There’s nothing quite like taking advantage of the drunk, or the stupid, or the drunk and stupid. And these bets are, if not the best way to do that, at least one of the most amusing. Weird-trick extraordinaire Richard Wiseman is back with another collection of bets you can’t lose, and they’re just as technically-something-you-might-get-away-with as ever.
As clever as some of them are, they’re not exactly the kind of thing you’d want bring up to the burly, rowdy sportsfan in the corner. So please, consider restraining yourself to using them to con small children and simpletons into doing their (or your) chores. That’s a gold mine all its own. [Quirkology]
Remove an ice-cube with just a piece of thread...? Since when does thread plus salt equal just thread?
Since now :P
Yeah that one was a little dodgy, as was the last one. As if nobody would notice you're only using one hand even with their eyes closed. Or the thumb-in-the-fist trick...I mean you can clearly see the person's thumb when it's not inside the other hand...you'll need to be pretty drunk to not notice that.
