This bottle cap bar trick is sure to have your opponent pulling at their hair. It seems so easy and they’ll want to try for hours, sure they’ll win on the next attempt and the next. I suggest setting a time limit or amount of blows before starting, as you might be there all night.

Bend the cap in half and sit it half in the neck or opening of the bottle. The bet is to blow the cap inside the bottle.

Because of the shape of the bottle and cap, the air will pass through the cap every time, bounce off the bottom of the bottle and push the cap outside.
