Einar makes a bottle opener vanish

Einar enters the study in a very showman-like fashion, accompanied by a drum roll, and wearing a top hat, a coat, and one white glove.

He says he could do with a soft drink before beginning, which happens to be ginger beer. He then requires a bottle opener, which he reveals with an “Aha” from within his gloved hand.

It is then revealed that he does not need the bottle opener because the bottle has a screw-cap, so he makes the bottle opener ‘vanish’ up his sleeve through the use of some elastic.

He ends his performance with a tip of his hat and walks, slumped, out of the door. To Solveig’s annoyance, he earns second place.
