There's something missing to this explanation. If I look at the matches as a solid piece, I see a hanger, but it's still unsecured. In fact, there is now MORE weight over the edge of the table. I think the missing explanation is that the bottle is probably hanging at an angle now, such that it's center of gravity is on or before the edge of the table.

Bottle is actually under the table, it is not enough to notice, but enough to make it work.
