works like a charm - still practicing but opened about 20-30 bottles that way. :-)

There's just a problem: The foam-over... This happens every time, and I can imagine people not being happy about it (and I do make a mess too...)

Any sugestions? Or should I just practice more and more?

[MangoMyers]

Hmmm, I get foam over maybe once every 5 or 6 times I try this. It's definitely something to avoid, if possible, because guests do not appreciate seeing half their beer foam out. The only advice I have, other than practice of course, is be sure not to shake or jar the bottle at all before you open it or, as that will def foam it more. People have a tendency to move the bottle as they're opening it - you really just want to move the opener. And keep it pointed straight up.

i hit a lady on the head from about 5 yards down the bar. she was not pleased.

[MangoMyers]

Grrrr... like I said more than once in the video - Practice this one a ton at home! Some guests that really got a kick out of this move, I would once in a while play a game with them to see if they could catch the cap, which they thought was fun. However, hitting someone unsuspecting is never acceptable! Please, practice this one more. It does a disservice to the flair community if patrons leave your bar upset about some aspect of your flair. Be a good ambassador of flair!

@shronked

Beer have to be more cold maybee ?

If beer is cold usually its not foaming if it wasnt shaked or somthing like this.

Good Luck

would NOT use a Coors Light...have tried approx 30 beers (different brands) and everytime a coors light will get sheared like the top was cut off cleanly. idk its not due to no practicing...

perfect trick for anyone!

[dlughie]

you speak way too much, I got frustrated waiting for the magic, so i fast forward, and never see you open one and got disappointed. I just needed the 10 seconds you open the beer. Other than that thanks for the long-winded instruction.

Hey Mango, do you know of any flair bartending schools near Minnesota??

[adam1au]

we pop it off and while it is falling in the air we smack the cap at each other

@shronked

You should open any other bottles than beer, coz they don't foam over ;) Like Bacardi Breezer, Smirnoff Ice ect.
