First, if you are in or around Edinburgh, I am speaking at the Edinburgh Fortean Society tonight. Details here.
@StuartJRitchie and @FractalMax sent me this great version of the old tablecloth trick….
Like it? Think it is genuine or fake?
Richard Wiseman
Quirky mind stuff
Look at the wallpaper. No one has that in there house surely? Set. And think if you had a video of your brother/son being seriously injured or possibly killed I don’t think you would post it on you tube, would you?
Fake.
Kid starts moving back just before you’d expect him to if he’d been pushed.
Nobody falls like that. He didn’t even try to protect himself – he should have put his hands out to block his fall, but no, he puts his hands together.
He also falls in a manner that suggests the bottom cupboards are faked to protect him.
At 11 seconds the little one has vanished as if there is a hole in the floor that he’s fallen (dived) in to. I don’t think there was anyone harmed in the making of this clip.
Tablecloth is okay but the wall which fallen on the boy seems fake or made of paper.
Fake, but it’s very well done.
Fake. The TV set is just a cardboard box.
It may be fake, but it’s still pretty funny.
it’s real, real funny.
After watching it a few times and watching the previous clips of them failing I’m convinced it’s staged. There’s plenty of space for a safety zone in the cabinet and the kid appears to be practiced in minimizing his profile as he falls.
But damn it was funny.
These kids have a huge series of hilarious failures at doing the tablecloth trick. Check out their related videos.
Oh, it helps to go to their actual page rather than a channel where their stuff was reposted.
这样很有道理啊
Obviously faked, but very funny nonetheless.
Lovely video, but it’s part 4 of a series of 4 similar videos made for a German TV show (http://www.stopptdieshow.de/).
I wouldn’t say it is funny; it shocked me despite the title of the video. Good work!
fake
it´s fake, look at the pencils in the foreground
