The truth behind the horrific prank video in which social media star Kai Cenat “hangs” a man on a livestream has been revealed after the magician responsible for the stunt revealed his secret.

Cenat, a hugely popular live streamer with 13.5 million followers on Twitch, was seen “hanging” a man during a broadcast after he was asked to pull one of the two ropes in front of him.

Video footage from the livestream showed a shirtless man standing on a yellow stool with a noose around his neck seconds before Cenat pulled the rope.

Screams could be heard as the man was pulled up and those around him immediately brought him to the ground.

Cenat was heard telling his cameraman, “What the fuck?” Wait, no, no! I won’t be banned! N***a, I might get banned! Is he good? I’ll stay here. I’ll stay here! May I stay here?’

But it later emerged that the man who was hanged was YouTube magician Max Major, who played an elaborate prank on him.

Major said in a post following the stream: “What you don’t know is that everything went according to my plan.” See, at the beginning of my appearance I said that tonight is all about decisions.

“But not just the choices you made tonight, but the choices you’ve made since the day we met.” Since we first met, you’ve pushed me, challenged me, wanted me see failure.

“And I thought, tonight I’m going to give you exactly what you asked for.” See, you thought the game was for me to influence you to make the right choice.

“But all this time I’ve been planning on tricking you into making the wrong choice, and I knew you’d choose the red handle.”

Although Major was safe and in control of the situation, Cenat said he was not happy at all.

“Let her go! He wants n****s to look like this… we just look like black people looking crazy. This is how things should look. It’s not worth it, brother.

“We’re screaming at him, we just look like a bunch of black n****s looking crazy. “So let God handle it, bro.”

The internet was also outraged by the video, with one social media user saying of the clip: “I don’t think it’s great that Kai Cenat is putting this guy up as a stunt, but even if he didn’t know, he would have done it in a heartbeat Shut up.” it down.

“I’ve been a subscriber for years and it worries me a lot – suicide is no joke.”

Another wrote: “Why the hell is there a hanging part of a Kai Cenat stream?”

Others lambasted Cenat for his callous reaction to the execution. One person wrote: “Did he seriously say ‘I could get banned’ after literally hanging someone?”

Max Major, the magician who organized the prank, has over a million YouTube subscribers and more than 400,000 followers on Instagram.

In 2023, he collaborated with Cenat and showed him a card trick along with rapper G Herbo.
