Your friends may have got you once or twice with the "I'm pulling my thumb apart" hand trick, but the magician in this video will get you literally every time.

Vincent has been posting a short video every day for 100 days showing off some sort of trick or skill and all of them are impressive. Day 84, however, was exceptional because it was way too real.

We've been watching this over over and over again to try and figure out how Vincent pulls off this flawless illusion, but we just don't know. Maybe you'll have better luck.
