Video: Breaking glass with a needle in slow motion

New Delhi : Throwing a needle through a pane of glass is a thing that requires rigorous training and to the point accuracy. With approximately 10 years of the training, a shaolin master attempts it to perfection and captures it on camera in slow motion.

A YouTube channel invited three shaolin masters to attempt the task. Master Bruce explained in the video, the ‘Needle Through Glass’ move is one of the 72 Arts of Shaolin and requires more than 10 years of training to successfully master the ability to concentrate one’s energy and then throw the slender needle, as if it were a dart, through the glass.

In the video Master Feng Fei performs the task. To make it easily noticeable, a red balloon is placed on the other side of the pane.

After a few practice moves, Master Feng Fei – standing just a few feet away from the glass pane – whips the needle forward and the balloon pops, seemingly of its own accord.

In the slow-motion video, it is shown how the needle was thrown with such a pace that it pierced the glass, not only sending shards of glass flying but also popping the balloon.
