bic (shooting Bottle Cap) Party Trick
Quite a few years back during my party years I picked up this trick, I wowed fellow bar patrons with this trick opening corona beer bottles. Though nowadays usually just get to show off at family functions when my brother and his fiance bring weird imports without the twist off caps or my daughter buys her favorite soda. Just thought I pass this off to the younger 20's crowd, great icebreaker for picking up girls, do the trick and make up some story how you learned it, or be cool and tell them truth you learned it on instructables.com, works either way to get the dialogue started.
Simple trick when you don't have a bottle opener handy "The Bic Party Trick"
All that's needed is a Bic brand lighter because they have a flat edge on the bottom (other lighters generally don't work as well), Take the Bic with the bottom to the bottle, hold the bottle down on a flat surface, place the lighters bottom edge on one of the little crimped points on the cap, then with a hard and quick upward motion pop the cap off. Usually I can do it in 1 try but when the lighter starts getting chucked up like the one in the video it take a couple of tries.
What people get a kick out of about this trick is that cap really takes off when it pops, in fact because of my trick we've even create a beer cap shooting game where you have to use a bic and try to shoot your beers cap into something like a hat or basket and who ever gets it everyone in the party buys him or her the next beer or some other prize.
""""""""""""""""""""""""WARNING: Make sure you keep your hand as far up on the lighter as possible or you risk slipping and having the little points on the cap taking a small sliver of skin off your knuckle""""""""""""""
