Hey Scott,
Thanks for contacting me...I am really enjoying the training DVDs for Flair Bartending...they are very helpful and I'm learning a ton. Don't think mine is really a success story, yet, but hopefully it will be in the near future...I'm opening a bar here in Charleston, SC in the near future...went to Vegas back in September, and went to Carnival at Harrah's - watched Mig and those guys, and loved it...went back every night we were there. I flew to Toronto and took a beginner's course at the Toronto Bartending Institute back in September. When I got back...I ordered your videos, and use them and practice almost every day. What could make this a success story is: South Carolina still has the 'mini bottle' law...all liquor drinks have to be poured using airplane style mini bottles...after years and years of this, they have finally changed the law, and free pour takes affect on January 1st...so, there aren't any bartenders here that have used big bottles, and definitely not any that can use Flair...so hopefully things will work out, I can train my staff, and we will be the only bar anywhere around here that does Flair... so thank you for your inquiry, and I really appreciate your company and the DVDs...thanks again. -- Chris Emerson ( South Carolina ) |

Hi Scott,
I usually watch the video's I ordered and I am very happy with them. You guys did a very good job putting them together. I wish I can devote more time then I have, becauae I won't do the harder stuff at work until I can get it perfect. But the easy stuff in the first video has helped me tremendously!!!!! I feel that these moves that you teach make me faster and thats what everyone wants!!!!! And if you can go fast, with some style, thats a fantastic combination. I am currently working at a local bar near my house, but after I master some more key moves and feel very comfortable with everything, I am planning on applying to a night club. Currently I have introduced magic into my bartending. People love that! Even small things go along way. If you guys are teaching classes up near you or are teaching classes at a location near me, please let me know, I think that would be real beneficial to me. Thanks for the e-mail, -- Dan King (kinger) ( Scranton, Pennsylvania ) |

The videos that I have made it through have been good.
I've made it though the 2 seminars videos that have increased my sells by suggestive selling when I have the time. Also not expecting tips for easy drinks knowing the money will come. Working at the casino drinks are very cheap. Most of the servers expect a tip everytime. I have never been that way. If you enjoy your job as long as entertaining your customers everything else falls in place. I will keep you updated. Take care Harrah’s Flair Bartender -- Greg Aufenkamp (north Kansas City) |

What's Happenin' Scott?
First and foremost, let me just say that I know Bunny emailed you, and that I am "parroting" everything you shared with us during the seminar class (remind me to "yell" at her some more for not cushioning when throwing up a bottle to balance it on her hand!). Well, she's right, so let me just say THANK YOU for being such a great "starter coach" because this team is really looking fantastic. With everything going on with geting this place up and running, I myself have not had the time to devote to furthering my own bartender flare ability (though I CAN juggle the plastic bottles now). What I have been able to do is focus on everyone else when we get together, and I have helped many of the others nail moves they were struggling with by watching and reminding them of the basics you taught us. It's extremely satisfying to see someone come in one night and be totally unable to do something, and then by slowly walking them through and really encouraging them, seeing them rock the move perfectly by the end of the night (and then see them incorporate the move into routines). It's also cool to see how everyone is gravitating to focus on different aspects of the flare. Soem are great with hand to hand stuff, others with flipping, some are rocking the shaker tins and others are rocking the beer bottles. Everyone seems to have a signature flair move, and it's exciting for me that everyone else is still so excited about "nailing that move." Just this last week we started "relearning" everything by introducing the real bottles. Everyone agrees that most moves are much easier with the weight distribution of the liquid and such. I really feel we'll be in great shape by opening (which, I believe, is being set for Tuesday, December 6th). So again; Thank You. As soon as we're actually open and I get a few moments to breath (yeah, right!), I fully intend to further my own flare education. I like being the coach, but I wanna rock out from time to time to, you know?? Plus, if you were sincere in the possibility of my helping you out from time to time (if I move up to an adequate level of 'wow factor'), I would love the opportunity to work and continue learning with you. Oh, and if possible, could you remind me of which pour spouts you recommended again? I need to get those ordered and I was looking the other day and totally blanked. And speaking of blanking, I have tried to get a hold of that tv news piece that was done when you ere here, but so far can't get them to dub it off for me. I will continue to "gently remind them" until I finally get the damn thing! Later, Scott! Blocks Brewery ( opens Dec. 2005 ) -- Jay ( Decatur, Illinois ) |
