Bar Trick - Balance glass on dime face - HOW?

posted 17 years ago by dropofahat

In one episode, The Good Doctor taught an annoying guy (who Steve-O almost gave up on because he disliked him so much) how to do a bar trick where you balance a tilted glass on the face of a dime. (And then made him do it in a lesbian bar.)

Does anyone know how to do this? I guess there's a sweet spot on the dime where if you put the edge of the glass just right it'll stay - or is it a trick? (Meaning, is there some other "secret" element that they didn't mention?) I've been trying, but no luck so far.

Anyone? I want to do this!

Huh? What the f? How am I a wuss for not being able to do it? Its not like someone showed me up close, and I still can't figure it out. We saw it from a distance, and they didn't really show Steve-o explaining it to him. I just want to know if there's a particular spot on the dime that I should focus on.

I hope you were kidding (I know, the show is about de-wussifying guys). If not, F U.

yea stop being such a wuss

[–] stephular 17 years ago

Same way they do the rock balancing, only instead of using pebbles or sand, since Steve-O was in a bar, I'd presume he used salt.

That's exactly why I was asking if there was a gimmick or something. (I'm SURE it's not superglue.)

Still not sure I understand why anyone would think I'm a wuss for asking that...

ok heres a step by step on how to do it.

Step 1: Get a glass

Step2: Get a dime

Step 3: Stop being a wuss!!!

[–] dropofahat 16 years ago

F all of you guys. Like you were born knowing how to do this trick... I tried a few times, couldn't quite get it, so I thought I'd find out if there was a secret to it (like salt, which I thought of) before I wasted my time trying to do it for real. THAT makes me a wuss? F you. Maybe someone showed you the secret or the "sweet spot"; maybe you all have way more free time than me; or maybe you're just really great at balancing stuff. Either way, it doesn't make me a "wuss" for not figuring it out right away, on my own.

I thought maybe someone might be helpful - most weren't, you were too busy being unoriginal and repeating the same silly insult. It was kind of funny the first time, not so much after that.

People seriously need to grow up, why would he be a wuss for not being able to that trick... I bet that 90% of the people that said it cant do it themselves...

The cake is a lie....

the way i look at it, the first time he was called wuss, it was a joke, but then his responses kinda made the joke turn into truth.

only a wuss would cry about someone on IMDB calling him a wuss.

and, if you havent caught on yet, STEVEO CALLS EVERYONE A WUSS WHO CANT DO WHAT HE ASKS, ITS A CATCH PHRASE OF THE SHOW, MORON, SO, F YOU INSTEAD SIR.

[–] dropofahat 16 years ago

I said I thought the first guy was joking, and that I KNEW it was part of the show to call people a wuss; I also said I would understand being called that if someone showed me and told me how to do it and I STILL couldn't (of course they DIDN'T show or explain to the audience how to do it, so I still wanted to know. Do YOU, freefalkor, know exactly how to do this trick without being shown or told? I didn't think so.) Then I simply asked, all joking aside, if anyone knew the real "secret", if there is one.

My responses cannot at any point, by any stretch of the imagination, be called "crying". I was angry, and puzzled why someone wouldn't at least give me a decent answer. I guess no one on here wants to be helpful (either that or no one wants to admit they don't know how to do it, at the risk of being called a wuss).

Why would that response trigger an onslaught of increasingly unoriginal insults? I know, I know, because I'm a wuss, very funny, very original...

IDK WTF you talking about, i came in at he wuss part, i didnt even read the other posts...ahhaha.

[–] dropofahat 16 years ago

Well then, you really have no business stating an opinion about what I (or anyone else) said that started it all, if you didn't read the earlier posts. You asked if I "caught on" to the fact that Steve-O calls everyone a wuss (and called me a "moron" because you assumed - incorrectly - that I didn't catch on to that) - if you read my first post you'd have seen that I said that right away. Why would you ask a question like that if the answer was right there? Oh, right, because you didn't bother reading the earlier posts before leaving your comment. Smart.

Regardless, I STILL demonstrated that every aspect of your post was inaccurate, no matter which posts you read or didn't read. At no point did I "cry" (you're an ass for saying that), and I stand by my assertion that most of the morons jumping on the bandwagon wouldn't be able to do this "trick" without being shown (just like me). I notice you didn't answer my direct question to you. Do you still not know WTF I'm talking about?? It's really pretty simple.

And after the first time (which I admitted was funny) it was no longer funny to call me a wuss, just unoriginal.

[–] dropofahat 16 years ago

Thanks, Lutador. I guess a mob mentality tzkes over, they think it's funny to jump on the bandwagon. And right, I bet most of them don;t know how to do it either (but they're afraid to admit it for fear of being called a wuss...)

[–] specfor2 16 years ago

You balance it on salt retards. You can do that with anything. Pour some salt on the counter, tilt glass and it stays there, blow away loose salt and wow you are magic.

You are all wusses.

[–] emoion_sicknss 16 years ago

You're such a goddamn wuss.

[–] santor 16 years ago

and since it hasn't been said in a while, you're a wuss.

Can't believe you can't do this trick.
