It’s easy to predict that Minnesota native Nial Romanek is going to film an insane video part. But guessing the progression of this press-master’s trick and spot choices is a fool’s errand.

Enjoy Nial’s opening part from Think Thank’s “Methods of Prediction” then get out there and live the future!
