i read about this guy in a book and looked him up... cant find anything debunkesque. even randi doesnt list him. seemed he passed all the tests back then.

not saying the dude is real but either way he knew what he was doing ^^

i take this as a no?

are you guys telling that not ONE skeptic is going to say anything?
i mean id really like to hear your opinions on this.

I don't know about skeptic, but using some logic, this isn't hard to explain. In the youtube video, you can see that he already has scars on his back where swords have previously been passes through. The process being done over and over again, would mean extensive scarring, a reason why he wouldn't bleed. (This could also be a mind thing like when people walk over hot coals and are somehow not burned). Having percise location where the swords are to be pushed through, is so it can pass where no vital organs are (which there are places this can happen). Having strong mind power (like the walking on hot coals thing) would be the reason he doesn't react to someone stabbing him, although if you look at the video, you can see he is sweating extensively, a reaction to pain by the body.

So that would be how I would explain it with what little there was to research into. Could be other reasons, but it doesn't look that miraculous to me. More about streching the limits of the human body than anything else.

if you read up on him he "supposedly" did let vital organs be pierced.
if it just pushing the body to extremes the dude still sick ^^

interesting and all i got was 1947 a Dutchman, Mirin Dajo, ...
ok i agree with dakasha organs did get pierced..did u see the scars? k i think most of them are by organs and could be mental, but even if it was mental your body will still send signals that your hurt i mean theres many people who can block pain,but they still bleed a little and walking in hot coals i think is pert diff than that, thats dealing with pain these are organs and its just diff. wonder why no one else have done it then if its only about your mind power.

well if its mind power then its some pretty freaky stuff and crazy enough that mabye he just is one of the only people to have mastered it

one of the things that puts me off is the time this guy did this. it was a really big paranormal hoax era. i wonder what randi has to say seeing that he trys to debunk everything.

The person has a blank expression on his face.
Won't hurt him really.
Probably he was surgically operated to insert a tube inside his body.
The assistant on this pic was making sure it goes on the right spot.

hmm that would be an explanation but if you read up on him it seems to not be the case...

I know what you mean but i also know some people have magic that even bullets won't hurt them.
Give me a toothpick and see if that person won't yell at me.

hmm yes like i said im not saying its not trickery. but it seems to have been some damn good trickery. like i said you have to read up. im also wondering if anybody mabye knows of a site that trys to debunk him.

either the dude is the real deal or he was great at what he was doinf. either way its interesting

I think there is a hole already that penetrates a safe way through him, pretty sick stuff. He will die like anyone els if you cut him with a sword on the right place.

Hmmm... have any of you guys heard that if you puch a push pin through your hand when in a hypnotic state it won't bleed? Maybe he's using that on himself to prevent bleeding where the usually would be some.

No he's not, it's fake. He's already been debunked on National television.

i'm skeptical about psychic things in general, but at least if people are trying to trick me they do a good job of making it interesting
