glasses just entertaining the crowd
spinning and napkin cocktails how when
and why did it start we don’t know when
it starts really but if we talk about

because they trained the bartender to
flare in the 70s and 80s they hold the
first known flare competitions it was
called bar olympics and the winner of
this first competitions was John bandy
and it was the correct rougher and
trained actor Tom Cruise in the movie
