We present the atomic bomb of sucker gags: The Funnel!
Sooner or later when you're pulling scams at the bar, you'll run across someone that's too drunk, annoying, or pushy to pay proper attention. You can usually ditch them using the Thumb cuffs (from episode 5), but someone especially aggressive deserves special treatment...Which is why we present the atomic bomb of sucker gags: The Funnel
THE SETUP: Start with a demonstration of what the mark's going to try: grab a funnel from behind the bar and tuck it in the waistline of your pants. Balance a quarter on your forehead, and slowly tilt your head forward, until the coin falls off and lands in the funnel (if you miss, don't worry: you're only demonstrating the principle, and it's okay if it looks difficult). Explain to the mark that the game is simple: he'll win a free beer from you if he can land the coin from his forehead into the funnel.
THE EXECUTION: Now have the mark mimic your setup: funnel in his pants, head tilted back, quarter on his forehead. Give him a countdown, and just before he starts...
...pour your beer into the funnel, and straight down his pants!
Needless to say, you'll need to choose when to pull this stunt very carefully. And when you do pull it off, be ready for a quick getaway!

Thanks for all the compliments. I am not opposed to any of the ideas. Its just difficult to do something that will keep the attention of web users that would be fresh and new like what Scam School has.

"I am the guy in the Funnel Episode I am glad you guys liked the gag. When I showed up for the taping Brian asked me if I minded getting beer spilled on me and I was fine with it and this is what we got about 4 hours later.
It was on my birthday and I got to meet Ron from iFanboy, Jonny Zavant (check him out on myspace) who was Brian's assistant and some other Rev3 crew. They are all great people and I had fun shooting and I am glad you all enjoyed the episode that resulted in a two hour drive home in beer soaked jeans."
You're a great sport. You give new meaning to "wet my pants laughing." Welcome. Don't be a stranger.
