Blimey. Always good to have a Plan B...

Is it photoshopped or genuine?

 

[Yellow Fang]

That's a good party trick.

Rich P - would it work with a boot, hay I'll find out?

 

[Hover Fly]

It's genuine, the shock wave is transmitted through the wine and literally hammers the cork out from the inside. The shoe stops the bottle breaking on the wall.

I'm going to give it a go later and I'll pass on the result. I'll not use the expensive Chateau Lafitte though

Another of those things they fail to teach at university!

I have removed a cork by smacking the bottom of the bottle (like he demonstrated at first). Obviously wrong.

Two of us took turns to hit the bottom of the bottle with the heel of our hand. The cork was removed - but next day you are sure that your hand was run over by a bus.

Screw top anyone?

I'm going to have to splash out on some of those 2 for £5 bottles of wine at the corner shop sometime...hahaha. They have corks.

Saw that done on a tv show this week, thought that it was a trick!
I'll be getting a bottle of concorde to try that tonoight!

 

[Hover Fly]

It's an old trick, often used in the perpetuation of frauds. One of the reasons that if you are in a restaurant the waiter should remove the foil cap at your table.

Have you tried it yet?

Have you tried it yet?

It's a bit early even for me Longers

I had heard of this trick, but never seen it done - impressive, but I don't think the missus will like the heel marks on the walls...

 

[Dayvo]

I bet the first attempt ended up all over his white carpet!
