LONDON, Oct. 28 (UPI) -- A British YouTuber posted a video online showing how he used an Instagram post to crash the London premiere of Spectre and the film's after party.

James Ware posted a video to YouTube detailing how he falsified a ticket to the premiere of the new James Bond film starring Daniel Craig by using the bar code from a ticket posted to Instagram. Ware said he used Photoshop to fake his own pass "in a way which James Bond himself would be proud of."

Ware showed up to the Oct. 26 event in a Mercedes Benz booked via Uber and was able to get into the Royal Albert Hall in London using his falsified ticket.

The video features red carpet cameos from Sam Smith, Chris Evans and Naomi Harris and brief sightings of celebrities including Prince Harry, Prince William, Kate Middleton and Daniel Craig.

Ware, fresh off the success of premiere crashing, next used the gold border of a royal letter included in his program to falsify a gold bracelet to get into the event's star-studded after party.

"I literally can't believe it, I've used up all my luck for this year and next year," he says in the video.
