Aussie William Tell: an apple off his head with a boomerang

submitted by oxdottir

1 decade 7 years ago

This video is very short. It shows a man cutting an apple off his own head by throwing a boomerang. The voices in the video are German, but the language doesn't matter: just the demo. Maatc says it is from a German TV show called "Wetten Dass," where people claim they can do something and celebrity judges bet on whether or not they actually can. I think that means this is indeed real, and the youTube claims of precut apples and toothpicks is nonsense.

It´s from the german show "Wetten dass?" where people bet they can do something and celebrity guests bet on the outcome offering a wager.

Usually none of it is fake, though sometimes people lose their bets if they don´t achieve what they claimed they could do.
There definitely was one fake bet once when an undercover reporter from german TITANIC magazine appeared on the show and claimed he could recognize the color of crayons by licking them. He tricked the producers by getting hidden messages from an accomplice.

There is a saying: "When you want to conquer the German-speaking market on one night, you have to appear on 'Wetten, dass..?", which is quite true for the artists appearing between the bets, not so much for the contestants.

Meh. Couldn't he catch it in his teeth?

He looks like young Bill Gates.

Bravo is for opera, classical, modern dance and musical theatre I think.
