Seriously got lost in the moment with him. I truly wish i was as conceptual with dynamic manipulation as he is. I am stilling trying to figure my own body's dynamics out, much less trying to figure out everything elses relationship with it. well all i can do now is kinda mumble to myself.... wow, i honestly had no idea that the vid was as long as it was.

It's not totally impossible, but it's just the tip of the iceberg - you have to hit that nail square on in a pretty small period of time. Considering how easy that sort of shot is to fake (hit the nail, cut, wham!) it seems unlikely that bit's real. I'd love to believe in the juggling, though!

As for honing that kind of force, along with the timing, angle, and dumb luck it would take to perform the final trick not so sure. Has anyone here attempted to ballance a nail on the point end with a hammer..../me wanders off well, as for nail aerodynamics, there are cetainly lots of nailguns that would beg to differ with thier abilit to shoot nail relative straight across rooms.

But i wasnt there, and it is truly difficult to say these days. At least half of what alot of us do seems imposible to our audiances, we just keep finding that we can still be awed like them. it looks like most of the individual tricks were ‘real’ however, i think that they were linked with cj.
