Agreed.

I would literally bet money that somewhere between 95-100% of these "evidence" videos in fact utilize magic tricks. There was a skeptic here a while back (maybe a month ago) who actually made such a video, just to prove how it can be done fakely. It was very convincing. Search for it. thumbsup.gif

Leave all the magic stuff to the people in africa, they have schools there so no need to be practicing or careing about metphysic mind power

Darren Brown has been widely exposed as a fraud.

As for Criss Angel, iceguy06, you're arguing AGAINST yourself. Criss is known as a magician; If he can make it look so real, and he's a magician, doesn't that clue you in? mellow.gif
Avius
Whats that about derren brown?
iceguy06
true, but i would be cool if it was real.

Derren is a skeptic. His tricks are largely done to show how easy they are to, well, do. He's not pro-TK. tongue.gif

Plus, PsiPog is a heavily biased site and not very well respected at all. I wouldn't trust it for authoritive information. Ever.
Avius
i found psipog very useful until i got banned from there

Of course. If I wanted information on Judaism, I'd probably find a Neo-Nazi website to be useful too. However, that site is only going to give me a biased part of the information I'm seeking. Were I to go to Neo-Nazi sites and ONLY Neo-Nazi sites for information on Judaism, you'd find that I'd have a VERY skewed view of the subject, which is of course because I'd only have had one biased source of information!

Now, let's take that paragraph and substitute "psionics" for "Judaism" and "Psipog-like" for "Neo-Nazi".

the only thing that was useful there was the forums, their was people that have studied the stuff and exsperimented alot on the subject, there was just alot of information on how psionics works, like if you wanted to levitate one of the most easiest ways would probly be blacking your eyes out to trick your mind.
Anyways ive come along way and i now understand that i know all i need to know and all i need is the choice of myself.

It's all just an illusion man. Those guys are street magicians.

There fun to watch and interesting to see, but their all just glorified tricks to the eye.....
