In order to make that balloon burst you need to have one nail, or have to apply pressure. It's basic physics and i had a school project about that in 6th grade.

The ink drop on the shirt, bricks nearly hitting the glass of champagne, and the picture with the eggs really made me nervous! As you can see I hate messes!! This is very interesting. Great job stressing me out!

I want to hear the bubbles wrap pop ugh.

Well, this gap there annoys me more than it should ..... fkngap-58f...c062bf.jpg

For some reason it didn't have any effect on me, anyone also imagined it resuming?

Either my "survival instincts" have failed me, or these aren't very effective...Only thing that bothered me is ink!

I hate this aaaaaaa

I love the pictures but I also hate them I don't know what to do with myself anymore

I pretty sure the balloon over nails is considered torture in 16 countries.

he might use photoshop.. (nikkon photo contest aftermath)

I did not feel anything .... maybe I should have read the text afterwards and not before.

Mh, nope, no anxious anticipation, the movement is way too fixed for that. Would have been more impressive with a slow shutter speed. But I am admirative of the ideas they got and the aesthetics of the pictures, they are beautiful.

The balloon could be helium

The most nerve-wracking moment was the ink and the egg

Whether it works or not is not the point. It is the anticipation...the expectation...the unfulfilled result that makes these photos intriguing. We know what we think will happen. Not seeing the actual conclusion leaves us hanging.

None induced anything for me but good shots all the same

I saw a photo in the same spirit years ago, in somebody's album. A few college guys went on a camping trip, and two were posed for this picture: one sitting and smiling for the camera, the other standing and tipping his cup full of beer over the first guy's head. The camera captured the flow of beer juuust as it started to spill out of the cup! As far as this series, the ink drop over the white shirt causes me the most anxiety, but I don't get the point of the first photo at all. Seems to me that the rock would just break the matchsticks, not cause them to flame?

To avoid this sort of anxious, try to imagine true decisions for these examples...

I'm too exited now :/

so....Cool !

Oh come on, why would anyone do anything like this to us with OCD? :-/

ink drop n egg did

The rock and the matches for me. Visualizing what will happen negates the feeling for me.

What a load of bollacks. If any of these pictures causes "anxiety" you need to harden the f**k up.

fake, The stone trajectory is ABOVE the matches - photo was taken by swinging it few times The bolling boll is most likely stationary as it has is perfectly positioned with the holes on top The inc drop looks fake, the shape is not right, the drop should more attached to the item The bricks are actually in balance. The egg in the air drops no shadow. The other eggs should slide instead of roll on this angle of the slope.
