Ninja Handymen

So quick you probably won't see them at work

Long ago, in the swirling mists of the mountains of Hokkaido, a secret society was formed by unemployed carpenters, fitters, turners, plumbers and electricians (yeah, I know... cut me some slack here).

Nowadays, what with international travel and all these Ninja Handymen are coming to a town near you!

Watch as they throw ten lightbulbs into the air, spinning each one so it screws itself into the Edison Screw socket as it strikes home.
See an apparently frail old man throw 20 nails and nail a board perfectly straight and level, each nail slightly countersunk.
Observe as a plumber throws a short length of pipe so violently it passes clean through a double brick wall without need for external sealing.

Ninja Handymen, dressed in mysterious black robes and masks so you never see their faces... what they don't know about construction work isn't worth knowing.
