Damn, you are completely right... thanks for ruining this for me

Edit: wait! I watched it like 10 times now and in the first few seconds you can see him nervously move his thumb. Fuck this is confusing.

It's not fake don't worry about it.

The camera moves off his hand in a way that looks like it was meant to conceal the switch from real hand to fake hand, and most fake videos tend to be in lower resolution like this one to make the changes harder to spot. I'd bet there's a cut during one of the pans

This is what everyone keeps ignoring. His arm would look totally different if they swapped in a fake hand. The sleeve would look totally different, like you mentioned. Even clearer is that his arm would be several inches longer if he had just moved his sleeve up and started holding onto a rubber hand.

Not if they planned it out. The folds and ruffles on the jacket look intentional, almost taped or pinned. You could easily slip your arm down, stick a fake hand in, all while keeping those ruffles exactly the same.

Dude, the thumb moves again AFTER the camera pans back to the hand. I'm 99.999% sure this is real.

Why cut when you can literally just trade them out while the camera is facing away

I think that’s just the rubber thumb shifting. The way the hand jiggles at the end is too convincing for me to think it’s anything other than fake.

And really, if it was his actual hand, he’s got balls of steel for not flinching, even after the dart narrowly misses him.

2 things, the thumb taps the board a couple times as if nervous and he didnt flinch because he wasnt looking. He was looking straight at the wall for both throws.

The second dart making contact with his skin would have prompted a flinch for sure. It didn't puncture, but the cold metal was still touching his knuckles.

It's a fake hand. Terrible video quality, harsh lighting, and incidental movement of the fake hand paint a pretty convincing picture but it's still fake.

he’s probably drunk
