It’s not everyday you get to be a real life super-hero (unless, of course, you’re Chris Hemsworth). However, this clever engineer, Allen Pan, created a working version of Thor’s hammer, and tricks strangers into thinking he has super powers.
In the video, this genius places his home-made Mjolnir (aka Thor’s hammer) around California, and lets strangers attempt to lift it. When they can’t, Allen tells them they must not be worthy of the hammer, and proceeds to ‘magically’ lift the hammer from the ground.
Allen challenged passers to see if they were worthy of Thor’s hammer by trying to pick up his real life Mjolnir. Everyone thought they’d be able to pick up the hammer, but soon realized the task was impossible.
After watching strangers struggle, Allen casually walked over to the hammer, and picked it up with ease.
He was able to accomplish the genius prank by packing a magnet within the Mjolnir that is activated by someone touching the handle. The only way the hammer can be turned off, is by a fingerprint sensor that was set for Allen’s thumbprint.
Watch the entire video below to see the clever way this man was able to prank everyone with his homemade Mjolnir.
