As you know by now, we here at Scam School pride ourselves on giving you only the very best bar scams. Today we break our streak, and instead present you with four stupid beer gags.
The Eye of Hercules: This one actually fools people, but it's so simple that most people write it off. To make it look you're opening a beer with your eye, remove the bottle cap and set it gently on top of the beer. Get the attention of your mark, place the bottle in your eye socket, and turn the beer as you mime opening the bottle with your eye. Here's the kicker, though: as you do this, make a hissing "Ssssss" sound with your mouth. If you get the sound and acting right, you'll actually fool them!
The Overflow: This is a gag everyone falls for exactly once. Again, if you're the first one to perform it on someone, you can be the jerk he'll remember forever. Just tap your full beer on the mouth of his full one...giving it a good rap but not breaking anything, and in 10 seconds, his beer will be overflowing with foam.
The Levitation: This gag seems to impress the performer more than the audience. By sticking your finger on the top and side of an inverted bottle, you can lift it up. Try it!
Stealing the Dollar: Again, this one's an entry-level gag, but one that everyone loves to play. Set the dollar underneath an inverted beer bottle, and explain that the mark can keep the dollar if he can get out from underneath the bottle without letting it tip over. No touching the bottle, no use of anything else. Once they give up, show that by carefully rolling the bill, you can push the bottle off the edge, and get away scott free.

Mister has now been drawn to this forum. I can confirm that is in fact Eileen's pic as her avatar and I *am* a lucky man.
The outtake is inexplicable. I could never repeat it in a hundred years. I honestly thought I had ruined the trick for a moment.
That episode was a blast to shoot. Cool bar in North Beach and any chance to hang out with Brian is always going to be a pleasure. Plus there was beer. In fact if it weren't for the broken camera at the beginning of the night it would have been a perfect evening. But that's a story for another day.

rabidbadger - You are very kind. Also, I don't think the Mr. is on these threads. But I've mentioned the nice comments he's received about the outtake.

Does that answer your question? I think watching Ray Stevens damaged my brain when I was a child. :D :D I really can't help myself with the "humorous" comments. :D

"Hey all -
I'm gonna attempt to bring this back on topic. There is a popSiren forum for those that want to talk about our lovely sister show. First of all, thanks for the positive remarks on the show. I, like Brian, was a little worried about the reception we were going to get.
And just to confirm (even though the information is out there on the internet), ghostwolf is correct and that person is me!
For me, Brian's laugh on the outtake gets me every time.
Thanks!

Yeah, I was wondering early on after a few eps if the premise was kinda limiting, if he could come up with enough bar-scams to sustain what the title, and his intro implys. But then I got to know him through the show, his youtubes and other vids, his interviews, his streams, these forums, and twitter, and I'm pretty sure he can. Especially if he intersperses the occasional show like this.
I came for the scams, and stayed for the host.
Ultimately, the name "Scam School" will be a brand that equals "The Brian Brushwood Show" at least here among rev3 fans. After that he can do anything he wants. If He runs out of clever scams 100 eps from now.
And is your Mr. on these threads? He cracks me up on BOL. And if your avatar is pic of you he is one LUCKY lucky man. ;)

I wanna see Dr. Kiki do her flaming hula hoop thing (as mentioned on TWIM a few weeks ago) after it's been set aflame by Brian Brushwood's spitting fireball...
