The first time I saw this trick back in the heady days of yore (2008), it was by Brian Brushwood, and he wanted to get it wrong, to shock the viewer. As a matter of fact, you can kind of see the fake blade sticking out of the back of his hand a second or two into the video. In more recent videos he does it so he misses the knife. But every time one of these "oops"es gets reported, I have to wonder if again, itās meant to work like that.

Back in high school (when I was still lame enough to do magic tricks) I had one where you would pierce your arm with a huge needle. The trick was supposedly that you would do it without harming yourself. The real punchline though was that the needle hat a hidden compartment with fake blood so you could pretend the trick had gone wrong and blood was oozing out of the punctuation wounds. A mechanism like that would go well with this nail trick.
ā¦ IĀ“m probably gonna click that video ā¦ why donĀ“t I know better ā¦
Edit: Watched it. āKurwaā indeed.

Itās not really bloody. But the host shrieks pretty bad. Sounds like genuine pain to me.

Haha, love the reaction of the magician in this one:
Watch from 3:15 if you donĀ“t want to see the actual accident.
Moderator: Is it ok?
Magician: Mhmm, yeah ā¦ ouch ā¦ off to the hospital now. ScheiĆe. IĀ“m sorry. DonĀ“t do this at home.
Moderator: Thanks a lot anyway, Christian.
Magician: My pleasure.

The way he responds after failing itās like:
āThe jigās up. Yeah, I donāt know what Iām doing. Iām stupid. I gotta go.ā
All I got out of him is disappointment. No anger or frustration just āI screwed up, on to the next thing.ā
The hosts reactions were weird too. But it could be entirely cultural. If that happened on an american morning show, Iād expect there to be huge reactions followed by commercials very quickly. These anchors were all like āis he okay? He says heās okay. I guess heās okay. On to the next thing *smiles brightly*ā
Gob, is that you?
WARNING: A person gets stabbed in the hand in this video.
Got it.

thank you! my thought EXACTLY.
no one with that haircut - touches me. much less slams my hand onto a steel spike.
By who? Itās not like you need a license. Some places might insist that you get insurance, which this guy will find tricky, but thereās no internation blacklist of crappy magicians.

They all think that, until theyāre added to The List.
Those on The List who insist on performing magic tricks just seem to vanish likeā¦
Well, like magic.

That would make a neat book. Shadowy agency (or maybe even serial killer) targeting inept and dangerous stage magiciansā¦
