Can you give it a rest with the macho nonsense.

It's worth noting that you are talking about going up against an experienced practioner of martial arts who also has a solid and comprehensive background in applying his training in real life.

To dismiss someone you don't know and assume you will have the upper hand is down right stupid, to do it to someone like Hannibal is absolutely ridiculous.

 

Haidarfarhan,

You mentioned opening a school in the UK?

Does that mean you will be here at some point?

 

The lies and evasions are self apparent

The sad thing is I think some people genuinely believe they have some gift....they NEED to believe it. A sweet lie is preferable to a bitter truth to them

However, even in the face of overwhelming evidence they STILL cannot get their heads around it - there is a wonderful book on it

The human mind does really odd things; the human body is not far behind. These videos have been posted before, but show a few salient points -

In ALL these cases there is NO actual "power" being used - it is all trickery, yet trickery that works....and ironically it is MUCH more impressive than the complete shash being presented elsewhere as evidence

The claims were tested and tested fairly - and they failed spectacularly....that should have been the end, but PT Barnum was certainly not wrong about humanity

 

What I find heart breaking is people like Janette Dietz in this video at 1'18" that Haidarfarhan posted, saying that it gave her hope that she may be able to function without a cane or a dog.

That should be prosecuted IMO

(has this nonsense really been going on for a year?)

 

I will posit a guess. There is no 'random' selection of colors, that's the illusion. You simply need to agree on a sequence beforehand (red, red, black, and so on) and tell the viewer 'random, random', and their eyes will be too busy verifying what they think they see, instead of logically inducing the reason. This is a common magic trick, the illusion of randomness (and I can tell Simon is all too aware!). Even if I'm wrong, bravo!

Based on what I read, this seems to fit the evidence presented in all the videos as well as the Randi examinations. Where the testing is truly controlled (i.e. Randi), the data suggests random guessing is just as efficient as 'vibravision'. The outcomes are statistically what you'd expect. The only place that is not statistically true, is in the uncontrolled 'tests' and 'demonstrations', which require little more than some previously agreed sequences (colors, shapes, movements). In those cases, it's entirely possible to game the demonstration by some basic set up and practice.

In fact I thought the one with the person riding a bicycle blindfolded was the clearest illustration of something that does not require magic powers. Any circus performer can perform far more dangerous and death defying feats while blindfolded, such as tightrope walking. A skill that can be trained? Sure, but only with regards to practicing the timing et cetera, not using any extrasensory perception (which is what 'Vibravision is ultimately claiming to be, a psychic phenomena).

 

Soon or later you will find that you were wrong.. I am Indonesian so I don't speak english very well, so excuse my english. I would suggest that you test this technique by yourself. Just draw anything on board or write anything you want with diff color and ask them to duplicate it or you could bring any books or any magazines and ask them to read. If they can do it would you believe it? Dont forget to buy bandaid and blindfold to make you sure you wont be "tricked". :hat:

 

Oh look another supporter of nonsense

It's fraud and a trick and I could disprove it instantly

 

Omg the loonies are back....do they let you out for the weekend every now and then? btw you English is fine

 

I miss Iron Fist. Can we welcome him back somehow?

 

I was like you before, I didn't believe it could do such things but I was wrong. Let me share the test I have done to one of Indonesian navy special force. I bought bandaid, electrical tape, and diving mask (painted in black). I put 3 bandaids to each eyes, bind it with electrical tape and put diving mask on him. obstacle avoidance (positioned by me), colour identification and finding balloon were passed 100%. I was thinking how he could do that trick, there must be some trick. I brought him to my house (still blinded) which he never been there and asked him to walk in and identify objects in my house. I told this guy if he passed this test I will wash his clothes for a week and if he lost he must salute the flag for a week 6 hours per day.....I lost the bet. He walked without hitting anything and objects were identified without touching. I am skeptical person as you do, I don't believe things easily, I challenged many paranormal here (which is a lot) and i caught them all BS but this technique blew my mind and everyone can learn it no matter what is your race and religion.

 

Unfortunately I am not in UK, I wish i could be there...
