The Ping Pong Knife-Throwing Trick

(Video Link)

The Tumba Ping Pong Show is, if I understand it correctly, a Swedish performing arts group and video production team. The troupe consists of DJ Coolman, Mr. Sandman, Slightly Mad Max, Dr. Ders and Jokko-Yxxi. Their videos involve creative uses of ping pong paddles.

In this video, one performer uses a paddle to bat knives at the paddles held by another. Then he slices through a pineapple on the young woman’s head.

Is this video real?

At around the 15 second mark, if you pause it just right as she moves the second paddle, you can see that there's already a knife in it before it hits.

This is fake

Assuming that the table tennis paddles are real, just try to ram a knife into a ping pong paddle while holding it on the grip... i would expect it brake the grip rahter than catching the knife.
Similarly try to split a pineapple by throwing a knive... at least it would have changed it's flight path so you could see it dropping besides her...

I would have selected "Reality does not exist." but when I tried to select two answers I couldn't, so that means reality really does exist so I picked the first one.

He doesn't actually bat the knives at the paddles. She moves the paddles to intercept the knives.
