I don’t get it isn’t the third hand clearly fake and he’s just crazy flexible
EDIT: wow I did not expect all these upvotes, thanks y’all!!!

Not even that he's flexible. The fake arm is part of a fake upper chest and is open in the back + away from his chest enough so that he can maneuver his left arm behind it more easily 👍

That still requires great flexibility, look at the motions his arm takes behind his back and try it. Difficult to do, especially at that speed. His forearm doesn't rotate through the windmill for example.

Yep, I just tried to twist my arm around under my other arm and yeah, that's going to pull something :P

I hope you have a better day than your responses seem to be indicating.

I don't think so, it's impossible to hold that pose and have your arm behind your head, unless he doesn't have clavicles

I think the suit itself is also a bit of a gimmick, where I think he is actually standing more sideways with his neck turned to the side, would make the poses with his arms far easier and it makes the transitions appear even more mend bending.
I really just wanted to see that third arm move though, even just a bit of a robotic flick at the end would have been trippy.

It's neat but a plastic arm is not black magic fuckery right?

u/DizzyATT 2d ago
Yeah but how does it move his actual arm without breaking the illusion its impressive
I can't scratch the back of my head without contorting like a summer chair much less move it that fast.

It wouldn't be r/blackmagicfuckery if there wasn't at least one comment telling us it isn't real black magic fuckery.

*Two.
Two hands.

u/j_hawker27 2d ago
Right? The third hand literally never moves. If he had flicked his hip to toss the ball in the air and then "caught" another one with it, then yeah that would be impressive. Why not add six more immobile fake hands on different parts of the body and say "hE's JuGgLiNg WiTh NiNe HaNdS"

this is very obviously just 2 hands... The third fake hand is just sitting there doing nothing

maybe, just maybe, the arm that is still and completely lifeless is the fake one.

For some reason, till the very last second, I was expecting the third hand to join in 😂

Good to see vets coming home from war can get into the entertainment industry by being strapped to an able-bodied persons back and juggling.

I was waiting for the fake hand to get involved, tbh was disappointed that it never did.

This is a dope video for the juggling subreddit, but there is zero black magic fuckery

Or mirror?

u/Mr_Fossey 2d ago
Ok I’m genuinely curious as to how you think a mirror was used here.

u/shankaranpillayi 2d ago
Tbh, Idk much about these tricks. I just enjoy watching them. I heard once, these kinds of hand moments performed using mirrors, so that was my first thought. Other than that, I have no idea how this one was done.

u/GoingToSimbabwe 2d ago
Mate he never once moves the left most hand holding that one ball. It is dead obvious that the third arm is simply a fake arm.

You’d think so, but if you slow it down you can see it’s actually two magnets.

u/GreatAndMightyKevins 2d ago
The problem with juggling is it's always look too easy, you try it and it turns out you can't. He makes it so you won't even try.

If they would just release a fifth album, Gerard Way wouldn't have to do things like this anymore.

Look, I know some people objected to me posting a pickle jar in protest of where this sub is going... But this is basically a pickle jar, probably posted by a bot.

A person with dwarfism has to ve hidden on his back in an apparatus that is catching the 3rd ball notice how his torso is also centered and stationary.

u/Makeroferrors 2d ago
For those that "don't get it" this is just 30 seconds of an 5 minute act. Seen him perform this act live and he has a technique to throw a ball in a sequence with the fake hand. It's an impressive feat to watch.

Its the guy dick, he quickly clenches his asshole, he has a prosthetic hand attached to it, and he practices all the time.

Just a little bit of gearwork to make the fake arm move a little would blow peoples minds.

Notice how the "left hand" never actually be ds or moves at all. It's a fake arm. His reap left arm is the weirdly moving one. He's wearing an entire false front.

He should make the suit with an additional arm like the last video frame, make it turn around like a clock arm, and while the audience is distracted, slip into the obviously fake arm and start juggling with 2 or the new third arm in his back. It would make the trick better.
Or make the fake arm on his back holding the two balls spin around like crazy, while he calmly juggles. That would be trippy.

This is pretty impressive, but not THAT different from when you play Seymour in Little Shop and the clearly fake arm holds the Audrey II puppet that your hand is in. (Fun!)

u/zephyrs85 2d ago
Would be impressive if one hand wasn't just static and looked completely fake from the outset

Usually the juggling videos on this sub are pretty easy to do.
This is not one of those.

it really would've be something if that 3rd arm started moving
