What happened to Magician Max at the Kai Cenat Subathon? Kai fumes when prank goes wrong

Jacob Hale

Kai Cenat was left stunned after Wizard Max pulled off a huge stunt on his stream, potentially putting his life in danger and putting Kai at risk of being banned from Twitch, or worse.

Kai is reaching the end of his month-long subathon, called ‘Mafiathon 2’, and has broken all kinds of records along the way.

Most notably, at the time of writing, he aims to reach nearly 600,000 subscribers, a record that many couldn’t even imagine would ever be possible.

However, his stream was derailed in the early hours of Wednesday, November 27, when Magician Max – also known as Max Major, who he has worked with in the past – attempted to perform a stunt that put his own life in danger.

Magician Max ‘joke’ risked his own life

Kai and his friends were taken to the basketball court where Max stood on a scaffolding with three rope nooses tied behind him. Each rope was tied to a pull string that was placed in front of Kai, who was given the choice of which color string he wanted to pull.

After a test drive, Kai was left with two cords, after which Max placed one around his neck and let Kai choose, saying he “knows he will make the right choice.”

Kai pulled the red cord and Max rose into the air, immediately causing everyone present to be seriously disturbed as Kai told the crew to “put the camera down.”

When Kai got back to his setup, he found a note with a URL for a video, with Max explaining that it had all been pre-meditated and that he knew exactly what was going to happen.

Kai went on to explain that he had no idea what the trick would be when Max talked to him about it, only that he was told it would “break the internet.”

He added: “Max told my team that ultimately he was doing something completely different, it had nothing to do with that. Then he did.”

He spent about an hour thinking about the situation and tried to contact Max to have him come back and explain, but the magician refused all calls and would not return.

Finally, he sent Kai a text saying, “Let the story be what it is” and that returning to the stream won’t change anything.

Kai faces resistance due to stunt

Since the clip started going viral, Kai has faced backlash from fans and critics alike, saying he shouldn’t show that content on stream.

Some users shared the clip claiming that Kai had “complete control” over what was happening, suggesting that he had been told where the cords were attached and simply couldn’t have pulled them.

However, some argued that it was “not Kai’s fault” and that he should not be under fire because he and his team were misled.

Kai ultimately decided to move on and continue his stream as usual, although the moment and everything that followed went viral in the hours after.

The streamer has had some big moments with some big celebrities during Mafiathon 2, including Marlon Wayans and Chris Brown, and he will be hoping this doesn’t overshadow the overwhelmingly positive memories of his subathon.
