I was kind of surprised at the poor quality of most of the CGI in these shots.
Easily some of his worst CGI work in a long time. Those cars and helicopters looked pretty bad.
I wonder if he sort of rushed this video, because I know he can do a much better job at compositing.
I actually made a "trick shot" in real life, on accident.~2-3 years ago I was in my apartment throwing cards around like Gambit to learn how to cut things by throwing them w/ a lot of spin. My roommate was there as well. I threw one card and it bounced off the wall and wedged itself in a less than 1mm thick slit on the back of a chair we had in the room. It was the most impossible thing I've ever seen/done in my life.
I wished he touched on Jackie Chan a bit. He's the king of this shit. His Hong Kong movies have crazy stunts that are real, he just does them over and over until he nails it because he's a perfectionist.

It seemed to be more of a joke/gimmic, so maybe thats what a "5 second job" from him looks like.
I absolutely love this guy but that missing basketball shots montage was waaaaaay too drawn out. And yeah agreed the special effects were a little too rushed. Just don't bother, less is more in that case.
This guy reminds me of one of those 90s science shows hosts like Bill Nye, and I mean that in a good way.

That cop car effect wouldn't look so bad if the reflection map wasn't half completely black for some reason.

As a matter of fact he did actually do a crossover/collab episode with Beakman
