Ping Pong Knife

messenger says...

Putting the knives through the paddles could be possible. And cool.

The pineapple one is fake for two reasons:
a) it's not possible to practice it safely -- the margin of error is too small for humans
b) the odds of hitting the pineapple exactly horizontal in both x- and z-planes are too long
c) I frame-by-framed it, and the perfect cut in the pineapple appears before the knife hits it
I'm guessing that knife was made of rubber, or was CGI'ed in later.

The ping-pong ball one might be possible, but in this case, I'm sure it was faked. I think she had the ball in her mouth the whole time and the ball was CGI'ed in later like in Forrest Gump and the Bruce Lee one. If it were real, her mouth would have been open wider and longer before the ball got there, and she would have been using a sharp intake of breath to increase the chances of catching it.

Great show though. Upvote!

They filled it with ping-pong balls.

So, how did they do this? Did they pump air into the lower decks? Pump water out of the upper decks? Stuff a bunch of foam noodles under one side?

So I already imagined this, except in my version the circle containing the Starbucks name and product (coffee) is the silhouette of a ping pong ball in the foreground, ready to hit you in the face.

900 MPH Ping Pong Ball vs. Paddle

oohlalasassoon says...

I don't. Maybe it disintegrated on impact, but there's still a hole in the paddle.

While I don't think this is what happened in this video, pressurized air alone could punch a hole in a ping pong paddle. Surely those dorks at Mythbusters have blown shit to bits this way.

Reminds me of a story my retired-Navy uncle told me of a guy he served with that worked in the boiler room on a ship. As he was working on a high-pressure steam pipe he saw something fall to the floor. It was his thumb. An invisible jet of pressurized steam escaping a needle-thin leak in the pipe cut it off.
