PK Thunda!

I have to disagree with you. Godspeed09's videos legitimate videos that may or may not prove that he utilized a type of telekinesis. I have read his manuscript, it does not necessarily meant to tell how its preformed but merely states simple requirements of anybody that is willing to learn. I practice meditation and through self discovery have found that one can learn to manipulate more of his body than normal given enough time. I myself am able to dilate my eyes at will and control body temp

[zarazarathustra]

these small abilities i learned through meditation. Now your video here is a good demonstration of "magic tricks" but that doesn't mean that godspeed09's videos are as well. Just because you came to the same result doesn't mean you used the same process. Telekinesis is real.

[newnamenoreason]

Telekinesis has been proven. Have you ever heard of quantum physics?

[edinburghskeptics]

@newnamenoreason Yes I have. You clearly haven't however.

[newnamenoreason]

@edinburghskeptics I'm not going to get into a debate with you. Our thoughts/attention/subconsciou­s/perception, whatever you want to call it directly affects reality. It's proven. I also know from personal experience. You're the one who will feel really stupid when it's common knowledge in 25 years and all your work and "proof" is going to go in the trash. Have fun wasting more of your time.

[EricGalesMusic]

@edinburghskeptics Well said! Love that response!

@newnamenoreason

just lol! :)

Could you guys take a look at my videos?

[volcomstoneee13]

all i have to ask is how can he unscrew the cap off a bacardi bottle,(glass bottle metal cap) without touching it...theres no way a thread, a magnet, wind(breath) or even heat could produce the effect of that cap unscrewing itself...honestly, thats amazing. the only thing that is left to debate about this, is have u ever tried yourself.? if u believe yourself can, and then try, you might actually surprise the hell out of yourself, but if you try skeptically, u will positivly fail

[edinburghskeptics]

@volcomstoneee13 I will admit that the bottle lid removing from the bottle is a good trick, however there is not enough frame of reference in the video to adequately exaplin it, one possible way is that the thread is glued to the lid and attached to his thing (like the matchbox) and as long as the lid isn't on too tight it will come off when he moves his leg.

[edinburghskeptics]

Godspeed never shows the full picture so we cannot see what else is going on in the room. His other videos are all fake and there is no reason to think this one isn't either, even if it is a good one.

I will re-address the bottle one in a later video as everyone seems keen to have it done, but for now I want to move away from telekinesis.

Don't worry, I will put one together.

[edinburghskeptics]

Ooops, that was supposed to be "attached to his thigh" not "attached to his thing". I might be giving Godspeed a little too much credit!

[mindfreak419666]

@volcomstoneee13 I can do it with thread its easy ..godspeed is a fraud

[rmephh]

Feels like a breath of fresh air to know I'm not the only one who prefers to see the world as it really is!

Hey, you're cute btw! What's your number?

[matatoms]

I've thought about how I may have sounded. You're right, maybe he is a fake. Maybe your totally correct and he doesn't have any powers or special abilities. If I did, I wouldn't think people would believe me either. Keep up the great work trying to disprove that telekinesis doesn't exsist.

[matatoms]

Haha! You have no idea what your talking about man. The kid has an ability that is unexplainable. He can do things, that some people wish to have. I've examined his videos carefully, They look authentic to me. You debunk them all you want, no one seems to care.

[edinburghskeptics]

Well you seem to care otherwise you wouldn't be here. Unexaplained does not mean supernatural. It just means you cannot exaplin it.

If you still think that things like spoon bending is a good example of telekinetic power then you are wrong. If Godspeed has any ability he would first of all show the whole area and have independant observers around.

There is alos a $1,000,000 prize on offer from the JREF if he can actualle demostrate he has powers.

[matatoms]

Debunk the dice and bottle trick, then the bottle cap trick. Bend a spoon while you are at it.

[edinburghskeptics]

@matatoms

The dice in the bottle could be done in a similar way, all it requires is a pin hole in the bottle cap and hey presto.

The bottle cap trick is intriguing, not 100% sure, but the way in which the cap leans toward the end looks like there is some sort of pressure applied. This is actually quite a good trick.

Spoon bending. Such old hat, but a good trick for parties.

Godspeed is quite good at these tricks and if he marketed himself as a magician would get more respect

[minijimi]

@edinburghskeptics Bottle cap is quite easy to explain. Invisible thread is wrapped around the bottle cap and someone off camera is pulling the thread. The cap unwinds. This is the reason that he is tilting the bottle.

[edinburghskeptics]

minijimi: Yeah, I was thinking something like that. Though I would suggest the thread could be attached to his leg instead so not requiring an extra person.

[minijimi]

You should try to duplicate it and post your video.

[edinburghskeptics]

@minijimi Might do at some point. Gonna move away from telekinesis for a while and look at some other claims.
