Interesting video but Chinese people have learn to do that as a kid. Streetfighter fireballs are real!

Okay, I watched the video, and I didn't read any of the comments on YouTube or any of the comments on this thread. What I witness was a newspaper bursting into flames via a chemical reaction. In fact, you can hear it in the video. The cigarette-smoking, self-proclaimed pure-as-silk guru somehow at one point placed the chemical(s) into the wadded paper, whereupon in a short period of time reacted and the paper flared up.

How close am I?

two chemicals rubbed together can spark the fire. there's a video on it on youtube. also, they claim he's a chinese dude but he sounds filipino.

Fire may have its uses, but what is it really? Fire is destruction.

Chi is available for any and all to use. But it is extremely difficult to use it in a fire-making way for something useful. Oh sure, you could use it to start campfires, or to light the furnace in winter. But the thing that I mean is this.

When the guy - or any guy/gal - can create a newspaper, complete with up-to-date stories using chi, then I would think that this is useful. Otherwise, all it will be used for is fire... something generally thought of as destructive, can even get you jail time for arson.

Humans can't generate much higher temperatures than body temperature, let alone igniting newspaper. If he is the real deal, he could have set a flat page of newspaper on fire rather than scrunching it up. He must have hidden something inside.

It's called magic aka entertaining bullshit. Next you'll be calling David Blaine a Daoist Master  .

If he was the real deal, he could easily be a millionaire by now: http://web.randi.org/the-million-dollar-challenge.html - oddly enough, no one has been able to claim that prize, so far.

You people of western culture and beliefs just can't understand that there are more secrets than we can imagine. This is one of them!

[ARadzi]

I dont know what to believe. Have seen so many of this kind and it was all just plain BS

[Lauda]

Well looks like obvious bullshit to me. Do you want me to make a video of 'my chi' 'eating' metal?

What is Chi? It's supposedly a form of energy that flows along meridians through your body. Why do people believe in it? The ancient Chinese knew a lot and their technology was advanced in the ancient world, except for medicine. They had a taboo against dissection and knew very little about the body. That led them to combine mystical beliefs with healing and invented Chi energy.

We know for a fact that the structures they thought were in the body are not really there. Nor has anyone ever found evidence of chi energy. Chi is a belief system that has zero basis in reality. Obviously this fire is a parlor trick.

Yeah, we don't need fire to cook food or people to heal each other with their electromagnetic field or anything.

As long as we have our newspaper to centralize information and propaganda, we're good.

That challenge is a sham.  They require you to have been on tv, which is centralized media.

Yeah, that's why. They also require you to leave the bottle of sodium in oil behind.
Everyone who refuses the Amazing Randy's challenge has an excuse of some kind.

I'd love to levitate for them and I would if they didn't disqualify me from their bogus requirements.

I'll post another one for y'all.

[maku]

Dank,. you can fly? I would like to see video of that. I've seen one levitating man in X-factor before but it probably was a hoax. Now you can show me how it is done.

So go on TV.  I'm sure once you levitate you'll get all kinds of publicity.

The sham is you.

No shit, that the first thing that came into my mind. Holy smokes!
