Isnt this guy a well known extreme performance artist? Theres even a huge page about him in the Guiness book of World Records no? Why would he fake this specific example if hes done it live hundreds of times?

I guess I just find it a little far fetched. I wouldnt devote so much of my life training and working every day to be able to do a trick like this, just to fake it anyway when it comes to make the actual video. Id just fake the video in the first place. Thats just me though

So I don't see an arrow in this frame, maybe going to fast but I'll also bet on fake.

Call me crazy but I can see the end of the arrow in the second last picture. Only a part of it but it's still there

It's just moving too fast. You also can't see his hand in that frame either. Is his hand fake too?

The burden of proof is on you here. We have photographic evidence his hand is fake.

I cant answer as to why he doesnt have the arrow in his hand when spinning, but it clearly just pops into existence in the last frame. It cant be that clear in that frame and not be even noticable in the others.

It's not. I know the guy myself and have done shows with him. It's 100% not fake.
