Harvey found a vid where someone, effortlessly, opens a beer with a butter knife.
They tap the neck twice, then the body twice then sweep off the cap.
Sensing bullshit, we gave it the ol' college try.
The taps do nothing.
Any motion that brushes the cap will just knock the bottle over.
HOWEVER!
I remembered how to open champagne bottle with a saber and the same technique works with a beer and a butter knife.
It is also, like a saber with champagne, impervious to being filmed.
I opened three bottles of champagne with a saber at a wedding, with a wedding photographer trying to capture it, and he didn't manage to catch the moment even once!
The same thing happened with Harvey trying to video it. As soon as she hit stop, with me flailing away, I hit the sweet spot and off the top of the bottle flew!
There's an episode of Globe Trekker where they successfully filmed opening champagne with a saber. It was in France and the traveler was Justine Shapiro
