Thanks, Jim. That is a large topdog to do a corkscrew!
Is the top always bearing or can you lock the tip?

Next time I open a wine bottle using the Jim Boehm corkscrew trophy I will toast to you learning The Trick!

Great looking trick, Jim!! Using the large top gives the corkscrew a different and much more dramatic appearance. A nice addition to your shows, I would think.

Jim - thanks to your video I finally attempted, succeeded, and now know the trick Corkskrew.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.  Funny thing is I found it just by searching youtube - I hadn't seen this post yet.  The other funny thing is - My turn you watch YOU.

hi chris hi all
i had not seen your message........and now , watching the video again i realize that it turns out to be a good tutorial :
big tops are not very forgiving , so you have to do all the elements in order and kind of "clean"
for corkscrew :
hard throw and have the top straight in hand
wrap around without losing time , tight enough
put the arm in an upright position
start the movement but let the top do the job (don't try to accelerate the movement)
finally let it do a few more MGRs before catching it back

and it works !!

anagram of corkscew=  WE ROCK RCS
  (rollercoasters of Corse)
