It's all part of the act.. those locks are rigged so he can easily pick them then the chainsaw isn't even a proper chainsaw it's cutting through some light wood. The one with the circular saws he did on the Audition I believe the water filling up was a distraction and again the saws only fell down when he span himself around again another safety mechanism.
When Matt Johnson said "I didn't pay attention to school, so this is what I do for a living" I felt that. Just to be clear, I'm a bachelor's degree holder.
The act is setup for the blades to swing down once the chair is setup right again, the level of the water has nothing to do with it. All he has to build is build suspense and look flustered.
I can relate to the escape artist. But the straight jacket is me desperately trying to flee through my back door when my mother-in-law visits unexpectedly ( and she’s the saw)
I’m not sure if I’m right….it’s just a thought….the saw came down only when he pulled himself up. So the water tank didn’t trigger the drop, they body weight and movement did. So he is always safe cause regardless how full the tank is, the saws are coming down the second he flips his body (so he is always safe)….it’s just a thought and I could be wrong
🤦🏼♂️13:50 Bro was so preoccupied & concerned about all the equipment & prepping for this stunt that he forgot safety goggles!🤷🏼♂️ All that sawdust is falling down on his face & into his eyes!😧

The escape artist is a good actor- the trick is designed to release the saws by the rotation of the pivoting table he is secured to- In other words it is not dangerous. All escape artist tricks are designed this way.
That seems to be exactly what he said. If he didn't put himself upright thus pivoting the table the saws would have come for him. I think all escape artist tricks involve the very real risk of being seriously injured, even if not death, as has been proven time and time again. Otherwise, they would get no kick from it themselves
The most important part to know about that contraption is that it can't actually "cut" somebody to a point it would be dangerous or serious. The sawblades have the actual cutting teeth removed and are sanded smooth, they could only do slight to medium blunt force injuries, basically giving him a bruise on his chest or back if he were still strapped in when they fell. Also the "incrediblly fast" rpm of 2000 is a third of what they spin at in a real machine. The machine they are driven by, is the housing of a battery powered angle grinder, but it has all it's original guts removed and a slower, weaker motor put in. The chain is also very loose, it will most likely hop of or jump the sprocket if the blades were stuck, IF the rebuild angle grinder could even deliver enough torque to jump the chain. As soon as you have even a sligh tunderstanding of how this works, it doesn't work for you as a trick anymore. It's basically just acting like you're in danger. The hangign and drowning is another story of course ;)
I freaking hate my subconscious mind , i know that this video uploaded so nothing going to be happen but when it comes i forget everything and get anxious like mad
its fake, the saws only come down when the weight is lifted off the chair. It has nothing to do with the water and the lines, and maat johnson has performed so many escapes and he has succeeded in all of them. I think he does a great job of creating suspense and fear.
When Matt Johnson was doing it I usually don’t get nervous when people do dangerous things like this but I actually got super scared for this one I love SIMON COWELL ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ SOOOOOOOOO MUCH
I hope people realize that this acts are not actually dangerous and they just appear to be. They will never allow an actual dangerous act to be performed in front of so many people.
It was planned. They cannot come down until he bend and move away with the whole mechanism. So until he moves back up then only bucket comes down and the mechanism lets them to come down. But good stuff 👏
The saws don’t and will not start to fall until he starts to stand up lol. No magician or “escape artist” actually involves danger. There’s always failsafes. At least, any decent ones…
Matt Johnson is like. He shows us how to fight dead even if it is really really freaking close to you omg i have huge respect for this guy 🙂👏👏😎👍🙂🤩☺️👏👏👏👏👏
I know everything about his escape is dangerous and deadly, but if you really see this escape acts what they usually do is the same they escape out of a handcuff or a clothe, the one thing that changes is the danger like the fire, blade or drowning. Any way its amazing.
Those blades will not fall unless bro stood up and get out of there. Rotating upright is the trigger. The 2 lines are just for suspense. They want the audience to be scared. It's their intention to scare. You really believe they haven't done this before with all his assistants & that that equipment? 😂
For me the circle saw escape looked more like, the saw releasing mechanism was with the plate where the artist was on, than the water container. So no matter how much weight you put on the clear container the circle saws will not get released until the man is off the platform.. 😬
For all those wondering. The water doesn't control the saw blades up. When he got free and sat up, it triggered the latch to be released, allowing saws to fall Your welcome.
✨This is the type of thing one should never do. If one has a wife, children, and other Loved Ones to mourn them. Otherwise, they are merely a highly talented jerk.✨
I understand when escape artist's say this is what we do as it's all we know I understand why they do it to entertain people but is your life worth risking just to entertain someone for a couple of minutes when you could loose your life
Escape artist tricks are built not to kill anyone. The first escape artist with the water filling up the tank is a distraction. The water has nothing to do with the spinning blades coming down. It is designed that the spinning blades come crashing down when he sits up right.
Terry saying "do not try this at home" ruined my plans for the weekend 😔
HaHaHa !!!
😀😅🤣
Damn same
Wtf 😂😂
Hello
Matt Johnson is the most consistently - come - very - close - to - being killed or seriously maimed escape artist I've ever seen!
You can literally see the fear in his face before and after the act. Much props to him.
@@r1c0laa He's an excellent actor. So yes, props to him.....and his props.
It's all part of the act.. those locks are rigged so he can easily pick them then the chainsaw isn't even a proper chainsaw it's cutting through some light wood. The one with the circular saws he did on the Audition I believe the water filling up was a distraction and again the saws only fell down when he span himself around again another safety mechanism.
If I was a judge I wouldnt wanna say yes because he could do it again
Yes it's all acting lol he never in a position to be killed lol
I was literally screaming and couldn’t breath for the escape artist 😭
😂😂 Heidi and sofia bring the screams
I really thought he wasn't going to make it in time 😅
Its just an act
Noooooooooooo
These guys are taking so much risk in doing these things. They really deserve a golden buzzer
Yeah
Pls this is not a talent to me it just a skill
Totally agreed they deserve a really big fat golden buzzer
No lol.
@@preshy1146 right it’s a rlly hard thing to do and rlly hard to learn being an escape artist is a talent and a skill
When Matt Johnson said "I didn't pay attention to school, so this is what I do for a living" I felt that.
Just to be clear, I'm a bachelor's degree holder.
hahaha
yeah
My favorite one was the matt johnson both of the escapes he did was amazingk
Judges should give golden buzzers for these acts 😳
Judges don't "just" give golden buzzers. May be they had exhausted the number allowed per season
I agree that the judges should give golden buzzers to them
These numbers shouldn’t be allowed in this family program. They’re very dangerous and I feel anxious 😥 by just watching it 🙄
fr
They probably didn't have any more golden buzzers Because it is a limited amount of times they get to press it
The first act tho when he was able to get out sofia screamed "GET UP GET UP" my heart was racing, 'boutta jump out my chest 😂😭
Simon should be a comedian. His reactions alone would make me die of laughter.
I agree, he’s funny!
And David walliams
Totally
See Matt's face, he really scared, but he still dare to do those things, this man is INCREDIBLE
Courage isn’t about not being afraid, it’s about being afraid but persevering anyway
I was gonna try it but thankyou Terry you opened my eyes 😌
Terry Crews - "Do not try this at home." - 2:59
Me - "Okay sir, let me put my serrated blade device away."
He deserves a Golden Buzzer for God's sake!
Who?
I hate it when judges give singers the golden buzzer when actual talent like this deserves it. I’m tired of the sob stories always getting it.
Yep 😢
The look on Simon face on the first one was priceless
I love Sofia her reactions are priceless
I know something I'd give her that would cause a genuine reaction.
@Hello Debra ,how are you doing today
She's always so beautiful, funny and watchable.
Goodness yes!
These acts SCARED me to DEATH... but awesome acts, if they don't deserve the golden buzzer I don't know who does
Ikrrr
ikrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Haha stupid singers
Ikrfr
Me too
5:30 Simons face was priceless
😂
He was clearly not sure if the guy would make it
Yes, it does not have its price. | Миру мир!
Deer in the headlights
Lol
The 1st act the dude said we have not done it enough😦 This dude is wild lol
You know there wasn’t a chance that was dangerous lol
The act is setup for the blades to swing down once the chair is setup right again, the level of the water has nothing to do with it. All he has to build is build suspense and look flustered.
I Knoow! I cant bare that guy 🤮
they are risking they’re life. They deserve a golden buzzer
10:14 camera man looks the least shocked out of all of them. And he has to film 💀😂
THEY DESERVE GOLDEN BUZZER
I can relate to the escape artist.
But the straight jacket is me desperately trying to flee through my back door when my mother-in-law visits unexpectedly ( and she’s the saw)
To the one person who is reading this: You’re worth something, you are a lovely and unique person!
Its like watching a SAW movie in real life.. 🥵🥵
✨The " circus geek" was the more exciting of the two.✨
Matt Johnson acts to much he obv knows how to escape , it’s the drama of pretending to be scared lol
Hi how are you going
I’m not sure if I’m right….it’s just a thought….the saw came down only when he pulled himself up. So the water tank didn’t trigger the drop, they body weight and movement did. So he is always safe cause regardless how full the tank is, the saws are coming down the second he flips his body (so he is always safe)….it’s just a thought and I could be wrong
You are right, I don't think he would actually risk his life just for the show.
Noo oo... Rite its not the water this guy has done this😂
How would you explain the one with the saw then?
That’s why we never judge a book by its cover he did so good I was amazed
I believe the saw won’t come down until he gets off the seat
You got it!
Yes , atleast ..someone got it
مرحبا
But it continued to go down when he escaped...
YES
🤦🏼♂️13:50 Bro was so preoccupied & concerned about all the equipment & prepping for this stunt that he forgot safety goggles!🤷🏼♂️ All that sawdust is falling down on his face & into his eyes!😧
Imagine one of them had someone prank call a relative and say “so…the act went wrong”
Respect for what he done for AGT❗
9:34 - Notice Simon's face! His blood ran cold the second in saw what was on that table!!
Simon was frozen in fear and worry in the First one😭😭😭
The phrase "You've got Four Yeses" is not enough for these guys.I wanna see some one rise up and hit that F**kin Golden buzzer!!!!🛎️🛎️🛎️
8:46 that was dope!
THE FIRST ONE SCARED ME SO BAD MY HEART BEATED ☠
on the first one when the water reached the first line my heart sinked
Lets we appreciate al these people in the world
Long life for all of us🙏
That last one scared me and I thought the first and second ones were scarier!
Matt's so good at doing dangerous things that I think it's better to fail him for his own safety
It's not real. You know that, right?
@@lo-firobotboy7112it is real, yk dat right?

That last one tho.... omg when I tell you I was shaking

If he didn't jump away tho his back still would've gotten sliced up.

Golden buzzer please. Scary 😧 he’s legend
Yes
No Golden buzzer for these things. | Миру мир!
Tricks and illusions remember you have just been entertained..
Great work !!!
Always risky no doubt!!
If Terry says do not try this at home, then things are getting good
i will do it in the park. | Пeрeмога Үкраїнi!
I freaking hate my subconscious mind , i know that this video uploaded so nothing going to be happen but when it comes i forget everything and get anxious like mad
What did i just watch? That first act, I could barely watch. he shouldn't do that again because he can't do that 10 out of 10 times.
The gye who was named matt gave me a heart attack. That scared me
Terry you stop me as who😅😅😅I must try at home
I'd like ta see how Matt Johnson would fare against Jigsaw's "test trials."
He'd probably do great. His traps are the real life Saw contraptions, except he doesn't have to cut off his limbs to escape
9:57 Lol the medics on this show when there's a dangerous act must be so pissed lol
the first act literally had me in tears i was so scared for him
its fake, the saws only come down when the weight is lifted off the chair. It has nothing to do with the water and the lines, and maat johnson has performed so many escapes and he has succeeded in all of them. I think he does a great job of creating suspense and fear.

The first and last one freaked me out. I covered my eyes with the last one 🤭😳😱
Matt Johnson is like Jigsaw but he puts himself in his own traps
The way that in Muy Moi's act everybody was covering their mouths and even me 😂
I hope people realize that this acts are not actually dangerous and they just appear to be.
They will never allow an actual dangerous act to be performed in front of so many people.
My friend they allow them coz they choose to but these acts really r dangerous i mean extremely dangerous!
@@preciousmphande9060 No, there is no danger at all... You're delusional.
@@preciousmphande9060100% agree
I'm sinking in my tears here... This is more than ahorror movie to me😭😭😭.buh they good... Thumbs up
The last one was really close to death he is really confident though.
Yea that last one. Even when it's freaking him out. That says something
The most nerve-wracking video on the internet
It was planned. They cannot come down until he bend and move away with the whole mechanism. So until he moves back up then only bucket comes down and the mechanism lets them to come down. But good stuff 👏
Yep, obviously clever mechanism
_100% it's not the water in the bucket.

9:53 Terry is a Tough guy but I'm sure he has moments of scares too... We Love Terry 🥰
It's so horrible it's insane I lost my control seriously I'm speechless the last act was huffff horrible ...... respect
The saws don’t and will not start to fall until he starts to stand up lol. No magician or “escape artist” actually involves danger. There’s always failsafes. At least, any decent ones…
But he shared that he accidentally hung himself and drowned
Yes that is what I think.
Matt Johnson is freaking killing me dude like I never look away during dangerous acts like this but Matt’s I end up doing it a lot
FEAR are the most craziest thing created by nature coz it really helps......
These ads are such a lost art..
😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
I was laying down watching this..
Then had to get up because I was scared for them.. amazing!!!!!
Matt Johnson is like. He shows us how to fight dead even if it is really really freaking close to you omg i have huge respect for this guy 🙂👏👏😎👍🙂🤩☺️👏👏👏👏👏
Dangerous performance on the verge of

MATT JHONSONS ACT TERRIFIED ME
Bravery is knowing what you do is gonna hurt but yet keep doing it. Stupidity is the same. And that is why Life is Hard😂
I know everything about his escape is dangerous and deadly, but if you really see this escape acts what they usually do is the same they escape out of a handcuff or a clothe, the one thing that changes is the danger like the fire, blade or drowning.
Any way its amazing.

Not really. Many escape artists died. They do it and everything is real. Because you watch magic. It looks like mockery. Escape artists do real deal 😁
hi I'm your biggest fan from Northeast India Mizoram 💓
ello! just to say today is my b-day and if you went to the big apple circus in NYC this guy did the same act
Matt Johnson is the new Jigsaw
Requirments in Canada. For citizen: escape artist😂
Crazy how they tell us not to do this at home, yet they doing this in front of our eyes hm.
Moses bending back his thumb I just couldn’t watch
The thing is. He’s terrified of his stunts. Nearly breaks down at the beginning. SO WHY DO THEM. Your life isn’t worth other people’s entertainment.
Its for entertainment he's done this practically all his life and it just for Showmanship but there are risk involved.
you can tell the first dude watches a lot of saw movies😂😂😂😂
For me the circle saw escape looked more like, the saw releasing mechanism was with the plate where the artist was on, than the water container. So no matter how much weight you put on the clear container the circle saws will not get released until the man is off the platform.. 😬
Yes but the second one he literally almost got his face sawed in half! I think that’s why he was screaming cuz he knew it wasn’t rigged lol
THAT LAST ACT WAS ACTUALLY LETHAL! OMGoodness!
For all those wondering.
The water doesn't control the saw blades up. When he got free and sat up, it triggered the latch to be released, allowing saws to fall
Your welcome.
So hes basically escaping in time for the lines insyead of before
