look at this wow this is a Chinese head chopper and blade your head goes in that hole and then that blade goes all the way down the blade sharp the blade doesn't need to be sharp it's more about brute force and you can feel that's sharp why why is a good question head choppers or Guillotines were used until the' 70s the 1970s what ready to get in the prop no hold on to the blade and now there's this nice little comfortable carve out feels bad there's a reason magic shows don't really do these tricks anymore hang on it's all good this is just the wood part oh yeah W that's tight okay and then this piece goes oh no it's even tighter so now here's the fun thing no none of this is a fun thing I have
another phone right here can't see oh no all right so we just no I don't want to see it if the camera comes rushing to your face no something went wrong oh no okay here this is good okay so we'll just show this selfie angle here just to show kind of what the wow so you can see actually through the crack you can see your neck in there oh good where the Blade's going to go yeah that's actually kind of crazy have you tried this thing we just got it out of the box so we don't even know if it works I'm sure it's going to work I mean which way is it going to work I think it's going to be fine is it going to work as a magic trick or as a guillotine where did I put that blade here it is okay you so now so
now here we go you ready for this no which way do I put the blade in again I wait is there a right way and a wrong way um I don't know you don't know how this okay I feel that you're not supposed to feel it really you felt it yeah okay then I think I have to put the blade in the other way you don't know how this work no it's going to be fine okay is it yeah I think so hang on let me just oh I know what I forgot what you know what I forgot you let's make sure we're doing this right no thanks I'm fine no they're they're for the trick uh we put these oh good that's more uncomfortable right you're F hold that baby in the way it's so bad okay I'm just let me stick it in this was on stage uh yeah
okay great it's t I can't help how you doing you good okay so those carrots are out there actually worse now I know we're going to get it done right now okay here we go all right I'm going to I'm going to straddle you oh this just keeps getting better doesn't it listen I got to put the blade in so the blade is here okay now at this point you'd get to say final words you suck oh you sound like a YouTube commenter quickly as fast as I can no maybe not as fast as you can yeah you good yeah any adjustments you need to make U maybe getting out okay here we go one oh no two it's an illusion right three weeks ago I was doing this trick just do it okay I'm sorry I'm just joking okay oh I can't look I can't see it in the camera I don't like it oh yeah
you got a good camera angle for okay here we go one two I mean I hope it works oh no that's not what I want to hear right now what just happened whoa yeah it really cut the carrots cool so the thing is about the guillotine there I will get you out I can't move there's a long history of guillotines used we can talk magic shows you good we can do the whole post show after you remove this I'll let him out okay so now here's the thing let's it's tight nope what hey a piece came out there's a piece youing do we need that the back one's still tight oh I hate it you want to know how this thing works yes all right I'll show you how it works how did it cut the carrots well the blade went through just the carrots well how is that possible
because look this is the exposed view right this here's the exposed view of that blade going through here I'll tell you what grab the camera and I'll show you exactly how this thing works because it's pretty fascinating uh there's actually come in here and look what is notched into the metal here yeah come over a little bit to your side see that there's something going to hit those pins which is going to actually the most dangerous part of this trick is actually right in these holes so I'll show you grab me a carrot thank you grab me one of those other carrots right there excellent so we're going to stick those through here all right okay there's also some secret pieces on this piece of wood it's upside down thank you
I knew what I was doing I do not feel confident in that I don't I no well good thing the Trick's already over yeah if I would have seen this beforehand I wouldn't have been in it yeah look it's new we just took this thing out uh but it is basically self-working uh but did you see these knobs there and there not at first what I'll do is I'll remove one carrot here and I want you to get really close so you can see cuz you're going to see something actually happen I see a little black ring uh is it already out a little bit I'm figuring out the trick real time actually myself after doing it to me well let's but it worked watch what happens if I push down on that in this space right here first we're going to get a
duplicate blade coming down okay but look at what happens in these holes I can now take those two carrots I can stick them in and by bringing this down these blades you see those blades there yeah you can get close up and see those blades are actually going to cut right through whatever is in between there so that's how the carrots are cut but how does the head not get cut I'll show you and these guys right here those little notches those are important because that's going to retain pain the blade look through the hole and you'll see hi the Blade's really going past but if I flip this around so if you put it the wrong way you would have cut my head off no what because look at it this way no Blade at all and I would
not have cut your head off because what would have gone through your neck oh so now you can take this thing you can put it through and you can have anything stuck through the middle whoa did I have it going the right way I hope so okay and it doesn't go through and it cuts whatever is in here that is pretty impressive engineering does uh your honey want to get in the gutin would you like to do it no thank you she says no thank you huh Guillotines used to not have a choice those were the days
