April 1 was created to fool around a bit. On this day, even top managers clad in the armor of corporate ethics are happy to find a sticker on their back with the inscription “Kick me”. True, this year April 1 happily fell on Sunday, so you will have to entertain mainly your loved ones. the site offers P 10 tricks and tricks with which you can grab the attention of those present or even earn a couple of big bills by making stupid bets.

1. Metabolism P

Pour whiskey or cognac into one glass and plain water into the other. Argue with someone that you can change places in the glasses without using a third container, or a straw, or even your mouth. Having made a bet of five hundred rubles, take a plastic card (laminated driver's license, discount card, etc.) from your pocket and cover a glass of water with it. Now turn it over and place it on the second one so that the card is between them. It remains only to slightly move the card to the side so that the liquids are combined along the very edge of the glasses. You can sit back and watch the whiskey go into the top glass and the money into your pocket.

Secret: pure physics. Water is heavier than whiskey, its specific gravity is higher, so it simply displaces the whiskey upward. Do not take vodka for focus, it is transparent. Well, maybe after and for the money won.

2. Fortune telling by numbers P

Give your friends a notebook and ask them to write 4 four-digit numbers. Let them write in turn. After that, take the notebook back and ask the fifth friend to calculate the sum of the written numbers. He loudly announces the result, you pull a piece of paper out of your pocket, and everyone sees on it the same number that you just heard.

Secret: while carrying the notebook to the fifth, simply turn the page of the notebook. The next one contains the numbers you need. Put the answer sheet in your pocket ahead of time and practice four different handwriting. If the focus has to be shown in a bar or restaurant, the attention of drinking companions can be distracted by trying to take time off to go to the toilet in the middle of the focus, and while yelling at you, turn the page.

3. Guess the cardP

You will need a deck of cards here. Give it to someone, let him shuffle it well. Count five cards from the top of the deck and give them to your counterpart. Let him choose one, remember and shuffle these five cards as he pleases. Get them back, place them on top of the deck, place your hands under the table and place five cards on top of it. Ask if that card is here. If there is, poke your finger into the correct one. If not, lay out five more cards, and more until the answer is yes. Repeat the finger-pointing operation. P

Secret: Since the intended card is in the top five, you draw cards under the table in this order: three on the bottom, one on top, one on the bottom. Thus, in the laid out five, the intended card can only be the fourth.

4. Human Calculator P

Ask two people to write two ten-digit numbers on a piece of paper. Return the piece of paper to yourself, write down your ten-digit number and instantly write the sum of all three numbers. Moreover, the correct one.

Secret: each digit of your number must add 9 to the corresponding digit of the first P of the already written numbers. Thus, three ten-digit numbers become two, one of which is entirely nines. After that, the result is ready instantly, you just need to rewrite the second number, putting one in front of it and subtracting one from the last digit. If someone especially gifted starts one of the numbers with a nine, assign your number to another. If both start with nine and go to the monastery, this world is clearly against you.

5. Steel grip P

Promise to squeeze the empty glass bottle so hard that air starts to come out of it. After making sure that everyone has taken a bite, or at least ready to see something interesting, take a coin, wet it with anything and place it on the neck of the bottle instead of a cork. Grasp the bottle with both palms and begin to push and roll your eyes ominously. In a minute or two, the coin will start bouncing on the neck of the bottle. Air is coming out! P

Secret: a wet coin seals the bottle, and with your hands you heat the air in it so that it expands and starts to come out. The palms can be rubbed artistically before performing the trick.

6. Egg in a bottle. P

Despite the name, this trick is quite humane. Argue with someone that you can shove a boiled, unpeeled egg into a bottle without breaking both items. Choose an egg without cracks, and take a bottle with a wide neck, such as a Soviet milk bottle. The egg, however, should obviously not go through.

Now just throw a burning paper string or five matches into the bottle. As soon as it burns out, place the egg on the neck of the bottle. He will be sucked inside! P

Secret: atmospheric pressure, what are the secrets here.

7. Sticky Flower P

Take a flower in your hand and hold it in your fist. Grasp your wrist with your other hand and slowly unclench your fist. The rose does not fall. A crowd of especially quick-witted people will immediately yell that, they say, "button accordion" and that you are holding the flower with your index finger. They asked for it themselves. Take your hand off your wrist the flower still doesn't fall! P

Secret: press the stem of the flower with a pen or pencil tucked under the watch bracelet.

8. Inappropriate question P

This is a masculine focus. It is considered indecent to ask a girl about her age. No need to ask. Ask her to multiply her age by 7 and the result by 1443. Then, instantly name her age. P

Secret: in the resulting number, the girl's age will be repeated three times in a row. For example, 21 * 7 * 1443 = 212121. If the girl is less than ten years old, the trick will not work, and in general, in this case, you are extremely suspicious of us.

9. Paratrooper Day

Smash an empty champagne bottle with your fist? Lighter than easy. Swing and hit. Those present can collect jaws from the floor and shake them on a mustache, which is not worth quarreling with you. The trick looks especially impressive in the performance of a fragile girl in leather gloves (so as not to cut her hands).

Secret: The focus requires preparation. Take two champagne bottles and carefully peel off the stickers. Put the bottles P into the fire and when one of them bursts from the heat, take out the other. Now it is in the right condition, because it is completely covered in microcracks. Wash it off the carbon and reattach the labels. The props are ready. A bottle prepared in this way will break even with a slight blow to the side.

10. Wave without looking P

Place seven cards on the table and ask someone to guess one of them. Now take the cards, put your hands behind your back and say that you will now remove the card of his choice. When placing six cards on the table, the subject will be very surprised not to find his own among them.

Secret: prepare a pack of seven cards and six. When you get your hands behind your back, just change the packs. Naturally, the hidden card will not be in the new pack. And who remembered the rest? The focus will turn out with a greater guarantee, if you do not take the "pictures" .P

11. "Do you want me to guess your name?" P

We already guessed the age of the girl, it remains to guess the name (it is possible in the morning). Ask her to write her name in the center of the piece of paper and fold it in four (piece of paper). Then ask if she wrote the full name or diminutive. Whatever the girl replies, say that it is necessary the other way around and tear the paper. While she is rewriting, go to the bathroom, and when you return, sprinkle cigarette ash on your palm and blow it off. Oh, miracle! The girl's name is clearly imprinted on your palm!

Secret: When ripping open the folded paper, hold the center corner in the palm of your hand. With him and go to the bathroom. Expand, read the name (Flura, hmm). Write the name on the palm of your hand with liquid soap and return to the girl with a cigarette in her teeth. Yes, if you do not smoke, the ashes from aromatic "stinks" will do.

Bottles smashed on the heads of movie characters in imported and Russian blockbusters and TV series look very impressive. How? Break the bottle over your head? Its cool! The impressionable viewer, having seen enough of these heroic deeds, immediately tries to repeat these feats at home, so to speak, with his own hands (more precisely, with his head)! And only having suffered a fiasco one or several times, he begins to look for instructions and recommendations on this moment in informative sources. Our article is also devoted to the question of how to break a bottle on the head correctly.

Cautions

Let's make a reservation right away: we do not advise anyone without proper experience to repeat such actions, especially in a drunken state, when the sea is knee-deep. Without stunt skills, you run the risk of at least getting yourself a bump. To the maximum - receive a concussion as a gift, as well as ruptures of skin tissues on the head. After that, you will have to be treated for months, spending a lot of money on the purchase of drugs. So think carefully before hitting yourself in the head with a bottle!

Bottle on the head (Airborne forces give a master class)

If, for some reason, you firmly decided to carry out your plan (to prove your coolness to your friends or to win your friend's heart in this way), you can take a master class from those who served in the Airborne Forces (who does not know, the airborne troops). After all, hitting your head with a bottle is a favorite pastime of the paratroopers when celebrating the day of the same name (along with swimming in fountains and hitting expensive cars). In how to break a bottle on your head, training and one little trick is important. It is imperative to hit with a bottle in the middle of the forehead bone. Here is the most durable place of the skull, and with certain skills, breaking a beer bottle, for example, is not difficult.

Workout

Wondering how to break a bottle on your head? Start exercising in a thin knitted hat to reduce pain at first. Then the cap can be removed and broken without a shock absorber. Yes, the bottle must be taken empty, after drinking (or pouring) all the contents from it. Otherwise, a full sealed container may not break, but it will certainly cause injury to your body! So, the technique of the Airborne Forces is simple: to beat with an empty bottle in the middle of the frontal, most durable, bone. In this case, you need not be afraid, because from fear you can jerk your hands and get into the temple or the area of ​​the nose, which is undesirable and can lead to dissection of the soft tissues of the skull.

Amateurs' tricks

How to break a bottle over your head in a more gentle way? To do this, put an iron ruble or a pebble with sharp edges in an empty container. We begin to shake and do it for at least a couple of hours. During this time, the empty bottle will be covered with microcracks inside, which will not be visible to spectators who have gathered to look at your experiment.

Another way was invented by real magicians. Actually, apart from the laws of physics, there is nothing complicated about it. The label is peeling off the empty bottle (try to do this as carefully as possible). Then the dishes need to be calcined for a while over the fire and cool sharply. Next, we stick the label in its place. As a result of the manipulations performed, the bottle significantly loses its strength, retaining its previous shape.

How they do it in the movies

In fact, another little trick is used in movies - special bottles molded from sugar. They remain transparent and look like glass, but break very easily. So, before you hit the bottle on your head, remember this trick and do not cripple yourself in vain!

We only make a choice once. We choose to be a warrior or to be an ordinary person. There is simply no other choice. Not on this earth.

It turns out that at least a thousand times a month people ask search engines - "how to break a bottle on your head?"

That is, it turns out that every day this wonderful question is asked by at least thirty people a day. And it’s just you, dear reader, who crossed over on a direct request “how to break a bottle on your head” and this article was written - how can it be correct and safe to break a bottle on your head and emotionally, so to speak, amaze yourself and others.

In the general case, we can say that this is a senseless, useless and traumatic skill - well, why and under what conditions might the same paratrooper need it? Probably only for one practically improbable case - a collision with a paratrooper in the desert, for example - when one of them had a glass bottle at hand. Then yes - this skill may turn out to be more important than ever - to break a bottle on your head and get a ready-made cutting weapon (popularly called -.) Although on the other hand, breaking a bottle in the desert is somehow also rash - especially if it is filled with water.

And of course, the main issue of "bottle breaking" will be considered - why do bottles break at once and with spectacular splashes of fragments, while ordinary people usually get only a dull and unpleasant sound of an empty bottle hitting their heads?

For a start, I think it's worth looking at all these bottle breaking by both paratroopers and ordinary people.

As you can see, the paratroopers are the best at breaking bottles.

And especially good - at a variety of demonstration performances.

It's just that the paratroopers break bottles on their heads - also pretty quickly.

The paratrooper also breaks three bottles in a row - although he doesn't seem to hit so hard - and why are they all persistently putting on their beret?

A drunken paratrooper - quite confidently breaks a beer bottle - we can say an experiment on the possibility of breaking bottles in its purest form.

Novice paratroopers - at the beginning it is unsuccessful, but then it still turns out.

Breaking bottles in America - people also get carried away and learn best practices

Even the girls try - but probably the bottles are real - they grab their heads like this for real.

But the funniest thing of course is how ordinary people do it. (Only this "glass sound" of an empty bottle hitting the forehead is heard. But some still manage to break it sometimes.) Moreover, "bottle breakers" can be conditionally divided into two large groups: curious and drunk. But they are trying.

People drank beer and decided to experiment, but preliminary preparation and training is needed - if you just try - only a "glass sound" - but it can be seen as a person, it still hurts quite a bit.

Another funny video - a man stubbornly tries to break the bottle on his head - but it turns out to be actually not so easy - just a "glass ringing".

People also experiment with breaking a bottle on their own forehead - but a person only fills a lump.

A more successful attempt to break a bottle on the head - and so people experiment.

Girls breaking bottles on the head on the day of the Airborne Forces

And it seems - "smashing a bottle with your head" is the same obsession as - you can put a light bulb in your mouth and then pull it out - every eccentric can't wait to test it for himself. (A lot of people are also checking - can you stick out the light bulb or not?)

In general, horror - breaking a bottle of champagne - in the first case did not work out and I believe it - such a "glass" sound of an empty bottle.

In the second: the first time, a bottle of champagne - to smithereens - anything can happen, but most likely it's just a trick - it's obvious that you can't break it after all.

Moreover, as it turns out, the topic of breaking bottles on the head is quite popular on the YouTube channel - people make various videos - the most comic moments that arise in the process of breaking bottles on the head. (Which, accordingly, negates all the pathos of the bottle-breaking situation - not everyone succeeds in being similar to the paratroopers. In general, the plot is unpretentious = idiots or drunks bathe themselves on the head with bottles - the audience laughs - and it's funny at all there is no delight and admiration for the actions of these really brave people in some way - they turn everything into a circus.

So how do you learn how to effectively break bottles:

First, you need to ask yourself - why do I need this - for self-improvement or in order to surprise others. Which, accordingly, suggests two fundamentally different approaches to breaking a bottle. But in any case - breaking a bottle is still some kind of trick - to a greater or lesser extent.

No offense to the paratroopers, be told, but often in an effort to demonstrate their toughness, they resort to spectacular, but still tricks. Let us examine one of them - namely, beating alcohol bottles on the head.

For the airborne forces? Or against?

Presumably, the founder of the airborne forces, Vasily Margelov, who died in March 1990, did a good job in a coffin, looking from other spheres at the eccentricities of his followers. Why the hell, tell me, makes the owners of blue berets from year to year break bricks with the edge of their palm, causing themselves injuries. Or tell me honestly: how many people who have served in the Airborne Forces stuff the edge of their palm on a hard surface, as is required for such a focus? By the way, we'll talk about the brick as soon as we deal with the notorious bottle. So let's start, perhaps.

Let's say right away that you can break the bottle on your head. The most common one, made at the factory. And for this you do not need a "cast-iron" forehead - the most ordinary is enough. You just need to know the laws of physics and be able to apply them for a specific case. Many bottles are made by welding a glass sheet and then shaping. This seam is the weak point. Almost any glass container is scattered along it in the first row. And it seems to the viewers that the die-hard "vedeveshnik" simply banged the first bottle that came across his skull.

The main secret is to see the seam on it. And after all, they were looking for, despite all the efforts of the master glassblowers. But more often than not, of course, the trick is prepared in advance. There are cases when the gallant paratroopers agreed that the chosen drink should be served to them in a bottle of their own choice in advance. If this is not possible, then you need to tune in and apply a container just above the cockade of the beret. There (under the beret, of course), there is the thickest frontal bone in the entire skull, against which you can somehow knock a not too thick bottle. For example, from under mineral water or (which is almost the same) beer "Zhigulevskoe". Such are the things ...

It remains only to decide: a warrior performing such miracles works for the glory of the army, or is it about them they say that "The more oaks in the army ..."

How not to cut yourself?

Such an outcome is quite possible. In 1996, on the Day of the Airborne Forces in Tashkent, an ambulance hospitalized three former paratroopers with head and eye sockets wounds. The poor lads banged themselves on the head with vodka bottles. We managed to break it - but only the hand with the resulting "rose" went lower.

They say that the older comrades (those who served in the airborne troops long before our heroes) laughed for a long time. It turns out that the signature trick of seasoned sensei is simple. Take a bottle, put a weighty pebble or coin inside, and meditate. I mean, shake the bottle for an hour or more. What's the point? And the fact that the glass during this time is covered with microcracks. The bottle will fly over them "as if by notes."

Another option is to heat the bottle well in the oven. It is also possible on the burner - but there the hearth is too localized and for uniform heating it will be necessary to turn the bottle back and forth. Then we put it in cold water. From such treatment, the bottle will be covered with cracks, along which it will fly apart when it hits the head. The main thing is to close your eyes so that the debris does not get into your eyes. The audience, who has come to enjoy your prowess, will not see cracks.

By the way, the paratroopers are rumored to have spied on this trick from the karatekas. Brave followers of the Eastern sensei before the competition heated up the bricks and threw them into the snow or cold water. As a result, debris effectively scattered around the gym is obtained without much effort. Note in parentheses that with boards such a number is much more difficult to perform. Not only do they need to be carefully filed, but it is also necessary to mask the incision site. Therefore, putty from sawdust, gypsum and paint is used, which still needs to be selected clearly to the color of the wood. I never believed in such "cheating" if I had not heard about it from a man who had worked as a karate-do trainer for many years.

The circus! The circus! The circus!

And finally, we will give a very cheating way to impress others. More precisely, a circus, which was used by wandering artists more than once in front of the author's eyes. Take clay, bottle and sugar syrup. Probably, there is no need to talk about how to make a mold for casting - our ancestors knew this at the dawn of the Copper Age. A bottle of frozen syrup looks no different from a glass bottle. And if there are differences, they are again not visible to the audience. Such a lollipop can not only be smashed on the head with chic, but also eaten with gusto. The main thing is not to forget to stick the desired label. In general, a trick with the appropriate entourage turns out to be spectacular and as safe as possible for the performer.

By the way, the Terminator of all times and peoples - the actor Schwarzenegger - flew out through a similar candy glass, depicting a shop window of a department store. In general, if you really itch, then you can do figured casting on sugar syrup.

So it's just right to repeat after the hero of the famous film: "They're making a fool of our brother, oh, they're making a fool! .." And last but not least, there is a tragicomic incident told by the author's former chief, a retired lieutenant colonel of the Airborne Forces. If anyone remembers, in the early and mid-90s of the last century, a sea of ​​poured fake alcohol appeared on the markets. They were the "blue berets" and washed the next anniversary of the Airborne Forces. When the brave guys reached the required condition, one of them performed the trick “head + bottle =…?”. Whether the container was fake is unknown, but it successfully crashed. But the second contender for the record (or is it for the Darwin Prize?) Was not lucky. The bottle with a long neck, which fits so comfortably in the palm, turned out to be from under the real French cognac spirit. Blow, another blow, swing ... no, there is something wrong! The bourgeois glass containers did not succumb to the forehead of our soldier. And if so, then well, her to such and such a mother. Against her wall, infection, against the wall! Only this did not bring the expected result with a hail of debris. As it turned out later, it was these bottles that were produced from safety glass. Thus, the manufacturer insured its products against damage during transportation.
