Watch People Try to Lift an Electromagnetic Thor’s Hammer

One of the great moments in Avengers: Age of Ultron came when the Avengers took turns trying to lift Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir. As anyone who’s been following Thor knows, his hammer can only be lifted by those who are “worthy.” Considering for a brief period of time, even Thor himself was considered unworthy, it’s safe to say only a select few can do it.

Now we get to see the test in real life, thanks to a little engineering instead of mystical power. On the YouTube channel Sufficiently Advanced, a guy created his own version of Mjolnir. Instead of an enchantment, the hammer hides a powerful electromagnet that keeps it stuck to metal surfaces it’s attached to. The trick is that it also has a fingerprint scanner in it, so the magnet turns off when the creator takes hold of the handle. Knowing that, watch the epic prank as people struggle to lift the hammer around Venice Beach.

Could you lift Mjolnir?
