Arthur, maybe you should take a look at the comments made on that video.

You don't really need to read the comments to figure out how he does it. The explanation is ridiculously simple and to be honest I expected something thats harder to figure out. What exactly makes you think that theres no other explanation for it but telekinesis? You don't see the guys face, and if he's indeed blowing at the toothpick and the can(which is very likely) I can understand why he doesnt want to show his face. Arthur, don't be so naive and stop living in a dream world. You're seeing magical powers where there are none just because you want them to exist. But you have to realize that this simply is not real. You are deceiving yourself. I don't want to be mean to you and I'm not saying this because I like smashing peoples dreams. I'm saying this because gullible people like you, who are impressed by cheap tricks like this one are easy targets for con men.

Actually I doubt whether it makes sense to convince you if, after all that has been said in this topic, you come back, post a cheap video and say it "looks realistic". I think I've said enough. What you do with the advice posted in this topic is up to you.

Its more than ignorance, Arthur. You were directed to james Hydrick being exposed by James Randi. Did you not bother to watch? Hydrick fooled a bunch of idiots into thinking he had supernatural powers and all he did was conceal his breath and made the claim he moved objects with his mind.

The guy in this pitiful video wouldn't even need to blow on it with his own breath. He could have two friends helping, or even a pneumatic device. There is absolutely nothing to be gained from watching that video... except ignorance.

Could someone please edit the typo in the subject, it's actually starting to annoy me for some reason :/ Thanks.

evenwolf · Sun 27/05/2007 17:57:00

The spelling is bothering you? What about the proposal of making the damn things itself? Leave it be.

Phemar · Sun 27/05/2007 18:32:48

It's general discussion. While I may agree with you that psi balls are a pretty silly idea, it's not a stupid thread and we can't stop people from discussing in it. :/

Anyway thanks for editing the subject.

Zor, your sig! It's a reversed contradicting metamorph phrased as an anagram! Everyone knows that.

Victor: Damn.. you did know..

i sometimes read the comėnts.,
And i watched ''james randi exposes hydrick''

The funny thing is that lots of people can pull of these tricks and do it much better, but they don't claim to be psychic or paranormal. But as soon as somebody promises what he does is absolutely "real" and actual telekinesis or telepathy or whatever, then thousands of people blindly believe them.
Even though they just saw a better trick which was explained and revealed. Strange.

I understand that running your very own chat forum would be a dream come true, but please don't do it here.
