Pete Davidson helped David Blaine perform a shocking and chilling magic trick on Friday.
The 29-year-old comedian – who made an appearance on Fast X – stabbed the death-defying illusionist, 50, with an ice pick during his residency show at Resorts World in Las Vegas.
In a video obtained by TMZthe Saturday Night Live alum was seen being brought onto the stage by the record-breaking magician onto a table containing four disposable cups placed upside down to conceal its contents.
Next, the Bodies Bodies actor randomly picked a mug with the audience’s suggestion and unveiled the item to be used in the trick – an ice pick.
“You guessed right,” Blaine said holding up all the remaining cups to show they were empty. “You see, that’s the game.”

Davidson and another volunteer brought on stage, Alex, both examined the sharp weapon to confirm that it was indeed not a gimmick.
Blaine asked the pair, “Can you make sure this is sharp for real?”
“Yeah, you crazy,” Davidson was heard muttering in disbelief in the clip.
Afterwards, the New York native helped blindfold Blaine and helped him place his hands on the now rearranged cups.
On the count of three, the extreme performer slammed both hands on the cups and scared the audience before realizing that both cups were, once again, empty.
“You did it,” Davidson told Blaine.
Blaine retorted, ‘No, you did.’
“It’s crazy that he did that with me,” Blaine told the audience, noting that Davidson still had his hands placed over his and risked injury.

“By the way, it’s a good thing you didn’t choose that one, because it would have been bad,” the endurance artist said as he lifted the third cup containing the ice pick. “How did you know?”
“Uh, I didn’t,” Davidson replied, prompting laughter from the crowd. “I was just very scared.”
The clip then cut to the next segment where Davidson was about to pierce Blaine’s bicep with the ice pick.
“We’re gonna be best friends after this,” Davidson joked. “Come to Staten Island next weekend.”
The audience was heard moaning and screaming with grimaces as they watched him slowly push the sharp object into Blaine’s arm with barely a reaction from the performer.
With the help of the other volunteer on stage, they fully pierce Blaine’s bicep and the ice pick comes out the other side. In the end, Blaine allegedly tricked a young boy into removing the ice pick from his arm.
