American guy builds real-life Thor’s hammer that only he can lift (Video)

By the hammer of Thor!

Kevin Beirne

They say only the one with the fingerprints of Thor can lift Mjolnir, his infamous hammer.

So perhaps if the victims of this prank knew their Norse mythology a little better, they would have caught onto YouTuber Sufficiently Advanced‘s tricks sooner.

While it may look like the real thing on the outside, this custom-made version of Mjolnir actually contains some very powerful magnets which can only be deactivated by the maker’s thumbprint.

After putting the hammer out on something metallic, like a manhole cover, all that was left was to ask the general public to test their worth.
