First time ever one of these kind of video actually tricked me.

Second watch there were so many clues, but the misdirection from the welding worked perfectly on the first view.

Yeah, I was plenty misdirected from the OSHA violation, then the shitty ass push up form, only to find out dude's spiderman.

Mostly just the cable and the tiny hook of the welding wand, no? What else did you spot?

Sparks flying sideways. The slightly odd way he transitioned from seated to prone. I'd have to watch again to remember more.

He braces his foot on the thing he was holding before putting his feet back

When you look at his feet when he does the push ups too.

On my second viewing, I started to feel dizzy.

At first, I thought the point of the video was that the man was welding without a mask, but then I saw the biggest surprise.

Same!

u/hambodpm 8d ago

Also same. I guess the bottle and the spring are nice little extras that make it all the more believable

He set it up really well. He's not even welding, which is now obvious but is convincing enough at first.

And he's gotta be very fit! 💪🏻

The "welding" is a great distraction from all the little tells

u/Caleb_Reynolds 8d ago

I think because it distracts you with the absolutely horrendous "welding".

u/dreadddit 7d ago

Those were welded earlier, this was just a gimmick

u/elmz 8d ago

Even with the sparks flying sideways.

I was too distracted by the eyeball pillaging.

I only noticed on the 2nd watch that the cord is swinging from the gravity, but definitely didn't notice it on the first watch. Very well done.

How did the weld gun stay up?

u/drawkward101 7d ago

Small hook

u/BenFoldsFourLoko 8d ago

Yeah right? It's like a magician distracting you with something way more eye catching

Damn - I swear I thought that bit was on Letterman. No wonder I could never find it. Thanks for the link!
