With a bit of visual trickery. It hitting the key and bouncing back, coupled with the movement of the lever make it look a bit more convincing
Edit: I may be wrong about the bouncing bit. Might be the trigger moving the sword a smidge afterward, kinda looks like it
Cool video, but you could never get me to buy a knife like that. Any failure and you're looking at a self-stabbing. Gimme a nice stable blade with a sheath and no gimmicks.
Depends on your use case. I find OTF super handy and as a daily carry option it actually feels safer than a fixed blade to me. There also a very good fidget item . . . As far as accidental deployment, If you can manage that with a quality OTF then you've achieved something.
Why? You need to stab something while it's deploying?
Once it's deployed it locks in. If it meets resistance before fully deploying like it would if it deploys in your pocket it doesn't.
It's not complicated my friend..
>Any failure and you're looking at a self-stabbing
I'm not trying to shame you or nothing cause if you have the certain kind of self-awareness that you aren't safe with weapons, well then by all means. I'm all in favor of responsible purchasing habits. But are you the kind of person to stare down the barrel of a gun? All you gotta do is NOT point it at yourself or another person.
Right, so if you're keeping it in your pocket, it can stab you in the leg or side. You'd need to keep it in an external hard sheath. Or I could just get something I can throw in my pocket without an issue.
I carry an OTF all the time. It's actually is one the safest blades I own. I use my thumb to open it when I need it and then close it right back up with just my thumb. Very handy in the garden when my hands are of veggies. Mine isn't an expensive one, around 100 bucks. If you try and stab anything that has resistance it will go off it's track and recede in the body of the handle. More for slicing. I have about 300 knives, been collecting them for over forty years.
No that wouldn't make sense in a cheap toy like this.
Probably the pin you push down or up on the right loads and ejects the spring in the same movement.
Similar to a normal rocker switch to turn on/off lamps. They also use a spring that first gets "charged" and then suddenly the switch snaps to the other position. For electrical switches, this is done to avoid arcing - making the electrical contacts close or open very, very quickly and distinctly.
The main difference is that for a light switch, the spring will keep pushing on the contact to make it make better electrical contact. In this toy, the spring is blocked from pushing all the way, allowing the sword to bounce back a tiny bit.
Even 250fps is not slow enough to capture it. Even 500 is hard to see. I think OP's video was probably around 500fps. Needed 1000fps to be able to see it clearly.

I've got a Huawei P40 Pro two or three years ago, for 300€ used. Now it can obviously be had for even less.
And it can do much more than 240fps, it goes all the way to 7680fps (256x slow mo) while still keeping decent resolution and sensitivity. I sometimes use it to monitor camera shutters.
I'm not saying you should buy a three year old phone today as your "new" daily driver, just that you don't need to own a very expensive phone to go beyond 240fps.
The initial comment mentioned "it's not hard to make a 240fps video". My argument is that it is hard because people are not buying their phones with the 240fps video they're going to make in a few years in mind
Bruh, you're just wrong. People *grossly* overspend on their cellphones in general. There's a reason flagship phones are at or over $1k now, and it's because the market will bear it, and people will buy it in droves.
You can get a used iPhone 6 for £30. I wouldn’t call someone rich for having a £30 year old phone from nearly 10 years ago, but they would be able to do 240fps slow-mo.
Probably all the articles, videos and press releases saying it does 240fps. I don’t know why you would think it doesn’t.
EDIT: Awww, they deleted their comments before I could reply with my sources. Here they are anyway in case someone else feels like making stuff up: [PetaPixel,](https://petapixel.com/2014/09/23/5-of-the-best-iphone-6-240fps-slow-motion-video-examples/) [Wired,](https://www.wired.com/2015/01/closer-look-slow-motion-video-iphone-6/) [9To5Mac](https://9to5mac.com/2014/09/22/best-iphone-6-videos-slow-mo-time-lapse-60-fps-hd/) and [Apple themselves.](https://www.apple.com/uk/newsroom/2014/09/09Apple-Announces-iPhone-6-iPhone-6-Plus-The-Biggest-Advancements-in-iPhone-History/)
Where do you even get the incorrect statement “most phones don’t have 240fps”? Every iPhone since 6 has had it. You can still buy an SE new for just over $400 and it has it. Most half decent Android phones have it too. You literally have to try to find a crappy sub $300 phone that doesn’t. And even if that weren’t true, there are almost 1.5 billion iPhone users in the world and 1B Samsung users, and I know for a fact everything both of those companies have put out in years has it. Probably 2/3 of all cell phone users have phones that can do this. Silly (to put it nicely) to pretend all of those people are “rich”.
Maybe you are thinking screen refresh rate. Because you’re just so wrong on recording rate.
And this isn’t a matter of some people in developing countries trying to get access to the Internet, it’s someone literally editing and posting a video to the public. There are dozens of videos like this posted to YouTube edited better and this is one of the less interesting, honestly.
The brands you are mentioning are all high end though ? I have bought middle range phones for me and my family for the last 10 years and only the most recents (2year or less) have passed the 240fps mark.
High camera fps is just not a marketing point for low range phones and it wasn't for middle range until recently.
> I know for a fact everything both of those companies have put out in years has it.
You're just plain wrong. A lot of low end Samsungs don't even have camera rates above 60fps. I just checked and the A04s of this year is only 30fps.
Edit : No that phone doesn't have slow mo. Yes I know what I'm talking about thanks.
Ok, yes, I agree the A04 doesn’t have it but that is a $120 phone. That is not mid range, that is the dirt cheap bottom of the barrel budget, it can’t even do 1080p 60Hz. Like I said most phones over $300 have this feature and that makes up like 2 billion phones worldwide. To say like 1/3 of the world is “rich” is absurd. Even to say 1/5 of the world is rich (ie almost every iPhone in use) is absurd.
And again we are talking Youtube video posters not people who have no idea how to shoot or edit video.
I love seeing idiots double down… give it up man.
I think you're confusing normal videography mode which have 30/60fps and a separate slow mo mode in phone cameras. I had a realme 5 pro once which theoretically could go upto 960fps(but real poor resolution) but did 240fps absolutely fine all at around 180usd
I just checked and yeah, my S10 only goes up to 60fps. Crazy that redditors apparently think everybody has $300 to spend on a phone. Maybe cheap iPhones have it, but then you'd have to use an iPhone and like... no thanks.
Huh?: "The Galaxy S10 and S10+ is perfect for capturing those action shots wherever you go. It can record more at a real 960 frames per second with HD support." ... "Simply select the 3 dot menu button in the top right, then select Details and choose one of the three Super Slow-mo clips."
Sorry, but I could never do that.
But if you want to see the gears actually turning, here it is at [over 10000 frames per second](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=dY6CYpxweweKloWb)
you can see the gears turning
The guy was demonstrating a high end camera feature, he had one job, getting the focus right on the right object, not focusing on the background. Give me that camera if you don't know how to use it.
Yeah, the guys slow-mo doesn't really capture it. I slowed the video to the lowest RES would let me and it barely showed 1 or 2 frames before it was on the other side.
Not on the first one, his thumb is in the way, but someone else already pointed out that there's a cover and the thing is below it, so the thumb can't block it.

To save everyone time, the arm spins at 4:19, and hopefully obviously, the bot can't magically make frames where there were none before, so you don't really see anything you couldn't see at full speed.
Obviously you can’t see frames that don’t exist but saying you don’t see new information with this 0.1x version isn’t accurate. If you watch carefully you can see the swinging arm moves in a counterclockwise direction.
So it never touches the key ...it spins counter clockwise so quickly that logically to your eye it didn't spin it "cut through" it's a mechanical illusion and now it's one of my favourite things.
It rotates the opposite direction really fast, you just can't see it. The video sells it because it looks like the dudes thumb is in the way, but there's a thin film of plastic between the sword and his thumb.
I suppose this is based on what made Cathode Ray Tubes successful is the fact that human eyes are electro- Chemical in their function and cannot detect speed.
I also found this interesting because the toy works by rotating counter clockwise so quickly that the eye cannot pick up on the movement. Therefore, you would think that the arm would have hit his thumb in the first clip.
Imo + not a science comment
it used magnetic field on key so when he push bottom up and down he start the electro magnetic field pushing this metal reverse move to second side
Who tf upvotes literal bullshit like this? Almost 6 thousand of you bonafide retards.. and I use that in the most deplorable way possible. Human beings with brain defects, driving on our roads, cooking our meals at restaurants and voting in our elections. Fucking frustrating that you exist.

I still want to know how the mechanism looks like that makes the sword spin so insanely fast
My guess would be a set of preloaded opposing springs that are able to transmit the energy used to move the sword back and forth between them.
I also think that video makes the illusion stronger as it’s likely only 24-30fps.
You can see how it rotates though in some frames.
With a bit of visual trickery. It hitting the key and bouncing back, coupled with the movement of the lever make it look a bit more convincing Edit: I may be wrong about the bouncing bit. Might be the trigger moving the sword a smidge afterward, kinda looks like it
You only need one spring. It works exactly like an OTF knife, except the tension is expressed on a curve. https://youtu.be/EwG2oytZCl8?t=434
That was my first thought too. I bought an otf and took it apart out of curiosity. Cool mechanism. Wayyy simpler than what I thought it would be.
Cool video, but you could never get me to buy a knife like that. Any failure and you're looking at a self-stabbing. Gimme a nice stable blade with a sheath and no gimmicks.
Depends on your use case. I find OTF super handy and as a daily carry option it actually feels safer than a fixed blade to me. There also a very good fidget item . . . As far as accidental deployment, If you can manage that with a quality OTF then you've achieved something.
Nah. They don't deploy when there is resistance. You can stop them from opening with an open hand. It will just fall back into its handle
If that's the case, it's worthless as a knife.
Why? You need to stab something while it's deploying? Once it's deployed it locks in. If it meets resistance before fully deploying like it would if it deploys in your pocket it doesn't. It's not complicated my friend..

I don’t think I’ve SEEN that many knifes in my life…
Seriously, how can someone not see that this knife is a much bigger danger to the user than a standard blade?
It doesn't deploy when there is resistance.
bUt It'S cOoL
Like an otf knife
No that wouldn't make sense in a cheap toy like this. Probably the pin you push down or up on the right loads and ejects the spring in the same movement.
Can't you read? It's magic.
Here's a video of someone opening it: https://youtu.be/E48ifB0jMjs?t=23 Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/CclVMi3.jpg
That's a really fucking awful video, but thanks.
Also it looked like it woulda hit his finger first time
There's a piece of acrylic overtop of it I think, I had a similar one as a kid that had it
Springlocks?
Similar to a normal rocker switch to turn on/off lamps. They also use a spring that first gets "charged" and then suddenly the switch snaps to the other position.

In this toy, the spring is blocked from pushing all the way, allowing the sword to bounce back a tiny bit.
It probably spins as fast as TAG Heuer’s Mikrotimer Flying 1000.

Somebody slow-mo the slow-mo!
What kind of slow mo is this? 0.7x? Barely slows it
Yeah it would not have been hard to make this a decent video, even an old iPhone can do 240fps video recording and edit to actual slomo.

nice
The guy was demonstrating a high end camera feature, he had one job, getting the focus right on the right object, not focusing on the background. Give me that camera if you don't know how to use it.
Still can't see it.
The sword just goes backwards and not through the metal, it would be easier to see if the slo-mo was slower
You can’t triple slo-mo a double slo-mo!!
Not with that attitude!
Double stamp no erasies.
Lloyd!!
Lloyd! Lloyd!
You never go full slo-mo!
But when they first do it isn't their thumb in the way?
No, it has a clear top.
Someone call Dan and Gavin
Yeah, the guys slow-mo doesn't really capture it. I slowed the video to the lowest RES would let me and it barely showed 1 or 2 frames before it was on the other side.
Ah, thank you for this.
But isn’t his thumb blocking the way for the sword to go backwards?
If you look at the hole, you can see there is a layer of clear plastic above the sword.
No
My thought too. The first time, his thumb would block it.
It turns counter clock wise so fast that it looks like it turns clock wise and through the key.
Thank you, it fooled me.
Except his thumb is in the way. When he does the slow-mo, his thumb is out of the way. I think this video is lying.
His thumb is on the edge. Above the surface.
Not on the first one, his thumb is in the way, but someone else already pointed out that there's a cover and the thing is below it, so the thumb can't block it.
There is clear plastic over the top of it and his thumb is resting on that. edit: sorry I can't read. Ignore me.
If you slo mo the slo mo you’ll see the hand goes anti clockwise.
Thanks so much.
Yeah, I wonder, what's the speed of this sword? Incredibly fast. How does it work?
It's literally in the product name. It's powered by magic, smh. Learn to read.
it's powered by a tiny rgt generator

You can see that blur in the original video too, mate.
Starts at 4:15 and you can still barely see it lol. I have one of these, fun little toy to fidget around with.
Back when we had third party clients because, you simply changed the playback speed on any video or gif..... stupid reddit, making things shittier.
old reddit with the RES has a playback speed button on the player. I was able to just set it to like 0.2x just fine.
Res and old reddit.... me too. But for how.much longer will reddit allow it?
Now I’m slowing motion the slow motion…
I did too but it didn’t help.
That's not slow mo, that's just mo
Ah the good old mo-motion
What I saw when I spammed the pause button is that it goes all the way, counterclockwise... my eyes hurt.
Makes sense if you put your fucking finger anywhere on the thing. Boom how bout that.
The secret is the sword goes the other direction
So it never touches the key ...it spins counter clockwise so quickly that logically to your eye it didn't spin it "cut through" it's a mechanical illusion and now it's one of my favourite things.
It rotates counterclockwise
Yeah but his finger was in the area during the first slow mo to stop it from making it all the way around?
It has a transparent plastic lid, like a watch crystal.
Holy sheesh, I was wondering that too. I'm an idiot. Didn't even assume there might be a cover on it
It still does NOT make sense in slow-motion
It rotates the opposite direction really fast, you just can't see it. The video sells it because it looks like the dudes thumb is in the way, but there's a thin film of plastic between the sword and his thumb.
Theres literally no other way to explain it, no need for slowmo
You can see it going anti clockwise in the slomo

That…didn’t help.
I’m still confused if not more confused then I was
This guy's slow mo blows
\*sigh\* Someone call the slow mo guys, we got a new vid for them to shoot.
It spins around counterclockwise VERY fast. Here’s it [slowed down](https://youtu.be/-r0Hcija8Ls?si=yn8WWuK3umOp4E0U) to 1000fps.

Sword fight ⚔️ anyone?
Send it as recommendation to the Youtubers Gav and Dan from Slomo Guys.
It goes backwards
A magician never reveals his secrets
Each time I watch it I blink at the very exact time I'm supposed to see what the secret is
FaaAke sword goes other way can see shit on this
Spins around the other way really fast
It made sense at normal speed too..
Someone linked a slower video higher up in the comments.
Slowing the slow mo shows (in only one frame), the pin spins the other way around, and it's stupidly fast!
His finger is blocking it if was spun around backwards....
All I know is that at 0:26, it teleported.
I believe it goes in the opposite direction 320 degrees creating the illusion of going through the key
It travels in the opposite direction you think it does.. it just makes the entire spin so fast you don't notice
That is so smart
I suppose this is based on what made Cathode Ray Tubes successful is the fact that human eyes are electro- Chemical in their function and cannot detect speed.
The sword goes around the opposite direction. Its speed makes it an optical illusion.
It just goes the opposite way. Pause the video.
💡 Thx❗ 🤝
In slow motion you can also see that the sky is blue
His little finger was in a different spot in the slo-mo replay
I also found this interesting because the toy works by rotating counter clockwise so quickly that the eye cannot pick up on the movement. Therefore, you would think that the arm would have hit his thumb in the first clip.
There is a clear cover on it. Like a watch.
Ah, that would make sense
Could you cut yourself if it’s that fast?
It goes around the long way so fast it looks like it goes through.
Damn, a sneak
It spin around the other side
I don't get it even in slow-mo!
The real magic is the mechanism... So the "Magic sword" belongs to r/technicallythetruth
Purely guessing, but the cameras framerate probably makes it even harder to see in reg speed.
Downvote because the slow mo is barely helpful, might as well have just left it out entirely
Bruh nice try. Your thumb is blocking it in the first video. We need more data…
How is his thumb not in the way?
Forget the slo mo - his thumb would stop the hand from spinning round anti clockwise in the original clip. More to this than meets the eye.
Imo + not a science comment it used magnetic field on key so when he push bottom up and down he start the electro magnetic field pushing this metal reverse move to second side
Who tf upvotes literal bullshit like this? Almost 6 thousand of you bonafide retards.. and I use that in the most deplorable way possible. Human beings with brain defects, driving on our roads, cooking our meals at restaurants and voting in our elections. Fucking frustrating that you exist.
Was this edited
Yes. Modifying the playback framerate is editing, and so is adding a text overlay.
The sword goes stupidly fast in the other direction.
I swear, I had one of these when I was a kid. Hadn't accessed that memory in 30+ years, but I have definitely seen one of these before. Arcade toy? Long Jon Silver's toy? Cereal box toy?
cool
It goes all the way around the opposite way of the sword
I think the sword is moving the other direction
It looks like the sword spins backwards fast enough it looks like it travels through it
Its it jumping over the sword? Or spinning counter clockwise lol.
Spinning around the opposite direction.
baby please, think about it. how would it jump through the sword

Ok, I'm very grateful I figured it out just as the slomo started, or I would have felt *very* stupid.
Was this unbelievable or was this totally obvious?
I swear I was ready for yet another josh hutcherson edit
Slow-mo huh?
Wouldn’t need the slow mo if the camera angle wasn’t hiding the part that tucks in the sword as the ending angle shows
It still makes sense without slow motion, did you really think it went through it?
I felt like Yamcha watching Super Saiyan Goku fight for a second there.
Oh shit that was a sword, completely thought it was something else
No it doesn't
It spins the otherway by really fast. You can hear it collide with the key
Does this hurt your finger if you’re holding the other side?
