Katana VS Arrow

therealblankmansays...

I remember a similar gimmick from "That's Incredible"; it is a gimmick and was subsequently debunked. The feathers on the arrow are splayed in such a way that the arrow brakes quickly and is at a VERY slow speed by the time it reaches the guy with the sword. On "That's Incredible" the guy was actually catching the arrows. The trick is to be standing at the right distance from the person with the bow/arrow so it still looks impressive.

So, I have to cry BS to the stunt. Sleight of hand only- not that it doesn't still take practice to pull it off.

I'm pretty into archery, and those arrows were not moving at all, by any standard. The first-timers I have trained shot faster than that with their first shot. The way she pulls the arrow back is totally amateur -- her pose is too hunched forward, and she's gripping the arrows rather than the string. Can't get any power that way. She's also only pulling back to her face.

Still a cool trick, but I'm not falling for the "dressing up".
