You can hit other persons onto their hands, until there's no one left who's holding you anything, or - you build a target stand. Great idea, by the way.
require an accuracy in the range of a few millimeters, so I think they have to film it several times until Hayashi-san gets the ‚lucky punch‘ with the whip. (Even professional darts players make mistakes and I assume that is MUCH more reproducable than target whipping).
Although it’s fascinating what kind of accuracy can be achieved with a whip.
(E.g. these tricks here are probably not just ‚lucky shots‘ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9WFDjxRU0EA )
And did you notice that there were three matches there? The inevitable slight friction between them when hit would help to light them. Furthermore, as far as I'm concerned, 'muffling' the cracker of the whip with sandpaper (and so preventing any possibility of a crack) means that this is not really a whip-cracking trick at all! (I suppose it's clever enough in its own way - but why bother?)
Interesting, I have never seen matches that light with friction on any given surface (e.g. sandpaper) except in movies. In Germany the boxes containing the matches also have a phosphor-coated surface at which the matches can be ignited...sandpaper would simply destroy the match without any ignition.
But Robert you are right, all these ‚hitting absurdly small objects‘ to provoke a reaction kind of tricks are technically not real target whipping - they never do it with a crack in this series if I recall correctly.
Ah okay, thank you Ron! I don’t know if these are even sold over here. Apparently the second component for ignition is the bright spot on the read head of the match.
