Little Tricks to Amuse Your Friends and the Kids

Some tricks you can do with a bottle of soft drink.

Do you want to get the attention of your friends, co-workers, and the kids? Learn a few tricks using a bottle of soft drink to do so. Bottles of soft drinks are often used for a variety of parlor games. It is also use in playing truth and consequence and many others. Amuse your friends and most especially the kids with these simple tricks. You can do these in the canteen, at the office, at school, at home and anywhere else.

  1. Lifting a bottle using a straw only

    To perform this, we need an empty bottle of soft drink and a straw.



    Challenge anyone to lift the empty bottle of soft drink using the straw without tying or holding it. Here's how to do it. (See photo below) Fold one end of the straw about an inch and insert it to the bottle slowly.





    The folded straw served as a hook enabling it to lift the bottle. After lifting the bottle, you can actually swing the bottle to the left and to the right or back and forth. You can perfect this trick by regularly practicing it.

  2. Adding a spoonful of water to a water-filled soft drink bottle

    In doing this trick, we'll be needing a water-filled bottle of soft drink, a spoon, a piece of paper and water.



    Challenge anyone to add a teaspoon of water on the water-filled bottle without spilling. Of course, they will wonder where to put the additional water because the bottle is already filled. Here's how to do this simple but amazing trick. Place the piece of paper on the mouth of the bottle.



    Turn the bottle upside down. The water content of the bottle won't spill/leak because the piece of paper serves as stopper.



    Now, you can add a teaspoon of water in the bottle.

  3. Soft drink drinking contest using two straws



    Challenge anyone to drink using two straws - one straw inside the bottle and the other on the outside. Bet a thousand dollar for a challenger who can drink or at least reduce the content of the bottle.

During recess, break time, party time are perfect times to execute these tricks. Hope you enjoyed these simple treat of tricks!
