Actually he is in the running for a video production award. Can you say "made for youtube"

Things are so often not what they appear.

I think we need to have our in-house expert, CL Scott, take a look at it!

Assault slingshot. Only one ball allowed in your pocket in California. Two balls is a felony.

In Jersey viewing this video is a felony. Lol

Ok way to many problems with this one. you can see the steel ball coming back but he yells before it hits him. how does the camera fall with him and land right in the exact spot needed? Who the heck cleaned and bandaged him up a 6 year old?

Thanks Ted! I think it was fake, here's why:

1. It's hard getting camera angles and focus like that on purpose.
2. He has enough money and technical experience to use a slow motion camera.
3. It's hard enough getting camera angles and focus like that on purpose.
4. At 2:09-2:10 it looks like fake skin lifted under the towel.
5. How can a camera just fall into perfect frame like that? It's hard enough to get a camera angle and focus like that. on purpose!

He deserves the views for creativity and getting that ball to come flying from under the sheet. But my vote... ​FAKE

It also appears the person coming to his aid has some already dried blood on one of his fingers. Implying this wasn't the first take.

Probably because it's hard getting camera angles and focus like that on purpose.

SO wait, your telling me that is hard to get the camera to angle like that? even on purpose? lol

I completely agree. Just figured I would throw in my 2 cents and add onto your list of reasons it looks fake

He's lucky his hand was protected... that thing could have taken someones finger nail out.

But seriously... it's a fake. The slomo shot of the glass bottle shows how much the force is reduced upon impact with the wall (bottle or no bottle). The steel ball would not have traveled back that far with that much speed.

Because of all the gun crimes this cause him to invent this deadly sling shot. So this was totally the gun mfg fault along with the NRA.
