Magician Dan White's Hidden Spike Trick with Jimmy Fallon
/ fallontonight
He absolutely nailed that magic trick !
The trick is that theres really a nail in every bag and he conceals the blood.
This is hilarious 💀
No he shows his hand and it would go through
hahahhah
dumbass
Will C don't give it away!
Is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
no
+Splinta_Xx Why do people don't get this? I mean they may but, adunno men, this is a palindrome or the other thing.
+Christian Grey Well, tac ocat.
+Christian Grey And "race car"
+Splinta_Xx fuck you you fuck
Gotta give the man extra points for coming up with such an original and creative act. I guess when you go on national television you just gotta pull out all the stops.
I saw this trick fail on some breakfast show.....
That was a prank one, it was meant to happen :)
It was real, from what I know. If you can cite a source showing it's fake, I'd be glad. I wish it wasn't real.
Yeah I remember that
It was real! That was polish breakfast show and that woman had hole in her hand. For some time she stopped hosting that show.
Yea! A girl was on it with some guy and the nail pierced through her hand!
so to get on jimmy fallon, all you have to do is showcase an old trick done by many magicians before? winner!
I know right! This one's old hat! It's been done before.
It's old but still good. I bet younger people have not seen it.
Yeah, I'm sure that I've seen this in Britain's got talent...
+phil chao
Exactly! I thought to myself why dude would go on national TV and do something people have seen so many times.
+Akshat Agrawal can u explain to me how they do it?
All of them had that wood block on the bottom, during the act he took the stick away so that nobody gets hurt and hid it in his arm. In the end he put the stick again in the last bag. Im not even a magician :v
+Lucas Cisneros kinda simple
+Lucas Cisneros but you can clearly see that he grabs the nail when he pulls it out off the bag, and that he didn't hide it in his arm.
also you can keep track of the bag because it has a crease at the bottom. that distinguishes it from the other bags. and it ended up not being chosen
+Lucas Cisneros But how did he remove the stick is the real question
+faboze I dunno honestly. maybe while his back was turned. there are lots of methods for this trick. not sure which one he used.
"We need a random person". That mf jumped 10 ft in the air 1:53
KNOWING HOW THIS TRICK IS DONE, I HAVE TO SAY THIS GUY MADE IT LOOK SEAMLESS. THEREFORE HE IS A GOOD MAGICIAN. WELL DONE MR
Hottest magician ever! Hubba Hubba! 😍😍😍
+MrSir Norway
Lmao you expected magic to be real? L.
Until u saw collins key
+PatsFan5101 what does lmao
+Lulu Al Wahaib laughing my a** off
+Lulu Al Wahaib it means lame-o
Loved the illusion. Don't know for sure how he did it, but the best guess would be nails in all of the bags laying horizontally. There's a reason for every move he makes. Turning around obviously is his opportunity to lay the upright nail down. At the end it would easy to reposition it vertically. That's also the reason he never reveals what is in every bag at the beginning. I do consider this magic even though we all know it's an illusion. Magic is a form of entertainment which he does brilliantly.
Magnetic spike that he detaches as he drops it in the bag, then reattaches at the end when reaching back into the bag? I dunno. That's my guess.
I really want to see that nail, detach into that tiny piece of wood😅😂
No, each bag contains nails. When he shows the bag at the beginning he just shows the bottom of the wooden box with a nail. Nails are not hard. When you thump it, it shrinks. The apple has a hole in the middle, that's why it goes through the nail so easily.
All the bags have a pin and a block. The pin is attachable and detachable to that block. The block with the pin he shows us in the starting, has its pin detached and kept horizontally when he places it in just like all other bags. The bag that remains, has its pin attached by him in the end.
You should have Apollo Robins on the show!!!
+Marcela Ortiz So who agrees????
+Marcela Ortiz Who gives a shit?
andreas Larsson I have no idea, Who? Who does give a sh*t? I guess we all do, i mean w al poop
Well aside from the haters who just want to insult people, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!
Nickolas Bell YEIII
What's up with all the hate. It's called magic "trick" for a reason. Why can't you guys just enjoy the performance for what it is.
I couldn't agree more
I wish to like the comment, but I cannot bring myself to break the 69......also I wholly agree with you
Because David Blain did this "trick" for real while making a rentgen picture of it and this dude is just a cheap version of David
Everyone here is so happy about coming early! But when I do, my girlfriend gets upset!
wow such originality well done good comment
:P
you got it
lol it happens
Daniel He Not anymore :(
Kinda sad how people reacting to magicians nowadays is purely just saying how it's fake and how they did it. That's like commenting on how you knew Leo was not actually getting destroyed by a bear in The Revenant. Just enjoy the act people. Our main goal as magicians is not to convince the world magic is real but to entertain them.
Well said. Let's just enjoy the show and the skill with which the trick is delivered/concealed. Maybe some people will want VAR installed in the future to make sure they are not "tricked". In which case, why do they bother watching in the first place? Apply the same kid logic and Star Wars would have bombed from day one, no?!
Sleight of hand, the nail is added as he pulls the block out. Played it a thousand times to see how he did it, you can almost see him prepare just as he places the hand inside, but he's so fucking good he does it all in one motion.
Lol he just had the spike in his cuff the entire time and placed it on he block when he reached in the bag
you seem confident. but no that can't be because we see him put the nail in the bag and close it
and then turn around to "mix" the bags up. I agree it was in his cuff and he put the nail back in at the very end
Josten Pena nope
the nail was under his sleeve the whole time and put it on the wooden block in the end, the wooden blocks have magnets in them to hold anything medal.
Mohamed AL sudani that’s how I perform this trick for my nephews and younger cousins
Wolę wersję pana Ząbka. Większe emocje. :D
I've seen this a few times. David Blaine did the same trick and even used the same line "My hands are my life" but he went a step further and actually stuck the pin through his hand, so yeah!
lol who cares about the trick! I love these because when Jimmy is unscripted or lost, he is a completely different person. he's more himself. it's adorable.
I like the idea of throwing a ball to randomly select a participant. That way, it essentially eliminates the possibility that there is a plant in the audience.
At 4:34 he picks the last two bags up, and can feel the weight of the block in the bag. After that, I think he manipulates Jimmy into choosing the correct bag.
i noticed that too but what about before that tho
The trick is that all of the bags have a nail on top of the wood block. When he puts the spike into the hole and put the block back into the bag. He takes the spike out of the hole and lays in on the wood. Once the last bag is chosen. He quickly puts the nail back into the hole when he reaches for it.
All of the nails are laid down on the wood block
How did he lay the nail down in the bag he put the first nail in, if Jimmy said it was upright?
+Emily Farries he did it while he was mixing up the bags
Every magician do their own trick to make it look more believable. He used slight of hand when he was mixing the bag. But that's the general concept of the trick. It's a pretty common trick
I agree that every bag having a nail would be ideal. However, if that was the case and he removed the nail from the one he was demonstrating before closing the bag then he could have had jimmy mix all the bags, turn them around and even insist on not touching them to ensure he doesn't mark one. Then for the final bag, reach in, place the nail in the hole and pull it out and you're a bigger hero.
_Schrödinger Cat Experiment_ but with a big nail in the bag.
Magician shows us there is a block in every bag. Magician then shows himself putting a nail in a block. Magician puts nail with block back in bag. In that instant however, with his hand hiding inside the bad, he takes out the nail and puts it lying down on the block. He shuffles the bags but what the audience does not know is that there is a nail lying on a block in EVERY bag. So he fearlessly slams every bag until there is one remaining. Then he puts his hand in the bag, reattaches the nail to the block, and then lifts it up out of the bag as if it were always standing upright all along.
No human is fast enough to attach the nail to the block of wood that fast. I would know since I perform this in my Magic Vlog #1 video and I can assure you they are a pain the ass to fit into the block of wood. I can also assure you I know the real method to the trick and this isn't even remotely close.
5:29 Jimmy was actually about to do the last one, even though it ended up being a joke. Good man.
These tricks always become a success, I wanna see one fail 😂😂😂
watch?v=qTR7qL5Ii8o
ruclips.net/video/n36ypycfBsk/видео.html
You can watch from the very beginning. There is an extra crease on the bottom of the bag that has the nail in it and that is exactly the same bag that has the nail in it at the end.
sharpy dot/mark on the one with the nail on the lip/fold. also a crease a bit to the right of center of the lip fold. Good way to keep track to keep your digits! also when jimmy was holding his wrist navigating, jimmy WAS moving toward the middle bag (the one with the nail) and the magician had to guide jimmy back to the one on the left... using the words ' no pressure' as if to say 'okay relax, stay here' - excellent crowd and assistant control!!
Poor fruit. It didn't deserve to die like that..
Dam vegans...
+ThatOneStuff vejans? What's that?
who is not eating meet, only fruits and vegetables
Hole and a magnet in each of the wooden blocks... he pulls out the nail while his back is turned and palms it back in (where the magnets snap it in place) when he goes in to remove the last block. The skill is in palming the nail in and out of the bag quickly and without being seen.
Pablo Garcia nope
I don't think this is done using the normal method of spikes at the bottom of all bags and sleight of hand taking the nail out. First, the final bag IS the exact bag he put the spike in, you can tell by a slight crease on the bottom edge that other bags don't have. Second, Jimmy checks the bag before it's closed and he doesn't put his hand in it before closing it. Watching at .25 speed, that bag is out of sight for half a second, but Jimmy would see if he tilted the bag. His hand also doesn't go deep enough into the bag to replace the nail.
I really think this is mentalism rather than sleight of hand. He knows which bag has the nail and he words his questions carefully so it always gives him an out. He doesn't ask the first two audience members which bag the nail is in, he asks them to pick a bag by number. The final two bags, he has Jimmy pick one, and if Jimmy picks the unsafe one, he smashes his own hand on the other one.
What about when jimmy switched them? He could of switched it to where he doesn't know where it is
MeiWebbify I can follow the bag by its apperance, so can Dan White. There are dozens of ways to mark the bags.
***** There's a reason he puts Jimmy in "danger" by having him hold the hand over the final bag - if Jimmy picks the actually dangerous one, Dan can say something like "OK, that's your bag, this one's mine." Maybe add some patter about who goes first, then he volunteers to go first and hits the bag without a nail. Now everyone's focused on Jimmy almost getting his hand impaled.
You're the only one to figure it out everybody else is still stuck on that other idea...bravo!
Nope
Answer to the trick: The nails can be attached and detached from the blocks. So every single bag has a block and a detached nail. In the bag in which he actually puts the nail in the block and verifies with Jimmy to see if it is upright, he detaches the nail once he is closing the bag and shuffling it (He held on to the nail with the bag over it, like his hand was over the part of the bag with the nail). He then slams every bag. For the last bag he just attaches it as he is reaching in to get it. Otherwise he could have simply just empty the bag out by tipping over the bag, which he didn't. He had to reach his hand in. The way the nail attaches to the wood is probably by a magnet, as well as a small hole, so that it is done both quickly and securely.
Even though there is a way to prevent people getting hurt if they choose "the one with the spike" they actually left the same bag where the spike was. You can see by the crease in the bottom right of the bag (it's the only one with it).
I think he felt the bags when he was "moving them"
But...the audience chose...idfk
This is a very famous trick, here's how he did it
1:09 took the nail out of the back, and put it up his left sleeve
in one of the million cuts where his arms aren't visible, he transitions the nail from his left sleeve to his right sleeve (or he simply had a second nail in his other sleeve)
6:08 he puts the nail back onto the wooden block, look at his weird finger-position as he puts his hand into the bag, it's suggesting that he's pulling something out of his sleeve
2:45 a witch in the building
😂
His shaking hand makes it more real even if we all know it is a trick and ends ok.
I knew it was that bag the whole time because it had the little crease at the very bottom as it did before he mixed them up.
Either way, he is still so handsome!
Yes!!! I saw that too I was about to comment this myself.
im with you, then it means the 2 audience members and jimmy were in, is just that..... they must know how to throw that ball really really well
+mougabo W
You should have done it then if you're that smart.
She's right, it's the obvious trick.
was waiting for another Fallon Hurt hand to talk about for weeks.
If you notice the last bag to be crushed. The top of that bag was the only one that had a wrinkle in it's top to indicate where the nail was. While the other bags tops were smooth. Slight bend in the paper to give way where the nail was. Too easy to figure out.
The nail looks like tinning solder, so it has like no strength to keep from buckling. All the bags have a "nail" in it. Don't know much about magic tricks, but this is my take on it. He pushes the "nail" through the apple without the impact. The impact creates a higher force and with a slight angle would make it buckle even easier.
look @6:03 when he throws the bag in the garbage. There's a wood block in the bag. You can see the shape at 6:05. They all have a block, and the pin is in his sleeve
4:34 Here is the "trick"
see the shape of every bag after he is hitting them..the square wood is in every bag and he puts the nail in the last one..David blaine's nail trick is very different
There is a block and a loose nail in every bag. When he puts the block in, he slips the nail out of the hole. When he puts his hand in the last bag, he places the loose nail in the block before removing it from the bag.
This is what David Blaine did
....sort of....David Blaine end this trick by putting the pick trough his hand....not by being all drammatic and putting that poor aplle on the pick......
and that is why David Blaine is the best
David Blaine said that he penetrated his hand with that spike so many times that his arteries or vaynes do not run through that guide he created in his arm. I don't think that anybody can do that just by watching a video or reading a book.
Was expecting him to pull a David Blaine and put the nail through his hand. Oh well, this will have to do lol.
To everyone complaining that it is the "oldest trick ever"....just enjoy the Entertainment goddammit. No shit Sherlocks, he isn't a real magician we all know!!!!!!
You're conflating issues. This is an overdone trick that's what the main complaint is. It's not original or creative. It'd be like a gymnast busting out a cartwheel for her routine. The other issue you mentioned is completely seperate no one is claiming that magic is real. We're claiming there's a lack of creativity and newness here.
+Nelly Searson
The problem is that it wasn't entertaining. At all.
+mikecantreed Yeah but anyone can do a cartwheel unless you're fat or in a wheel chair. I can guarantee you and 98% of the people in the comment section don't know how this trick is done.
It's not even that it was the oldest trick ever... But at least he could put his own spin on it. But no. Even the exact same jokes I seen a few others do. Lame showing for such a big stage.
+Nelly Searson there a few vids out there were this tricks goes wrong.. ouch.
all of the bags have the block of wood, the nail is put in the hole to assemble it as he pulls it out of the bag.
Most over done trick in magician history
I believe the most over done trick is pick a card any card xD
no, that's the quarter behind your earn or GOT YOUR NOSE!
+osskeet both classics
+ZAC115TV except there's literally hundreds of thousand of tricks that start like that.
+Plague Doc That's why I'm a huge fan of Derren Brown.
The bag with the nail was marked with an extra crease. He tracked it with the monitor. Jimmy Fallon was in on the trick. Notice when Jimmy has his hands over the bags deciding which of the two to pick he looks over to the side at I assume a production assistant and ask which is safe.
6:16 pfft what a liar his hand's not an apple
"Jimmy it's your turn." The look on his face...
Every single comment is negative. You're all jerks.
+Neil Richardson LOL! You're a jerk for calling people jerks!
+Stringy Fingers but YOUR a jerk for calling HIM a jerk lol
He stole the trick he deserves it
+Rafa rafita Jerk means wank
+Rafa rafita Did he claim it was his? did he teach it? Did he modify a old trick and make it better? THE ANSWERS(NO NO YES)
Well I do not claim to know how the entire trick is done but the 5th bag that he puts the nail in has a distinct crease right on the bottom right... 0:50
The nail was placed in the bag with the crease at the bottom. That crease was there for him to remember where he out the nail. He kept moving it to the middle. More than likely people would subconsciously choose the bag on the end and leave the centered bag alone. Towards the end he placed the danger bag away from Jimmy so Jimmy would choose the bag closer to him. Or Jimmy is in on the trick also (knowing where the nail is). I'm just theorizing here.
david blaine did it better, only cause he actually stuck the needle through his hand
firebaby7 yups..DB is fucking freaking awsome.
I remember the time he sewed his lips shut for a trick..
Carlos Spiceywhiener no he actually sticks it through his hand. He sticks it through a hole kinda like a piercing but is very precise. If he sticks the needle in just a little out of place he can seriously injure himself.
@Carlos Spiceywhiener illusion, mate you're delusional lol, he actually sticks the nail through, he has scar tissue in his hand so he can stick stuff through without blood or pain. Go check it out it's actually very difficult to do
@Carlos Spiceywhiener I don't think, I know, it's biology, go look it up it's very risky but it's real. The only trick is he can't just put it anywhere in his hand there's specific spots that don't have nerve endings
watching the Magic videos just to see jimmy freak out
this trick was very clear he knows where then nail was because he can feel it in his hands it should be heavier than there stand if you look you notice the bag bounced at 1:23, then to bring suspicion to the two bags in the left he changed the places of them,and to make us notice that even more Jimmy changed them back, and at 4:07 jimmy was moving Dan's hand but Dan didn't move his hand, little acting from jimmy he decided to go with that,lastly jimmy is suddenly sure that the one in the right is save.
Can some 1 tell me how he did it ? :
this is my thought on it . he took off or reblaced the nail or the whole bag when he did the mixing thing . and the whole game there was no nail in any bag , and at the end he does not let jiimy open the nail bag . he do it him self to placed the nail back on the wood thing .
and i think its rigged maybe with a magent inside it ,soi that only the nail slide from his underarm it stand up on the board.
he also was scread of the viwers in home that means the camera and slow motion stuff that could expose any fast hand tricks .
Two piece nail, 1-magnetic head in wood 2-nail without head. When he takes bags, he detach nail from magnetic head. At end he reaching nail and attaching to magnet and lifts up.
And I am like:: no no bro...please don't do it!!.. Forget the magic lol
This is 1, this is 2, this is 3, this is 4, this is 5.
Sir, name a number
Guy with the ball: 6
the nails and the wood are specially made that are very easy to hook on and very easy to unhook. when he place the nail back into the bag. he already unhook the nail so it laids flat inside the bag. he turned around to make sure all the nails inside each of the bags are all laid flat. so he wouldn't actually poke his hands when he hits it. and you see how at last bag he tiles the bag almost flat down 90 degrees. that's when he til the nail inside that bag on up right angle. and when he reach inside the bag. all he has to do is grab the nail by the head (which it's already on the up right angle) and push it down the wooden block. then brings it out. and put it on the table.. when he use the apple to hit it to show it's a real deal. he's actually using the apple to push it down more so the nail gets more secure onto the block. every bag has a block with a nail in it. and all of which are lay flat down. none of them would hurt his hand in any way. it's just at last bag that's when he just put the nail back on the up right angle. it's very easy to do. but as i always say. don't stop loving it just because you know how it's done or it's fake. actually .. love it more and use it to help your kids to bring out their imaginations. inspire the young. without this. this world wouldn't be as great as it is now.
That was a very believable and clean reveal at the end. I was anticipating him doing some awkward final part where he'd swap the bag.
EVERY BAG HAS A NAIL , He just put it on at the final one.
The trick is all the bags has a Nail in it, And these kind of nails must take a little bit of force to pull it down which hurt a little bit without going through the skin, But he has to hit hard and fast. So that's why the guy held his hand after every strike he made (Focus on 3:35)
if you want to see this trick go wrong look for "Center TV Zauberer mit nem Nagel Trick" on youtube. some one did it on live german television and it didnt work out.
Jon Allen did this on Penn and Teller's Fool Us years ago. I didn't realize 7 year old were up this late.
Hmm this a weird one usually the magician does not say can you confirm it is up right in the bag because the trick is to take the nail out and lie it flat when they place it back in the bag and then slide it back in when they open it to show it is still there at the end
Kinda wanted him to have a nail in his hand
As a magician myself I do quite enjoy all the speculation going on in the comments about how this trick is done. I have read the comment section for almost 10 minutes and I have yet to find anyone who has got it right. Everyone seems to believe that he pulls out the spike and puts it in his sleeve. Alltough I won't explain this trick to anyone because of the magicians code, I will tell you that he does not put it in his sleeve at any point during the trick.
My guess is that each bag has a trick collapsible spike. The collapsible spike has some sort of switch that makes it rigid. When he opens the last bag he switches something that makes the spike rigid. Again - just a guess.
It's the way he rookies the bags up
This trick is one of the easiest tricks out there.
Each bag has a block and a nail that can be assembled with one hand as he pulls it out of the bag.
I reccomend you to watch this trick performed in one of polish morning TV programmes. The presenter ended with a spike in her hand xD
YAAYAY I got it i think .The trick is Every bag or some bags have nails on it. look carefully every time he smashes the bag at 2:25 to 2:27 . Just set the speed of video at 0.25 you will know! So every time he is about to smash the bag look at his hand very carefully . he force his hand to go straight and and when his hand is very close to the bag the direction of hand is slightly towards his RIGHT! Plus the ring on his pinky is magnetic and the nail is already bent towards the pinky that is in his RIGHT! So the nail is already bent (not straight in the wooden block) again at 2:27 see his hand is still in his RIGHT direction. Again see at 4:25.
He knew which one it was because he kept moving the bags over
0:56 Jimmy turns into Borat for a second.
I think this trick is about the power of suggestion. What he says to the audience, they do.
It's nothing to do with the spike.
Connie Powell actually it's just simple slight of hand. He removed the nail at the start then placed it back in at the end
Youre all wrong
bag was marked! Jimmy was in on it. .lol
omg I saw this trick but from someone on instagram. it didn't end well 😭😭😭😷
else*
He knocks down the original nail when shuffling the bags, then drops in a nail as he reaches in.
I've read many of the comment below but I don't see anyone that noticed a crease at the bottom right of one bag. The bag with the nail in it. I saw that as soon as he put the nail in the bag. I'm thinking there was something else on the other side of the bag as well that he could see. I thought until the end that the crease was too obvious. So obvious that there would be a twist and he would push his hand down on all of the bags and the nail would not be in any of the bags.
not only that but the bag was half way open to
He wasn't the one that was picking which bags to crush
yes! I thought he would disappear the nail from all the bags XD
He was using subtle sub conscious cues to make people pick certain numbers without them even knowing it
Right before he throws the ball to the first guy he had said the number 2 three times in row and the guy picks the number 2. Then when the second guy picked he had been holding up 3 fingers and emphasized the the word three and surprise the guy picked three
Ijust want to say your my fav show thx The tonight show starring jimmy fallon crew you are guys the best ^^♥
Come on people! It's obvious that this magician, like myself, had a tragic accident where his hand (and possibly his arm) was severed. From then it's easy. Get an artificial limb, probably made of adamantium, and smash the shit out of the nails (all the bags have nails, thus he never used jimmy's hand). Upon contact, the nails are crunched and/or pulverized, and ta-da!
Puppet show tricks , ole David blain shuves a ice pick trait through his hand right in front of ya eyes he even lets you push it an pull it out , as the great Paul Daniels said , now that’s magic 😂
All the people trying to be Sherlock in the comments😂
I realized what the trick is to knowing where the nail is he can feel the weight when he moves the bags.
It was never in the bag! It was under his sleeve when he turned around and when he reached in he put the nail in the hole
Joshua Knevel nope
Hmm. There's three ways that I can think of that this truck could be done. 1 the bag with the nail in it is marked somehow. But he let the audience and Jimmy choose so that doesn't seem likely. 2 there was a nail in every bag that was loosely attached the the boards and would easily topple ofer when touched. Or 3. He removed the nail from the block when his back was turned ,hid it up his sleeve and r eturned it to the rigthful position at the end of the trick. It wouodnt matter which bag was left over. The trick would still work. 3 is the most likely
He used the same bag as the one that had the nail for sure. Someone already commented with the answer. The bag was marked. Watch it again and look to the bottom right of the bags. Only one has a noticeable crease in it. He knew which bag the nail was in and so did Jimmy. He got lucky with the audience but that is the point. They had a 1 and 5 chance the first time for them to guess and then it dropped to 1 and 4. It is all a show but the real answer is he knew all along which bag and so did Jimmy.
There is no wood at all in the other four bags. Notice when he throws the safe bag, you will see that nothing is there. And he moves the bags after every choice, so, he can know which one is safe by the weight and move away from the heavy bag.
If you look closely at the original bag that has the spike, you can see the crease at the bottoms of the bag. It looks different from the rest. Some how no one ever chose that bag. It stayed in the same bag the whole time. LOOK AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE BAGS CREASE.
The moment when you realize that the nail was in his sleeve. Good magician. Bad day. Lol
Euhm i'm no magician but i think i have a way.
he puts a nail in every bag, but without placing it on the wood box, so he shows the boxes but we don't know that there's already a nail inside of each bag.
He starts by showing a nail and places it on wood box and puts it in the bag, but taking the nail off while doing that.
Adds some acting drama, lets people chose any bag and at the end, he puts his hand in the remaining bag where there's already a nail and places it before taking the wood box outside of the bag.
Zimzim nope
It's a good guess. But it's not right.
When he turned back he marked the one which had nail in it.
i was waiting for him to put the needle in his hand like blaine, but I guess not
