Real or Staged... you tell me.

I can see this really happening but the very end makes it seems staged. What you you guys think...real or fake?

LMAO,

I am sure the end was staged. How else would he get a card inside the window? Also, you would have to have quite an arm to break a window like that by throwing a OPEN (no case) deck of cards at it. I am sure it was candy glass. Still, pretty funny! He still asked "Is that your card?" *L*

More than once have I dropped a ring in a rope and borrowed finger ring routine, which is why I never do it with anything but a wedding band. As Forest says, sh@t happens!

Good point but I am curious if the device ( there are several on the market ) that planted the card is what shattered the window. The window broke exactly as a real car window would break. Granted the car was rigged and the car may even be the performers so its not like he broke a strangers window.

Are these devices so strong they would break a window?

The glass did fall out (as opposed to "in"), but the break started at the very top right corner, not near the card that was reveled.

It doesn't take much to break a car window if done right. You can kick it with a steel toed boot and not damage it but hit it right with a sharp point and it shatters.

That whole thing had to be staged. Especially if it used one of the devices to plant the card (not quite sure how the work or what they look like).

Glass is strange. It can break at the littlest thing if conditions are right.

I shattered my front windshield of my car as I was trying to get my son's attention outside by slapping the inside with the palm of my hand. My ring hit the glass and the whole thing went.

It *does* look staged though, with his last comment and then running away. It sure was convenient that a camera was there recording the whole thing.

The video was staged because it was several video shots quite a bit of editing.

Hi Guys,

Just to clarify. I understand the video was staged and being filmed but I am wondering if the breaking of the glass was staged.

Best,

Tim

I think so . . . but that is more a hunch

Reminds me of the new show "Room 401"

It looks staged to me. If he really did break the window, why would he run into the mall, and not down the road, away from the scene?

It looks staged to me, Tim. The editing and storyline reminds me of a Tom Green show, Girls Behaving Badly or Prank Patrol. It was funny, though.

I remember as a rooky patrolman using a Slim Jim Tool to open a fella's car for him. He'd locked his keys inside the car. It was a bitterly cold Montana day and I had just slid the tool between the passenger's window and the door frame...hadn't done a thing yet...and the glass just shattered and fell into the passenger's seat. We were both totally stunned and all I could think to say was, "Well...There ya go!" That rascally auto glass!
