History
The earliest record of a flair bartender is legendary/epic barman Jerry "The Professor" Thomas, who poured fiery streams of boiling water and flaming whisky and mixed an original cocktail called the Blue Blazer in the late 19th century. Cheryl Charming was the first to get a small flair bartending history and basic flair moves section published in her 5th book, Miss Charming's Guide for Hip Bartenders and Wayout Wannabes in 2005.
Flairing was also prominently featured in the 1988 film Cocktail starring Tom Cruise.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The true theater of history is therefore the temperate zone.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
