Overview
Kai Cenat and Magician Max Major Hanging Prank refers to an incident during Twitch streamer Kai Cenat's Mafiathon 2 subathon in which magician Max Major performed a "hanging prank" performance, which spawned backlash and criticism on the internet. Major later clarified the stunt purposely "failed" after Cenat made the wrong choice of pulling the red handle, which the magician claimed the streamer wanted by hoping to see him fail, perceiving it as giving Cenat exactly what he wanted. Clips of the livestream quickly went viral on Reddit and X / Twitter in late November 2024, as well as reactions and memes to the ensuing controversy.
