Interesting moments:

1:17
1:30
3:18

And the coup de grace (figurative, not literal!),

Spoiler

the knife thrower tries to wipe up the assistants blood with his foot while being judged at 4:45.

Obviously not the worst since the guy was still alive but some pretty damn close calls.

That 3:18 one was pretty close to taking off part of his face. Lucky ass assistant.

From the comments, apparently knife throwers are supposed to use double sided knives for balance and rotation purposes.

Also from the comments, someone said the guy is actually a decent knife thrower (claimed they had seen him before) when using the proper knives. However, if knives are wrong and he proceeds, I question whether he has any idea what he is doing.

Haha balls of steel, but I bet the assistent punched him square in the face repeatedly once off-stage

Maybe he's just so good that he needlessly adds drama just to show off? That was close for sure.

Woooooowwww.

You can see the assistant steadily trying to dodge with each throw.

Can we get a translation of the commentary?
