This week's move is another "prop flair." The first time I saw this, I pooped my pants. If you do this really well, it can get a great response.

Rules of Flair:
1. Practice, practice, practice.
2. Practice at home, perform at work. Never try anything at work that you can't land at least 90% of the time at home.
3. Always flair safely. Never flair without mats on the ground. Never flair around co-workers who aren't comfortable with it or who don't know how to move around you. Never flair drunk.
4. Practice with empty Malibu bottles (the plastic wrap holds it together in case it breaks) or get a practice bottle from my bar store.
5. Practice with both your left and right hands.
6. Have fun.
7. The FBA motto: Service first, flair second, competition always!

In the next few weeks, we'll be focusing on prop flair - flair focusing on items in your bar other than a bottle/tin. Have fun with this one.
