Fearless Eli Martinez has taught a deadly predator to perform a stunning shark spin.

To make the spectacular stunt possible, the 44-year-old from Texas, allows the one ton shark to approach him. The video shows him stroking shark’s nose and lifting her up in the waters just off Tiger Bay, Bahamas until her powerful frame is vertical. With the calmest of touches, Eli lets the world’s second deadliest shark perform a 180 degree spin in the palm of his hand before she swims off.
