That blade is three times the guy's height (at least 4 feet). If you know anything about materials and physics, you should know... The shorter and wider the rigid band, the more difficult it is to flip.
If you put your thumbs and fingers on a 32 7/8" long 1/2" wide blade and twist, the thing will point straight up into the air (like your penis, about 60 years ago).
Because what's the sense in flipping a $6 blade that has zero value in its current state when you can sit on your ass and waste more time waiting for a spoon-fed answer?
Here's another way to look at it: You've wasted more time than it would take to earn that 6 bucks at minimum wage. On the other hand, if you flip the blade, it'll take about 5 seconds, and the blade's value will increase by $6. $6/5 seconds = $4,320/hr.

If he loses his typing finger(s) without actually dying it might be a win;-)
Stupid shop trick, best done with a worn out fine tooth to minimize risk. Fold a blade like in the video. Fold it again, against the bottom edge of a workbench. You now have nine very small coils, hand it to someone unsuspecting and ask them to hold it. Then watch as they realize they can not let go without it unfolding back to three coils.
Throwing it to the floor is the quickest way out. Or (with practice) take it back and revisit the workbench.
