I'll do my to describe it.

The whole bottle is 65mm high and 40mm at its largest diameter. The bottom
20mm is turned to a hemisphere and the top 45mm is shaped with a convex
curve into a long necked bottle.

Cut a hole 15mm diam x 6mm in the bottom and fill with molten solder. This
will make it stand up.

Drill a hole 20mm deep x 4.5mm diam down the neck. This is to take a cut
length of a 4" nail.

To do the trick have the length of nail down to neck of the bottle and
carefully lay the bottle on its side. If the balance is right the bottle
will stay on its side. Pick the bottle up by its neck and hand it to your
victim with the base upwards letting the nail drop into your hand.

The bottle will no longer lay down as there is no counter balance to the
weight in the base.

Collect your money from the bet.

Good luck
