While it may look like a particularly gruesome DIY lobotomy, this Shaolin monk in Chinais showing how he has trained his body to withstand incredibly sharp objects.
In a series of stunts that should most certainly not be tried at home, Zhao Rui held a running electric drill to the side of his head without breaking the skin, bent an iron bar against a wall with his throat, and led on metal spears while breaking stones with his head.
The display was intended to show how the 24-year-old had trained his body during his years of martial arts training - and his skills have made him a celebrity in his home city of Mianzhu in south-western China's Sichuan province.
But the 24-year-old admitted that he has previously accidentally drilled a hole in his head when practising the stunt, ripping off a large piece of skin.
He said: 'It was pretty painful but I got better and I learned from the experience and now I can practice pretty often without any problems.'
And to prove the point he held a drill against his head for 10 seconds.
Bending the rules: He also bends iron bars between his throat and a wall
Scoring points: His routine also involves lying on metal spikes while breaking stones over his head
