Slow Motion Stories

Oh, hi! Dan, have you ever wanted to see your name in lights, big lights? Well, who hasn't, really? Yeah. Sadly, couldn't find any light bulbs but did find a load of det cord. ( theme music playing ) I love that we have that in the shed and not lights. And you used to use det cord in the Army, didn't you? - Yeah. - What's it all about? Well, basically, it's called a detonating cord. It detonates, right? About 6,000 meters a second. Which is super quick. - God! - So in the blink of an eye, it's gone...

Hello! Today we have the world's fastest card thrower. Oh! Oh! Dan: It just disappeared. Gav: It's like a knife did it. And a fast-draw world champion. Dan: Oh! That was so quick. Gav: That was very quick. - Hey, what's going on? - Hello, Rick. How are you? Good. What is your speed record? My speed record? Ah, I can throw a playing card over 90 miles per hour. What? No. Oh! Oh! Geez, I reckon I can throw a card. - Let's see. - Yeah? Yeah, let's see where you're gonna throw it. I'll just chuck it...

Hello! Welcome to the "Slow Motion Stories"! Gav, you ever seen in the movies when people deflect bullets away from themselves? Yeah. Mad skills. I wonder.. oh, yeah. Mad skills. - Ninja skills. - Yeah. I wonder if it's actually possible. I mean, obviously, for a human to do that would be ridiculous. But if someone somehow managed to hit the bullet with a blade, would it split the bullet? - I think it would. Because when you find a bullet that's been fired, it's always crumpled as though it was very soft on impact...

Hello! And this time on the "Slow Motion Stories" it's all about speed. You could say it's FPS versus FPS. Feet per second versus frames per second. - Genius! If not a little confusing. - Yeah. We've got Shaolin Monk throwing a needle through glass. Various styles of martial arts developed by monks of the Shaolin Temple. The Shaolin Temples is a Buddhist monastery in Henan province, China. We've got a quick-draw champion. And we're even splitting some bullets. ( theme music playing ) I always appreciate it when someone has an incredibly unique talent at one specific task...

Hello! Welcome to the "Slow Motion Stories" When we were deciding what to drop from our immense 80-foot crane, we were thinking of different items. You know, you got to pick something relatable. Something that everyone sees. Maybe something from a living room. And then I thought why don't we just drop a living room? Yeah. So here we are. I'm really quite impressed at this, to be honest. It's lovely. The lights even work. Well, this picture what? I may have sourced the pictures. Why is yours normal? That's not the picture I gave them...
