Silly bets and wagers

[Klu]

Anyone got bets that only you can win? Simple tricks and such also simple and funny magic tricks too

[Governor of Florida in 1682]

There is a sleight of hand trick where one has 5 pieces of wrapped stick gum in envelopes. one is supposed to have a $5 in it. Four are chosen by spectators and one kept by the con. The four spectators are invited to swap envelopes with any other envelope. The con actually has the $5 hidden in a gimic used as the tray for passing out the envelopes. He pulls out the stick with the 5 instead of the actual stick of gum from his envelope

Ok...maybe this is a stupid one but...
If you count the twist in the wire cage of a champane bottle will it be an even number or an odd number?

t will always be an even number. A wine maker told me this. There is apparently only one maker of machines that twist them and they only work in even numbers.
