About
Make Sure It's On Low is a skit video in which the American magician Hagerman the Wizard pretends to be electrocuted by a 2 million volt discharge to the head from a Tesla coil. The clip, which features the magician saying the phrase "make sure it's on low," was originally posted on YouTube in August 2020 but resurfaced as a viral sound on TikTok in early January 2024, being used for comedy skits where people pretend to be electrocuted or hit by some bad habits like "the years of Ibuprofen kicking years later."
