Kai Cenat Hangs Magician From Noose In Disturbing Live Stream Stunt – But It’s Not What You Think

Social media star Kai Cenat appeared to hang YouTube magician Max Major by the neck from a noose in shocking footage – but it was later revealed it was all just a sick prank to scare the viral streamer.

Cenat’s live stream showed Major, 40, standing on a raised yellow platform shirtless with his hands bound and a noose around his neck attached to a counterweight. He asked Cenat to choose between two colored ropes and pull one.

Selecting the red rope, the noose instantly lifted Major into the air, who appeared to begin to suffocate as the panicked streamer and his friends stood by helplessly.

“What the hell? Wait, no, no! I’m not getting banned! Well, I might get banned! Is he good? I’m staying here. I’m staying here! Can I stay here?” Cenat said frantically to a cameraman.

Medics were seen in the footage swarming the fallen magician – but Major had one last trick up his sleeve.

Hours later, he released a YouTube video revealing that Cenat had unwittingly fallen victim to an elaborate ruse designed specifically to scare him half to death.

“If you’re seeing this, it means something has gone terribly wrong … but what you don’t know is that it was all according to my plan,” he said in the video.

“Look, at the start of my performance I said tonight was about choices. But not just the choices you made tonight, but the choices you’ve made since the day we met,” he said, claiming , that he had carefully conditioned the Twitch star to choose the red rope all along, setting the climax of the prank in motion.

Cenat is known for making his own pranks, and the elaborate “hanging” segment was several hours into a marathon stream held specifically to increase his subscriber count. So it’s entirely possible that Cenat was in on the gag as well.

However, he later slammed Major for what he called a “selfish” stunt, claiming the YouTube magician with 1.1 million followers was trying to make black people look bad.

“Let him go! He wants n—-s to look like black people looking crazy. That’s how they want things to look. It’s not worth it bro. We scream at him, we just looks like a whole bunch of black n—-s looking crazy so god let it go bro,” he later gushed on his stream.

The stunt is not the first time a hang has controversially entered the world of live streaming.

In 2018, YouTuber Logan Paul uploaded a video showing a dead person hanging from a tree in Japan’s “suicide forest” – he later apologized, claiming he was only trying to raise awareness.

Cenat, 22, who has more than 20 million followers between YouTube and live streaming platform Twitch, caused chaos in the Big Apple last July after he appeared in Union Square to give away a PS5 video game console.

Massive crowds thronged the area and threw bottles and other objects at officers and onlookers. Cenat did not have a permit and was initially charged with inciting a riot and unlawful assembly, but Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg later dropped the charges.
