Debunking Hoaxes and false views

Here, I would put a host of videos on people claiming to do "magick" and debunk them.

1.   Immunity to Fire:


There's a three seconds rule where a burning flame must be focused onto the same spot without moving for 3 seconds. The constant moving of the flame causes it not to be focus.
2.   Immunity against Blades:


Scientific research have shown us how amazing, strong and flexible the skin is. Possible angle of blades, pressure placed, how it is cut or moved have to be considered. He should have test to proof the existance of such "magick" by putting out a cucumber or a stick, enchant it and asking a stranger using a natural motion and force to chop down on the cucumber or a stick. If the stick or cucumber or whatever gets chopped, well... good luck then.

3.   Jumping on a bunch of "sharp objects"


Same theory as walking on a bed of nails isn't it ?

4.   Swallowing nails


You may need to see a doctor. Could rip intestinal walls, throat...etc. If you are lucky, the nails are just too small I guess.

5.   Spearing the throat and withstanding a stone block shattering on the back

Have we not seen enough of these. This is qigong, not "magick".  

To summarize the above, I doubt the founders and ancient great masters have intended the misuse and showcase of such "magick", least, the possibility of deluding and misleading oneself and others ( a heavy sin ). Without careful consideration of the after effects (where people get attracted to these "magick" rather then to the philosophical and practical aspect of the teachings).

In my opinion, these "magick" shows could only serve to delude the senses and is definitely not what the great masters and founders of old may have wanted.
