How to do the Cairo Crack from "Raiders of the Lost Ark". I am using a 10 ft David Morgan bullwhip and a 6 ft 6 in kangaroo bullwhip from Trinity Whip Company.
Dude! AdamCWM, you look like my hero, Indiana Jones. You're a Badass with that whip. Outstanding Whip Cracking! You should teach me how to do that, like my hero, Harrison Ford aka Indiana Jones.👍
Hi, Adam! I have a question: How dangerous do you consider a whip can become if used against a human? It's a question I've been having since a long time ago because of movies, videogames and that sort of things. Thank you!!!
If you are just beginning be more concerned on how much it will hurt you while learning. Just be aware of the potential injuries if you underestimate the whip while learning. A whip is incredibly dangerous but should not be considered weapon.That isn't the point. You are more likely to hurt yourself than fight off an attacker. If some one is hit it will be devastating but whips are about sound, control and style. Its about a dangerous performing art. When directing cattle not one bull is hit. You move cattle by directing the lead bull by the noise. It is extremely dangerous but it is not a fighting weapon like in the movies. Does this help answering your question? I had many and wanted answers to understand. If you are just learning please go slow.
David Armes We tried it once and it didn't do much. Some would like to think a single whip crack in the right place could be lethal, but I am pretty sure it couldn't be.
hey adam, I use and make nylon whips similar in size and style as the black whip in this video. Is that leather or nylon? Also when you say 6 ft, is that the true overall or is that 6ft on the thong to fall tip. it seems my 6ft whip is shorter than yours lol.
Adam, I have a question. I am playing in musical called Jesus Christ Superstar as a armyman. In one of the last scenes I need to whip Jesus, but there is a problem doing whip cracks. I have limited space for it, my head is about 11 inches from ceiling, and I have a wall behind me about 20 inches. I use 6 feet whip. Could you recommend me some way to crack the whip with this limited space?
This is great! I bet your neighbors love when you practice.
I never considered a whip as a defensive weapon….Well Done .
Never imagined, whipcracking could be so artistic! Stunning work!
this is great man, you’re really helping me learn. i finally got my 10 foot kangaroo hide to crack on the flick yesterday🤗
This is awesome Adam! Nice job explaining everything and making it look so easy!
Do a follow up while playing the Indiana Jones theme with your harmonica!
2:31 wow it's going to take a while to get that proficient :)
I agree but lets keep practicing.
I love watching you work. Damn!

Adam, you rockin that whip
It is amazing watching you do your cracks. I'd love to see some of your moves shot with a high speed camera.
Thanks Adam, a new crack to master.
do you use ear protection?
ok. that flow was really awesome
Damn! I need to get a whip! (several whips it seems)

you look amazing when you did the cairo crack
In India I saw somebody doing continues Cairo cracks in front and in the back... I would love to hear your tips on that one!
I spent two weeks in a hospital after trying to repeat the last sequence
I want to laugh but I have a few nasty mistakes.
You sir are one cool Gentleman
This guy could give a Belmont a run for their money
I love your combos 💖
Amazing , stunning , inspiring
Harrison Ford would be unemployed if you auditioned for the part of Indiana Jones
hahahaahahah AMEN!
Agreed
You are the reason Harrison Ford wants to make another Indiana Jones
Imagine pickin on someone for a fight in public and they whip this shit out, you already know you aint gonna leave walkin
thats bad ass!!!
Adam should change his name to Jedi Master. Lol
Badass
Great video!
This is amazing! Just a question adam, do you think it can be use as a weapon for zombie apocalypse? Just wondering :)
Do a whip wrap on their legs, take em down, then move on for the killer move :P
Also can protect you from vampires
Probably good to keep your food safe from humans.
Very cool!
Damn can I pull off that last combo with an 8 footer?
I find a 10ft whip to be slow...my preferred length is 8ft whip I find it to be faster and more accurate than a 10ft
I'd like to see what you could do to ballistics gel with a whip.

sidney beach It is kangaroo, 6 ft 6 in plus a 26 in fall
AdamCWM yeah I see now that it's roo, thanks for the info it will help alot for comparison. I'm also learning a lot of cracks from ya, thanks man.

Mark dmnd That is a very small space. I would just swing a flogger and have the stage manager make sound effects.
My neighbours dont like my whip Haha
Adam, you need to work on the feet, Indy has a sexy right foot back step as he cracks the Cairo!
Greynerd I was pretty sure I did that several times in this video. Maybe I am paying attention to a different foot move than you are.
Personally I called it the open cattleman’s crack cause I didn’t know the name
awesome
Any help would be great
So I've been doing the Cairo Crack instead of the Cattlemen's crank xD
would the side flick, Cairo, cattlemens crack combo work with a 4ft whip?
Stayton Thompson Probably
AdamCWM thank you sir... are you doing the Texas renfest this year?
Stayton Thompson, yes, I will be at the Texas Renaissance Festival this year.
cool
this is fuckin cool, he could take down a group of thugs with in seconds with that thing

HalfKraft

Yes, I make my own poppers.
