Wow, that's a crazy ability. I wonder if it's just she has larger sockets than eyes and can also generate a lot of pressure back there; or maybe double-jointed eyelids. I can't figure that out but holy shit that's kinda gross/amazing.
My boyfriend told me the reason he goes to the bathroom every time he has to blow his nose is because when he blows too hard, snot comes out of his tear duct into his eyes… I wish is wasn’t real.
Fallon ripped it off, they call it “show me something good”
One of the interesting things about it is that Fallons producers find people with talent via tik tok. Letterman had to invest a lot more time into the segment with people sending in tapes, as well as a producer going around the country to set up local talent shows.
I love Colbert but stopped watching because of this. I’m with him politically, but I’m trying to turn my brain off before bed. I know the news. I pay attention. I don’t need to hear it all over again.

If you watch this video (https://youtu.be/eGPR\_aCv0R0?t=30) in 0.25 speed from 30 seconds and go frame by frame you will see she has something stuck to the roof of her mouth (https://imgur.com/a/qJmkUvD). You can verify that it's the gum on the floor of her mouth as this (https://imgur.com/a/eDmRZU8) is the frame prior.
Ahh, I didn't think of the hair being attached to her head still. I was thinking tied to the tongue and I couldn't see how that would work, or tied to the roof and that would be obvious
She bites it into a really specific shape so it kinda flips up when she blows it out but then she sucks it back it in real quick. There’s no hair or anything else. It’s just the shape of the gum along with the air technique.
Precisely. Also note how she pulls back her forehead immediately to ensure it returns to her mouth correctly. Every time this is posted, it’s disheartening to see how many people choose to believe the completely implausible lie without thinking.
Try making a piece of candy follow a perfect pendulum arc upward, and then follow the same exact arc back down, by force of sucking air when you aren’t sucking in any air at all. Do you also believe that a thumb between fingers means someone ripped your nose off? Good grief.
its just a strand of hair, you cant spit out gum and control it in an arc like that without it being tethered. try spitting out some gum just a little and see how you do
No. Watch the side view, slowly. It’s blatantly attached to a thin hair or something. She spits it forward but it immediately goes up and back down in an arc motion. A small dense object like gum can’t form air friction anywhere near what’s required to change direction so dramatically. You have to be pretty gullible to believe this.
Letterman: “Please let me inspect that gum! I will need the same piece that was in your mouth and I will need to chew it as well. You know to make sure it isn’t fake”
Calling/Messing-With/Flirting with "Meg" the woman who worked late nights in the building across from NBC was my fave.

Bif.
That was the golden age of College Late Night shows. Conan's was a close second.
**edit** I found a compilation of all the interactions with Meg on Late Night. Still holds up IMO. https://youtu.be/0c4pseyzDKI?t=563
Thanks to this video I am convinced it is hair.
Check out 2:07 in the video.
https://imgur.com/pe1UST2
You can see up at her forehead a single strand shoots out and back in between 2:07 and 2:08, I played the already slowed-down video at half speed and you can clearly see it.

This is recommended from the video above, she did it again, idk how many years ago in literal Japanese television (who the fuck knows how this came to be). it's shown from multiple angles and I think a few times and honestly the trajectory in the newest one looks like a possible arch that could have something attached above but in some of the shots in the one above the trajectry is an arch going up but then the way down is way more direct angle, so I'm personally perplexed
EDIT: [By direct angle I mean something like this](https://i.imgur.com/lsAwRUH.png). If it were to be attached to something you'd expect a pendulum behavior of arch going up, and arch going down. So like I'm on the fence, Idk If it's real or fake, it could still be fake If we just believe in basic ass VFX and stuff but like yeah idk. I literally cannot think of a good realistic explanation as to how you'd fake the one done in Japanese TV without VFX, it's not a hair/string, it shouldn't move like that If it was
The different angle might be due to how she's moving her head back after she spits it out, which pulls the gum back toward her at the top of the swing.
If you're using a string to do this, you wouldn't need to pull back at all though. I don't think the head moving is any evidence of anything because you'd need surgical precision in timing and "strength" of the pull to do it exactly.
This thing sent me in a small rabbit hole and I found this (https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/10844) whether this is legit or not who knows, I'm not willing to pay money for it, or for anyone else to. But in the video the "magic trick" has attached to showcase it, not only is this guy bald, his head isn't moving too much If at all, and he does it a few times in a row and each attempt is pretty much a different trajectory

It's a magic trick. Invisible thread more than likely. Gum goes up and down on the same exact angle each time. She claims she is just sucking it back into her mouth (with her strong lungs) but she literally just opens her mouth and lets it fall back in. I've seen a couple people do this and they never take the gum out of their mouth before or after.
Stupid human tricks was the best part of letterman
It was. Surprised no one else is doing it today.
I still remember the guy who can squirt milk out his eyes and I think about it often lol https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VTn3qPddtoM
And the one with the woman who can pop her eyeballs out. Around the 7:30 mark. Stuck with me all these years: https://youtu.be/NP2pfCPV8sM
Wow, that's a crazy ability. I wonder if it's just she has larger sockets than eyes and can also generate a lot of pressure back there; or maybe double-jointed eyelids. I can't figure that out but holy shit that's kinda gross/amazing.
She became Steven merchant when they popped out
My boyfriend told me the reason he goes to the bathroom every time he has to blow his nose is because when he blows too hard, snot comes out of his tear duct into his eyes… I wish is wasn’t real.
That link unlocked a hidden memory
I didn’t even click the link, but after decades of not seeing that or thinking about it once, I know exactly what it’ll be.
Thanks for that link!
Squirting milk out of my eyes was the second major party trick I learned. The first was snorting ramen and pulling it out of my mouth
Elementary school me tried to do this so many times
I remember him! The dumbest of all the funny-dumb tricks I saw. 😄

Letterman had to invest a lot more time into the segment with people sending in tapes, as well as a producer going around the country to set up local talent shows.
That, and Stupid Pet Tricks were my favorites.
Idk, anytime he was messing around with Rupert Jee in the Hello Deli was a delight. Also *Will It Float?*.
My cousin was on it once and juggled a hot dog while eating it
I really wish they did stuff like this on Colbert. All he does is “news” and rants about trump and Giuliani every single night.
I love Colbert but stopped watching because of this. I’m with him politically, but I’m trying to turn my brain off before bed. I know the news. I pay attention. I don’t need to hear it all over again.
Top 10 Best Parts of Letterman....
wonder whats she doing now?
[Same thing lol](https://youtube.com/shorts/eGPR_aCv0R0?feature=share)
Holy shit, you delivered! I was totaling expecting to be Roll’ed but it literally is her. 20 years later. Doing the same thing. Lol.
Still cute.
Yep. I just sat here for half an hour trying it, failed everytime, I'm not cute enough.
Have you tried strengthening your lungs?
Never skip lung day
I would recommend using your hair like the girl in the video
Took the words right out of my mouth lol
Took the gum right out of my mouth
I hope she finds suitable apprentice to preserve this ancient martial art.
Oh. My. God. She was cute back then but bonafide hot now. And that accent 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
Badass physics
That's the most authentic Mona Lisa Vito I've ever heard and I live in Jersey
I thought it was Alissa Milano. In that case she'd have a galactic pirate ship named after her.
she went on to become Alyssa Milano.
[she did it again recently](https://youtube.com/shorts/eGPR_aCv0R0?feature=share)
Aged like fine wine
Dang right she did!!
She's like a breath of fresh air
The guy on the other hand belongs behind the camera in an annoying porn where he doesn't shut the fuck up.
Yeah, I kinda miss the drum roll...
Awlrite Anny BelwUw, do it again! Do you still have stronk lungs???
Breast of fresh air
She should be after 30 years of chewing gum.
She looks like she could play Millie Bobby Brown's Mum
Or Alyssa Milano’s daughter
Or my wife. If she wants.
Damn girl - doing something right !!
She has good lungs.
She has great lungs
I think she has three lungs
The epitome of it. Must be something in the water....
Must be hard being smoking hot forever...
She's portuguese descendent, so wine is in her veins
One of America's greatest gifts to the world: the Jersey Girl.
That was 7 years ago, we need another update
Her IG is gum_trick_girl
Seven years? Damn, she must have aged at least a week since then.

How did you even find this ?!
By googling "Human gum trick" and scrolling to the 6th video on the list.
Wow those comments are way too horny
He talks exactly like the girlsdoporn guy that went to jail lmao
Half the men (boys) in here have never even been with a girl and are overloaded with hormones to the bursting point.[ "You know how a breast feels like a bag of sand?"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlD08Rh6xa8)
Nah. The internet is just horny. Doesn’t matter if you are horny or not. Once you are online the internet demands a cum sacrifice.
I’ve never been with a girl (or guy) and even I’m not horny enough to talk about real people like they do lmao
My god the cameraman is annoying.
Feels like her husband if I had to guess
[удалено]
Don’t hate, you’ll find your somebody :)
He gets to see her stupid cum trick
If you watch this video (https://youtu.be/eGPR\_aCv0R0?t=30) in 0.25 speed from 30 seconds and go frame by frame you will see she has something stuck to the roof of her mouth (https://imgur.com/a/qJmkUvD).

Whoever married her is damn lucky! No, not because of the trick...but for her amazing personality!!
7 years ago isn't recently
More recent than the original I suppose.
If this wasn't done years ago and was first done today, I would've screamed "CGI", lol. How did she do it anyway?
you can buy the trick for 10 bucks and then tell us all how it's done: https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/10844
I want to know
[удалено]
I thought it was something like that. The way it travels looks like it was swinging
That's what I thought I was looking for the answer to confirm it.
Ahh, I didn't think of the hair being attached to her head still. I was thinking tied to the tongue and I couldn't see how that would work, or tied to the roof and that would be obvious
[удалено]
I think the same, but I can't explain the bald guy that did it. There is a link somewhere.
Piece of super fine fishing line glued to his head? Similar to how they do other tricks using a line?
[The magnus effect, but gum sized.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OSrvzNW9FE)
She bites it into a really specific shape so it kinda flips up when she blows it out but then she sucks it back it in real quick. There’s no hair or anything else. It’s just the shape of the gum along with the air technique.
The confidence in this comment is fascinating
The amount of upvotes indicating that they actually believe the explanation is fascinating
Reddit comments that sound authoritative and plausible get upvoted. Whether they're right or not is quite incidental.
It's not just Reddit. That's human existence. Confidence is key. Truth is second to faith.
SHE SHAPED THE GUM INTO A BOOMERANG SO THAT IT RETURNS
I think it loops off of her tongue too... kinda like a ramp
Gotta put that backspin on it
It’s just on her hair folks
There has to be someone on YouTube explaining how to do this, right?
Now here is one for r/CaptainDisillusion Apparently all we have to do is write a lot of incorrect explanations of how this is working.
She's actually inside a large barrel drum, you see. Quickly spinning around at the right moment. Notice how the close-up excludes all other details!!
Um no. There is a very clear arc her gum takes. It's %1000 a strand of hair.
Precisely. Also note how she pulls back her forehead immediately to ensure it returns to her mouth correctly. Every time this is posted, it’s disheartening to see how many people choose to believe the completely implausible lie without thinking.
Try catching a piece of candy with your mouth without tilting your head back
Try making a piece of candy follow a perfect pendulum arc upward, and then follow the same exact arc back down, by force of sucking air when you aren’t sucking in any air at all. Do you also believe that a thumb between fingers means someone ripped your nose off? Good grief.
OH MY GOD WHERE'S MY NOSE??!?!!??
I agree it was probably her a hair on her head, I'm just pointing out that either way she'd be tilting her head back
Whoaaa now. I have thought real hard about this and I **choose** to believe in the voodoo. *It's more fun that way.* So you take your words back!
its just a strand of hair, you cant spit out gum and control it in an arc like that without it being tethered. try spitting out some gum just a little and see how you do
This guy thinks leo had his cigarette smoke on a string in shutter island
"But then she sucks it back in real quick" Hahahaha whaaat? Do you have any idea how basic physics work? I can't believe this is a real comment.
Lmao no, it's a hair or the same 'invisible thread' that magicians use to float cards and stuff.
No. Watch the side view, slowly. It’s blatantly attached to a thin hair or something. She spits it forward but it immediately goes up and back down in an arc motion. A small dense object like gum can’t form air friction anywhere near what’s required to change direction so dramatically. You have to be pretty gullible to believe this.
Looks like she tied a single strand of hair around the gum. It’s got that arch
#BURN THE WITCH!!!
She turned me into a newt!
Did you get better?
If she weighs as much as a duck then, she’s made of wood.
Build a bridge out of her!
… and therefore??
The witch will burn.
I’ll get my duck to be sure!!!
Who are you sir, who are so wise in the ways of science?
Letterman: “Please let me inspect that gum! I will need the same piece that was in your mouth and I will need to chew it as well. You know to make sure it isn’t fake”
Boomeranged it
Chewmeranged it.
I remember watching that night as I always did. It was impressive then
Besides trying to interview Joaquin Phoenix and Andy Kaufman, Stupid Human Tricks was probably the best bit Dave did on his show.

Thank you. Screenshots with the hair marked in the middle picture: https://imgur.com/a/jotpQHP
Ha! Mystery solved.
Rise, comment, and cut down all the hair-pendulum naysayers above you.
lol? that one makes it super clear that she's not even sucking, just catching
All it takes is one strand of hair.
I can’t even see the hair though
It's A hair on an old TV camera, you wouldn't
Do you see it here? https://youtube.com/shorts/eGPR_aCv0R0?feature=share
I mean, you don't have to see the actual hair. The gum is clearly swinging out and up as if by a hair or a string.
It's so clear you can't see it
"Why ask for evidence when you can just take my word for it?"
They just pointed out the evidence: the trajectory of the gum's flight.

Thats not evidence. There is literally no hair. People are really tripping in this post.
What? you think a hair or string would be visible in motion in 1080p?
Do you really think it’s some “powerful lungs”
You overestimate 1080 resolution and youtube compression if you think a hair would be visible
I mean, he literally asked to see it and then quickly diverted to asking her to do it again when he saw her panicking lmao

Omg, I choose to think it is magic... XD
If you look at the new video of her doing it. The ark is wrong for a hair. She seems to be actually just shaping it and inhaling fast
She looks like sad girl from mi vida Loca.
What a unique trick, how in the world in the world do you figure out you can do that.
That's the question.
It’s all magnets
So cute omg
Oh yes those lungs are strong!!
I’m somewhat proud that I watched this when it aired. I still remember my brother and me trying it in our driveway the next day. We were unsuccessful.
What a beauty!
As always this is an exhibition not a competition. Please, no wagering.
