I watched this the first time it aired, then watched the rerun because I had a friend over who didnt see the first one.

He was like, 'really, magic tricks?'
Then after I picked his jaw up off the floor, he was glad I made him watch it :)

The last trick the needle is not passing through the arm but down and around his arm. If you look watch how much of the needle is actually pulled out of his arm versus how much it would of taken to go directly through it you'll see there is a big difference.
They typically use a small tube, some latex and body paint.

Some of his stuff is purely amazing. I love watching him. When he makes objects appear where seemingly impossible, I'm just flabbergasted. My wife and I have replayed some of his tricks over and over and can find absolutely no explanation for the trick results.

Its on camera, anything could be done.

This. Especially the new age of digital editing. Makes me wonder if the spectators are really random people or not.

I would have to see the trick in person to be truly awed. Tricks look cool as hell though.

Watched OP, and it would be entertaining to see it in person.

LOL at that parody video
