Banksy's art shred 'every time' in rehearsals, but malfunctioned at Sotheby's

In a video released Wednesday, Banksy revealed the "Girl With Balloon" shredding stunt malfunctioned at Sotheby's, noting that it "worked every time" in rehearsals.

Also revealed: the mechanisms inside the frame that supposedly shredded the art were more complicated than the originally shown X-acto blades.

Its new owner, a woman in good standing with the auction house, paid 1.04m for the pre-shredded work and will keep it. The ribboned piece is now called, "Love Is in the Bin."
