Some of Tim's Favourite Party Tricks

[@lilyblueharsh]

You can tell Tim's fun at parties just because he walks in with his shoes on the wrong feet.

[@dickJohnsonpeter]

I like how he just keeps them that way the whole video as if it wasn't totally uncomfortable to have his shoes on the wrong feet.

[@subaruthug]

Apparently he's had them on the wrong feet for the last 30 years.

[@Frozen_Smoke1972]

If someone could make a 24 hour loop of Tim trying to catch the coasters, that would be an amazing party trick to show in itself 😅

[@merrylderrickson3147]

Came up with a game years ago in college. it requires a lighter. can play alone or w/ someone (or in a circle with many) and all you gotta do is toss the lighter to a person, and they have to catch it. But there's a catch. (sorry for pun, just works out that way). The catch is: you can only use the back of your hand (including fingers) to both toss and catch. It's an easy game to learn, tough to master. everyone loves giving it a go and get very excited the first smooth catch they make.

[@dondee5439]

At the 2:10 mark, Tim shows us two ways to get the paper money from under the tipsy bottle. A third way is to rap on the table with one hand and gently pull the money from underneath the slightly bouncing bottle. The bottle, the cork and silk scarf was nicely done here. Also magicians love using silk in a lot of tricks because it is so thin and slippery.

[@teabow.]

2:50 You can also slam your first on the table and pull the bill at the same time for extra dramatic effect

[@WCGOLD27NZ]

"I got the knack of this last night while I was practicing... but now, it's seems impossible...", 07:36. Tim, when I did that trick, so many decades ago... when I was a young man, it required a bit of libation poured out to the deity of dexterity.... and it worked every time. As I recall, it worked best using a flick of the finger tips at the point of contact.

[@richardrejmer8721]

6:40 I'm 73 years old and I've been doing the coaster trick since I was 18. . The 'trick' is not to move your hand up - and then across. . . but to move it in one smooth curved line 'ever' so slightly up and more across the table. It's more of an upwards movement, just barely enough to clear your thumb up to table height and a smooth 'push' across the table top away from yourself. (that's the only way I can describe it in words. . So much easier to demonstrate) The coaster will pivot on your thumb tip and swing into your hand . . Do *NOT* try and *hit* the coaster/s UP and then 'catch' them . . It's more of a 'push' across the table away from yourself. . Physics will take care of the rest.

This man reminds me so much of my Grandpa and Grandpa Jon; they were/are former woodshop teachers who growing up, showed my sister and me so many little toys and puzzles they learned how to create throughout the years. There is never a day I don't regret not going out into the shop with Grandpa, but at least for a little while longer, I can muddle about in Grandpa Jon's shop while he sits nearby listening to me talking through what I'm doing. TL;DR, take the time today to be with those you love, as they may leave you sooner than you think.

Little tip for coaster snatch and grab. Instead of reaching forward trying to catch, simply hit the coasters directly upwards and they should naturally flip into the palm. Love you Tim

[@Max-js1mx]

Tim! I have a neat thing that is something like the shirt! A quick easy and rememberable way to tie your shoes, if you make the laces twist around eachother like you normally would tie your shoes. Instead of doing the bunny ears you can place each lace across your thumb and index finger, so the string is like the hypotenuse of your thumb and finger triangle, make sure you wrap each lace the opposite way around either hand, and then put your fingers together and you'll be able to grab the opposing string with your other hand and pull through. If you practice a bit (even just an hour or something) you can tie your shoes in less than a second! Sorry if this is awfully described, I learned it by watching a friend in highschool one day and never went back to the bunny ear way

[@Max-js1mx]

If you have social media or something I could definitely send an example if interested :)

[@AliLightfoot]

The knack with the coasters is it's all one movement, you don't slap them up and try to catch them, you essentially push them so they roll around your fingertips fluidly. You still need a bit of gusto on it, especially with a big stack, but you just have to commit and trust it will land in your grip when you pinch your fingers. I used to do it with a full deck of cards all the time.

[@norfy627]

Yes, excellent description of the best technique. Using it means you can even do both hands at the same time :D

[@lycanthropeify]

Cork trick was the neatest!

[@Iris_and_or_George]

Loved the video! For the coaster trick. If you ever try it don't start to close your hand when you hit the cards but start earlier so your hands are already closing when it hits. Less important but helpful if it's not working. Lay the coasters 1/3 off the table and then hit as close to the table as possible. This helps you hit in the right place. (I've worked many, many hours behind bars with nothing to do:-)
