I am not sure if this is paranormal or just physics. However, I don't really care because it is

thats cool
thx for sharing

I could barely make things out but it looks similar to a chi demonstration I've seen done with nails and a board... quite interesting.

It's really hard to make out. I don't see that the object is sticking through the seat until the cut to the close up.
I don't see the difference between this and the magic trick my dad used to show us where he pushed a stick into one side of his head and pulled it out the other.
You can't see under the seat when the stick is being "pushed down".
You have to notice that a stick pushed into another piece of wood seems to be very easy to remove in that last second of video. Every try to pull a nail with your fingers?

it reminded me the pencil trick of the joker in the dark knight

There is another video, I think it's the same guy, in which he definitely embeds the chop stick in a table, then karate chops the end off. It's in there pretty solidly.

I bet I could do the following for a video.
1. Drill a hole in a wooden board
2. Fill the hole with toothpaste
3. Paint over the hole
4. Push a stick into the hole
5. snap off the stick
or maybe replace steps 1 to 3 by drilling from the back side with a Forstner drill till the tip appeared. Then you know where to push.

I'm sorry to say that I thought the same thing about an obscure, pre-drilled hole. It wasn't the best video either.

Sure, anything's possible.
Here's another video, with several stunts by this guy. Might be magic tricks, but I think the chopstick one is just neat physics. Ever put a straw through a potato?
Again, that's why I titled this thread what I did. I'm not hugely convinced myself. But it looks wicked cool. Do you guys go to magic shows and go, "That's just a magic trick, lame!"

not sure it is even possible to put a chopstick thru wood
anyway.. being fake or not
i like it
is pretty cool

Like, mechanically it's totally possible. You could do it with a decent spudgun. Whether that can be done with PHYSICAL strength, that's a trickier question.

yeah.. i think you can do it with a nail and stuff
but a chopstick would break (that´s what i would think..) but who knows
asian martial artists (which is kind of redundant)
are quite impressive.. they do train a lifetime to pull off stunts like that one
there´s a chinese magician (which has nothing to do with martial artists i know)
that only does one trick.. he produces bowls of fishes.. all his routine consists in producing fishes..
i think that´s awesome
training a lifetime for a single routine.. i love the idea of it. just one single trick..
