World record attempts at flipping beer mats blindfolded

So last weekend I started the warm up to flipping beer mats blindfolded. At a friend's house and after a few beers, I thought I'd at least start trying at setting a new world record.

Below are two videos, the successful flip of 50 beer mats whilst blindfolded with two hands and two stacks of 25 beer mats, and the bloopers / out-takes.

And the blooper reel...

Surprisingly enough, the record flip was my 5th attempt!

If you want to try your luck, visit the Beer Mat Flipping YouTube Competition for more details.

BeerMatFlipping.com website launched

Earlier this week I launched a site dedicated to Beer Mat Flipping at www.beermatflipping.com and am really happy that it's come together so quickly. The website gives a background to beer mats, a how-to video guide to flipping beer mats, as well as a video gallery of some of the best on YouTube.

As part of the launch, I've set up a YouTube Video Competition, and encourage you to take part. It's a bit of fun, but sets out a worldwide contest to see who can flip the most beer mats in a single and double stack, with their eyes open and whilst blindedfolded. The four categories can be found on the Beer Mat Flipping Group page on YouTube, where you can join the Group and submit a video.

I've also created a Twitter profile at www.twitter.com/beermatflipping and you to follow me and get to hear how the competition is shaping up. If you are on Twitter and are taking part in the competition, then it's the essential way to keep up to date and share videos with your friends.
