Did the ultimate video bomb occur during a SKY news report?

ByCraig Haley

SKY correspondent Ashish Joshi was giving a relatively standard news report in front of Westminster about David Cameron’s NHS reform plans when what appears to be the ultimate video bomb takes place.

Behind Ashish’s right shoulder appear two men and a piece of magician’s apparatus. The two men proceed to perform an impressive magic trick, all the while Joshi continued with his report, seemingly oblivious to the magic behind him. All of this during a live SKY report.

Well, that’s what a viral video spreading across the Internet would have you believe.

Sadly this isn’t (what we assume would be) the best video bomb ever in the history of live news reporting.

In reality it was all a stunt for a couple of magicians named Young and Strange, and Joshi was actually in on the prank.

It was done as part of a longer video featuring the pair of magicians and their attempts to get more exposure through television. A longer version of the video is also available on the Internet.

SKY News PR confirmed via a tweet that the “live news report” wasn’t a live news report at all, and never aired on TV.

Still though, the video is pretty hilarious and you can watch it below.
