Be Skeptical of Applied Kinesiology Muscle Testing

(Coming soon we put AK to a DOUBLE bind test) We test the claim that a cell phone near the heart can change your strength. This is only a single blind test, not a double, and is designed to quickly test both Applied Kinesiology and claims that cell phones can change your strength.

Several of my friends have found this video confusing. It's not clear what is being debunked since you have two absurd things in play. In fact, if the opening title doesn't stick in a person's brain, one might end up thinking that you've debunked the cell phone thing and that AK is a reasonable test.

Good effort, but keep working to refine the focus and message of your videos!

@kvbeek Good point. Was done in a hurry, but more to come.

So glad you give so much publicity to the test.

fantastic demo...that if done improperly any test may give the wrong impression (you should be ashamed of yourself since one of your first video was how to detect when tests are being tricked, using those tricks is small :-) :-) :-) )

I have to object to this test.

The subject still knows whether he is holding the iphone to his heart or not. I would suggest doing this with two phones, a real one and a fake one. Let a third person put the phones in two different bags and then test with each phones, maybe roll a dice and then 1 or 2 = no phone, 3 or 4 = bag 1, 5 or 6 = bag 2. Then afterwards you can see which one was the real phone. Not that it will make any difference to the test results :) Keep up the good work, love it!

Nice to see you chose Sydney's most southern 'city' beach to hold your tests!! Next time you are there go to Surf Rd for a coffee, look for the place with the music blaring and the photos from all round the world on the walls... some of them are taken by skeptics!! Yeah :)

My iPhone is close to my heart too. All my Apple  products are.
