After seeing it (almost) first hand in this footage, I was forced to re-evaluate my stance on every other reference to magic throughout history.
In addition to the video footage, in the past westerners have been able to seek out Chang and train under him. A Greek engineer did so for years and wrote a book trying to apply a scientific approach to what he witnessed and experienced. This book really shines an interesting light on not just the what observed in the video, but investigates possible answers for the how as well. In addition, it's just a highly engrossing book.
I believe John Chang is by far the most convincing case of human potential exceeding the limits set by our current paradigms. A thorough look into him and the mystery around him is able to shine a light on the many dark and seemingly disconnected areas that conspiracy research takes us.
Note: If your only contribution will be to cry "fake" or bring up some non-sequitur about Randi and his ilk of mental midgets, look up the Neurophysicist, Neurologist, Medical Doctor, Documentarian, and the Mechanical Engineer who helped design the F-18 fighter jet with General Dynamics, and debunk them first. They saw Chang with their own eyes and walked away convinced.
A more well studied practice, known as Tummo and practiced by Tibetan buddhists, is quite similar to the foundations of Chang's practice.
"During visits to remote monasteries in the 1980s, Benson and his team studied monks living in the Himalayan Mountains who could, by g Tum-mo meditation, raise the temperatures of their fingers and toes by as much as 17 degrees. It has yet to be determined how the monks are able to generate such heat."
Dr. Herbert Benson of Harvard Medical, also published in the journal nature.
"The researchers collected data during the unique ceremony in Tibet, where nuns were able to raise their core body temperature and dry up wet sheets wrapped around their bodies in the cold Himalayan weather (-25 degree Celsius) while meditating."
Similarly, Wim Hof has demonstrated a Westernized approach to g-Tummo that removes the more spiritual or "traditional" aspects in favor of a pragmatic "just what works" approach.
OK dip shit... Some LED can illuminate with such a low current. When your body touches another power source (let say leakage current from your nearby AC appliance), your body resistance is 'low' enough to conduct electricity from that appliance to illuminate the LED. Next I'm sure you're going to tell us the earth is flat right?

Or you can just realize you've been tricked. Never trust things that are too amazing to be true. They never are.

That footage was filmed in the late 90s, bozo, they didn’t have consumer-grade wireless LEDs back then lmao

What power source was the guy in the video connected to?
