BOTTLE BUSTER!

The trick:

To break the bottom out of a
bottle with your hands.

When you know how, you can break the bottom out of a pop or beer bottle or even a wine bottle with your bare hands. Think about it, or if you want to set it up so that it looks even more impressive, you can actually drive a nail with the bottoms of some of the best known brands.

IMPORTANT--- DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS UNLESS YOU ARE WEARING A GLOVE ON THE "HOLDING" HAND, GOGGLES AND APPROPRIATE CLOTHING!

It is possible that the bottle could shatter. Not likely, but possible.

Please be careful.

The secret to breaking a bottle with
your bare hands is really pretty easy.

First you fill the bottle with water,
leaving about an inch of space at the
top. Then, grasping the bottle firmly (closer to the top), you hit it sharply with the palm of the other hand and watch as the entire bottom of the bottle bursts off!

IMPORTANT!!! Always perform this out
of doors or where no one will be
endangered by the glass bursting. It is
also a good idea to wear a glove on the
hand grasping the bottle, or to at least
use a towel or something to protect your
hands. While this trick is normally
safe, it IS possible for the entire
bottle to shatter after the bottom pops
off. Protect your hand with something.

It works best to grasp the bottle near
the base of the neck (higher than the picture shows). ALWAYS pick up the glass that breaks and dispose of it properly.

This is a very impressive trick that
requires a little practice to get it
right the first time. You must hit the
top of the bottle sharply with the upper
palm of the hand (see illustration). BE SURE YOU HIT THE BOTTLE TOP WITH THE FLESHY PART OF THE HAND. THE "WEB" OF PADDED FLESH BELOW AND FORWARD OF THE THUMB.

The bottle bottom breaks out because you are suddenly forcing and capturing air in the bottle creating a great deal of
pressure. You actually force air into
the bottle with your hand, and then for
just a split second, create a seal.

Because of this rapid increase of air
pressure, the bottle can't contain the
forces and breaks at it's weakest point,
the bottom.

If at first you don't succeed, give it a
little break. Don't bruise your hand.
And don't give away where you hit the
bottle on your hand. When others try
this, unless they are lucky enough to
hit it just right, they still won't be
able to do it!
