Bar Magic

Bar magic is performed in bars, either seated in front of the bar as a customer, or behind the bar as a "magic bartender." It may also include restaurant magic if a given bar has separate tables for customers.

Bar magic is often impromptu, making use of objects commonly found at bars (like glasses, lemons, knives, etc.), or objects brought there by customers (like matches, cigarettes, business cards, etc.).

There is also a related category known as "Bar Bets" where the performer makes a seemingly impossible bet, and then proves that it is possible.
