Opening a Coke with a Bullwhip

Here's my first try opening a Coke bottle with a bullwhip.

I'm amazed I got it on my first try!

Kwad,

I just did a blog post with some of my thinking on Opening a Bottle With a Bullwhip at : http://bullwhips.org/?p=4998

There are also some links to old news reel footage of whip crackers (including Dan Hassett doing it on horseback and the four corners on horse back) knocking corks out of wine / champagne bottles on my blog as well.

I'm very curious if anyone else has tried actually opening a bottle with a whip?
