In a video obtained by TMZwas seen as the Saturday Night Live alum was taken onstage by the record-breaking onstage magician to a table with four disposable cups that had been turned upside down to hide the contents.
Then the Bodies Bodies Bodies actor randomly chose a cup at the suggestion of the audience and revealed the object to be used in the trick: an ice pick.
“You guessed it right,” Blaine said, lifting each of the remaining cups to show that they were empty. “See, this is the game.”

Davidson and another volunteer brought to the stage, Alex, both examined the edged weapon to confirm that it was indeed not a gimmick.
Blaine asked the pair, “Can you make sure this is really sharp?”
“Yeah, you’re crazy,” Davidson was heard muttering in disbelief in the clip.
Next, the New York resident assisted in blindfolding Blaine and helping him place his hands on the now-rearranged cups.
When he counted to three, the extreme performer slammed both hands over the cups, quite startling the audience before realizing that both cups were empty again.
“You did it,” Davidson told Blaine.
Blaine replied, “No, you did it.”
“It’s crazy he did that to me,” Blaine told the audience, pointing out that Davidson still had his hands on his and was at risk of injury.

“By the way, it’s a good thing you didn’t choose that one, because that would have been bad,” the endurance artist said, lifting the third cup with the ice pick. ‘How did you know that?
“Uh, I didn’t,” Davidson replied, making the crowd laugh. “I was just really scared.”
The clip then cut to the next segment where Davidson was about to pierce Blaine’s biceps with the ice pick.
“After that, we’ll be best buddies,” Davidson joked. “Come to Staten Island next weekend.”
The audience could be heard moaning and screaming with grimaces as they watched him slowly push the sharp object into Blaine’s arm, with barely a response from the performer.
With the help of the other volunteer on stage, they completely pierce Blaine’s bicep muscle and the ice pick comes out the other side. At the end, Blaine reportedly raised a young boy to extract the ice pick from his arm.
