I Learned to Flick Coins DANGEROUSLY HARD

I've always wanted to be able to pick up a random object and turn it into something dangerous like Jason Bourne with a brro pen or Jackie Chan with a bin or Sha of the Dead with some dusty records but what about a coin apparently there is a specific way you can flick them and turn them into these dangerous High Precision projectiles so I'm going to try to master it and to see how dangerous it really is the final test is going to be to smash this wine glass from the other side of the room with just a humble little coin and honestly I don't think it's possible so after scraping together all the coins I could find I found that some felt too thick some were a little too small and some were too powerful but 10p coins which is like the same as a quarter for my friends across the pond they felt just right so with my ammo ready and without watching a tutorial I gave it a quick [Music] go which made me realize I should watch a tutorial so I studied one and here's what I learned basically if you can snap your fingers you should be able to do it you place the coin between your thumb and your middle finger something like this then turn your hand to face away from you bend your elbow and then tilt your elbow down to the side and if you had a coin in there still all that stored up energy in your middle finger that's released when you snap should push the coin and fling it off and with these lessons etched into my brain when I gave it another go it did just that what so after chucking up a big window and deposit protecting blanket I practiced it a bunch and tried out different angles and techniques and I actually started getting the hang of it and it looked pretty sweet but I needed target practice that is a work of art right okay my goal with that square right there is to get four in a row anywhere in the Square I'm counting it all four in a row should be easy right easy ah after a load more attempts I realized you can actually do it with your arm in different angles but I found I could get the most power with my arm tilted to the side and it made it easy to use the elbow as a scope to aim down which just needed to be lined up with the square and so I started getting a little closer so I found if you hold it right on the edge like that and then a teeny bit down so that this finger is above the top so it's not like that it's like down there don't know just ows you to actually use this finger to push in that direction which is along the arm that is definitely the best way for me to hold it at least and by combining that with using my elbow as the scope I got closer and closer and I even got something in the Square but I committed to four in a row before I move on and I am a man of my word here we go one two three oh come on yes come on smooth as butter baby but before I can move on to trying to smash the wine glass I needed to do a little bit of arts and crafts so now I have a beautiful looking Target and the goal here is pretty simple I've worked on accuracy and now I'm going to work on Precision because the target of a wine glass head is actually pretty small so I'm going to need to be precise and would you look at that the inner white circle here is around the same size as a wine glass head what are the odds of that I'm going to try and just get three in a row inside this inner white circle and once I've done that I reckon my coin snapping is going to be precise enough and powerful enough to take on the wine glass baby Target ammunition let's go the power oh yeah and after slamming into the target but missing the Inner Circle a few times I played around with my arm and wrist angles some more and started really focusing on getting everything locked off like locking off my wrist at the perfect angle so that each coin snap was like the one before it and predictable and dialed in which led to this one oh okay I think it's time to introduce this guy my little friend to my little red friend the bullseye bullseye Time come on [Music] oh booye baby yeah smashed it I think that was I think it was a bullseye it was not even if it wasn't that's close enough for me I reckon my accuracy my Precision my power they're all there now I think my coin snapping is dangerous enough it's time to smash some glasses all right oh yeah all right wine glass all of this practice all of this learning of this completely useless skill has led to this one moment this coin or one of these coins is going to smash right into this wine glass and I'm going to prove that coins are a lethal weapon in the right hands these hands okay here we go attempt number one but after a few more near misses as I got my eye in for this new Target this [Music] happened and it's at this point where I started questioning if it was actually possible or maybe I needed to switch out to a thinner more easily smashable wine glass but instead of any of that I reloaded and lined up for one more [Music] attempt yes oh oh my god I didn't even realize it had happened look at it look at that oh my and the coin is still in there this is the most pointless skill but that was amazing I need to try and get it in slowmo now GoPro recording slowmo recording here we go that is not going to get old ever please yes recording let's have a look that looks sick that's so cool yeah slow-mo guys hit me up douche [Music]
