Watch as flexible locksmith shows off superhuman powers to break into his van – and everyone’s saying same thing
A FLEXIBLE locksmith has shown off his superhuman powers to break into his van – and everyone’s saying the same thing.
Nimble tradesman Liam was filmed wriggling into the back of the Ford Transit by his colleague Hannah, who posted the clip to TikTok.
The keys had been locked in the back of the transit with slam-lock on – meaning he couldn’t open it.
Hannah wrote: “Liam the locksmith used his talents to retrieve [the keys],” alongside two crying with laughter emojis.
The lad was filmed lifting up the van’s front passenger seat, before stepping over it and anchoring his legs on the driver’s seat.
The locksmith then lowered himself headfirst into the space beneath the opened passenger seat.
After worming his way down the gap, half of his body disappeared with only his legs sticking out.
Viewers were left shocked when he slid even further down to completely vanish under the passenger seat, before emerging out of the back of the van.
The video posted by @autokeychase quickly racked up a whopping 148.3k likes and over 2480 comments from stunned followers who were all left saying the same thing.
One wrote: “My claustrophobia would never allow me to do this”.
Another added: “I had a panic attack just watching this.”
One chimed in: “That is beyond terrifying. I can cope fine in small spaces but that is literally my nightmare”.
A fourth said: “Caught second-hand claustrophobia”.
A fifth commented: “My anxiety is through the roof.”
One viewer even suggested that Liam goes on Britain’s Got Talent after he showed off his flexible skills on TikTok.
“Is that elastic man?,” joked another follower.
Other viewers were quick to explain that the transit van’s model has a button in the front to release back doors – but they still praised Liam’s bizarre talent.
This comes after a mesmerising video clip of a worker perfectly painting a sign on a road left viewers gobsmacked and all saying the same thing.
The man carefully paints out ‘BUS’ in the short clip posted on Twitter with people declaring him an “artist”.
People have lauded the worker online with comments including “genius”, “an artist for sure”, “superb craftmanship” and “now that’s what we should call skilled labour”.
And pranksters claim they were left stunned when they pretended to be criminals trying to offload a blood-splattered hatchback to a well-known motors firm.
The viral video left people shocked at the dealers cryptic responses after the pranking pair were given a quote of £196.

ACCC Boss Wants New Powers To Crack Down On Online Businesses That Make It Hard To Cancel Subscriptions
The consumer watchdog has called for new powers in Australian consumer law to crack down on such practices since 2017. A spokesperson for the regulator said subscription traps can cause “significant harm to consumers and some small businesses.” “These practices make it difficult for consumers to cancel subscriptions after fixed-term periods, with the consequence that many subscriptions roll over to paid subscriptions despite consumers no longer utilizing or wanting them,” the spokesperson said. The report cites a discrepancy in the steps required to canceled an Amazon Prime subscription. In Europe, “there is a simple two-step process,” reports the Guardian. “But customers in Australia must navigate four convoluted steps, with the wording and location of the cancellation button changing between each screen.”
This is due to Australia’s lack of unfair trading practices laws that exist in Europe and other countries.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor lets Cal keep his Fallen Order powers because he’s “no longer a Padawan”
It turns out that Cal Kestis will get to keep all of his powers from the first game in the upcoming Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
The problem with video game sequels that follow on from games where you end up quite powerful is that they have to figure out how to nerf the player character so the game isn’t too easy. Turns out that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor isn’t doing that, as Cal will apparently have all of his abilities from the first game. In an interview with GamesRadar, design director Jason de Heras and senior director of production Kasumi Shishido explained how they came to that decision, and the challenge it took to get it right.
“We knew we wanted his skills to continue in Survivor, and that was one of the challenges,” de Heras explained. “We had to kind of tweak enemies to handle his new powers from the start. We don’t want to take away those moves, because they feel good. You can’t go backwards, and feel like a Padawan. It has to feel that the power level is the same, but also, you have to reach another level.”

Introducing Great War Western Front’s newcomers, the Central Powers
Set amid the smog-ridden trenches of World War I, Petroglyph’s new RTS game The Great War: Western Front thrusts players into a world very far from our own and yet hauntingly, chillingly familiar. A headline feature is the ability to command either the Allied or the Central Powers, whose perspective – with notable exceptions such as All Quiet On The Western Front – is so often neglected by Western media. That’s been true in the hype around Great War: Western Front, too – until now.
