Legendary heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson appeared visibly troubled during a recent performance by magician David Blaine.
In a display of extreme illusion, Blaine involved Tyson in a stunt that left the audience – and even Tyson himself – shaken.
While details of the trick remain shrouded in secrecy, a video circulating online shows Tyson recoiling as Blaine make him insert a screwdriver into his arm.
The former undisputed heavyweight boxing champion, appears unable to stomach the sight.

Social media has been abuzz with reactions to the stunt. Fans on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) expressed a mix of awe and discomfort.
“Even Mike Tyson is grimacing, that tells you everything you need to know,” remarked one user. Another chimed in, “David Blaine is known for his extreme stunts, but that one was particularly intense.” A third comment simply stated, “This is scary.”
Tyson is currently scheduled to face YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in a highly anticipated bout on November 15th. It remains to be seen if this encounter will prove as harrowing for Tyson as Blaine’s recent illusion.
