Basically im asking you expereinced flair bartenders to help me out here.. im trying to compile a database style record of flair moves if you could reply to this topic with the following information about the moves you know
Move name e.g. hand stall any akas e.g. balance on back of hand
Tools needed e.g. bottle Difficulty (1 - 5, 5 being the hardest 1 being easy for a newbie) e.g. 1
Little description of what the move looks like (describing how the move is done really but also describing the path of the bottle etc.) e.g. the bottle is balanced on the back of the hand either from a pop or flip
Keep them coming as many as possible and ill forever love you in the most normal way.. if you see a move posted and it sounds familiar but know a different variation or name just post that.. just say "the move soandso posted, hand stall, i also know it as an oranage monkey" ill just update the info as required!
Thanks alot guys, this will be a massive help!

1. I'm not trying to put you off nor am I trying to deflate the idea, but doing this is v difficult.
2. There is already a flair dictionary out there compiled by a pro that is nowhere near complete. see flairbar.com
3. Difficulty is really a matter of opinion, when you get to where I am now, you will see that what you describe as a five, will be a one to me, or a three. What would you rate a complete pros move? like a four bottle cascade or a three bottle tomahawk. On your scale, both would be a five, but I am far more able to do the cascade than the tomahawks.
4 There is an endless number of moves that are variations, like shadow passes to stall, or swipes, reverse swipes.
Don't get me wrong I would love it if you could comile this database, but take it from a number of experts and me that the task is daunting and would never end. The best thing for you to do is to write each move you know as you learn.
Hope this helps
