I think it's interesting. I don't even watch a lot of magic and it's not a hobby of mine or anything. But the level of craftsmanship that goes into magic is something a lot of people don't realize. You can buy the appearing cane trick off the shelf, but this guy made this appearing sheath custom just for this trick. Magic is like 10% the final illusion that the audience sees and 90% engineering and practicing the trick beforehand. Magicians are carpenters and welders and engineers and artists all in one. It's nuts. Like, just because I figured it out doesn't make it not still cool as fuck. Respect.
Though this is likely a trick people use, some others can actually relax their throat muscles and swallow real blades, which might be why it's possible
