You’ve seen magicians like David Blaine perform some incredible tricks. In this video, a sword is thrust through a man’s body and it doesn’t even phase him. Upon first glance it looks like yet another amazing magic trick.

But this isn’t magic, it’s science.

This is a clip from ‘The Indestructibles’ which is a science TV program like MythBusters. After a medical doctor and a professional magician view the video, both come to the conclusion that it is indeed, the real deal. For a body to withstand a sword, it would take months of pain to create a safe passageway or fistula.

This just proves how much a human body is capable of.
