18 Steps To $180 | Free Champagne Wednesday, January 7th Daily News, Money Making

So after the success of Mondays post, and everyone loving the $10 bet, I’ve actually written an eBook with 18 of these little tricks in (hence the late Wednesday post). Now I’m planning on selling this eBook for about $5 a piece, but for you my loyal readers, I’m offering some free copies! All you have to do is leave me a comment saying you would like a copy of the eBook and I will email it out to you asap. I am looking for some reviews of the book to put up with the sale of it, so if any of you who want a free eBook either mind writing a small review, or just sending me an email with some comments about it, that would be fantastic. I’d also like to know about the price I’m selling it at, if you think it’s too steep, or too low…

On a similar note, I discovered another one of these ‘tricks’ that can be used to get free champagne if your cocky enough (or have had enough dutch courage). You might be out with your friends, and one of them suggests celebrating a friends birthday…now normally champagne isn’t very cheap…but it is for you! So you stroll on over to the bar, birthday girl on your arm, and greet the bartender in your best James Bond voice (why the voice? No reason, but you’ll feel cool).  You buy whatever drinks you might like, before laying down the champagne challenge. You turn the the bartender and say ‘It’s this lovely girls birthday today, and I’d like to show her something really special – I’d like to show her how to drink from a champagne bottle, while it is still sealed, and without breaking the glass. Do you reckon its possible?’ – the bartender will most likely stare at you, thinking the drinks he just served you were a mistake. ‘Well how does this sound, if I am able to drink from this champagne bottle, without opening it, without breaking the glass, without even damaging the seal, this girl receives a lovely free bottle of champagne courtesy of your bar. However if I fail, I will buy three bottles of your most expensive champagne’, and as you say that you place your card down on the counter. Now some bars do give out courtesy champagne to VIPs, so the chance might be good enough for the bartender to take you up on it. So he brings over a bottle of champagne and looks at you, ready and waiting.

You stare at the bottle for a bit, running your fingers all over it, and then repeat the bet – ‘If I can drink, from this bottle of champagne, it is ours to take for free – agreed?’. You stare at the barman, he stares back at you…you hope he isnt coming on to you. He nods. You grab the champagne bottle, turn it over, pouring your drink into the crevice at the bottom of the champagne bottle. You take a sip of the drink, before grinning like a buffoon – you never said you would drink the champagne inside it, you merely said you would drink from it. The curved bottom of the champange bottles make it very easy to do! Enjoy your champagne, you classy piece of work you.
