Shaolin Monk Throwing Sewing Needle Through a Piece of Glass

I didn't know where else to put this, so I am placing here in the people folder. This is pretty cool!

Must have took a lot of practice. :p

Absolutely awesome.

I've been a martial artist all my life, including Chu'an Fa(Shaolin kempo) but I still can't do stuff like that...

swwweeeet! wish i could do stuff like that!

Here is another one, if you pause it just after the needle goes through the glass, you can see the eye of the needle.

It looks like crystline cellulose rather than glass. If you look closely at the video that includes a balloon as well, you can see a second film layer of some type is present. It could be an extremely thin film coating of some type on Saran Wrap that is pulled tight and coated through an evaporative process making a very fragile "glass-like" surface. The plastic wrap would account for the lack of shattering.

reminds me of this video I saw

Forgive me still don't know how to embed, so if someone could embed the video I am providing as a link would be great (if your really nice youll send me a u2u telling me how to do it properly)

Here is another one with a side view so you can see the thickness of the glass. The glass shatters on this attempt though.

I can do that, except with my urine stream and a piece of three-inch thick tungsten steel.

I win lots of bar bets that way.

Hahaha, it's the Shaolin punk!

Have had it demonstrated by a shaolin monk that studied under for a time.. Quite impressive as yes its an actual sewing needle he used and a regular window glass. Took him many years of study to be able to do. Best that can manage at present is using nails working on the skill yet...

Wow thats awsom... just imagin if that was not glass but a human
