A ‘magical stunt’ in Poland took a very painful turn, after the magician accidentally impaled the hand of the chat-show host he was demonstrating on, the Daily Mail reports.

Agonizing footage shows Question For Breakfast host Marzena Rogalska, 46, holding her hand over a paper bag, readying for a stunt that a Poland's Got Talent semi-finalist has prepared.

But when the magician tells Marzena to drop her hand, she screams in agony - as it's impaled on a huge nail.

The host continues to screech as she collapses onto the floor, leaving the magician and his assistant looking worried.

Eventually, they spring into action after it becomes clear Marzena needs medical help.

The magician and his assistant both examine her hand while she cries on the floor.

They help pull her up, before leading her off camera to seek treatment.

Marzena did not appear on the programme for the rest of its duration. 

According to producers of the programme, the trick had been rehearsed before the segment was filmed and had gone off without a hitch.
