This is more of a business than a hobby. He’s got more than 2,000,000 subscribers to his channel. In other words, a lot more people watch him than watch MSNBC. His more popular videos get millions of views and his channel has had roughly 350,000,000 total views, so he’s paid WELL. There is no way to know his deal with YouTube but based on what I know about others, his channel has probably earned him $750,000-$1,250,000. And that is just in direct payments from YouTube. Savvy YouTubers have other ways to monetize their channels. I bet he’s got other channels, too.

Those magnets can be damned dangerous at that size, they can literally crush someone’s hands...

Did you see the amazing release of mechanical energy released when those two blocks rammed together??? I would not want my hand between them when they met!

a barbarian destroys value for destruction's sake. . . but at least he's using a creative approach to do it.
. . . but as Bre’r Bear famously put it,
Why don’t we just
KNOCK

OFF!

Not mentioned, but visible in the video: The watch also broke one of the magnets.
