10 Magic Tricks That Went Disastrously Wrong Live

2. TV Presenter Gets A Nail Through Her Hand

We've seen hundreds of live TV mistakes over the years - nipple slips, accidental cuss words, wardrobe malfunctions - but we don't often get to see a host be impaled by a nail.

But that's exactly what happened on Question For Breakfast, when Polish host Marzena Rogalska agreed to take part in a trick that required her to slam her hand down on a brown paper bag.

There were three bags in total; two of them empty, and one containing a nail. The bag she went for was supposed to be empty, but in this case, it wasn't - and the unfortunate presenter found the nail lodged in her hand when she brought it back up.

Rogalska's screams of pain are chillingly genuine, and the magician's relaxed reaction is probably a bit too nonchalant, but luckily, her injuries weren't too significant, and she later posted a video on Facebook to tell everyone she was ok.

Only one thing is certain: this magician has made his chances of a lucrative TV career disappear into thin air.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
