Well, I guess he was somewhat right...
I've been trying to teach myself to hold fire between my hands, and though I'm thinking that actualy holding fire in your hands is impoossible (I ALREADY know skeptics, so don't bother to further point it out!), I've found that heat raising, isn't. It's pretty cool. What I do to get this(I know skeptics, I know) is hold my hands like as to make a psi ball, but straight, and I think: 'Faster, faster, friction, friction, fire, fire!' It's cool. To me. Feel free to try it if you want, but you don't have to believe it or tell me it's impossible if you're a skeptic. I know it is, and nothing you can say can change that.
See ya!
