I will be googling what you mentioned but no this isn't that.

It was filmed awhile ago, if it was legit it would be a ground breaking discovery and certainly wouldn't have been largely forgotten.
Academia can be a surprising farce. That blog post doesn't completely debunk it for me. The fact is all claims of real magick can be explained away by citing the construction of similar illusions.
Here's something from the comments:
Quote:Hi Kevin,
You may or may not be aware, but when the TV show from which the video clip was taken was broadcast by the BBC back in the 1980s, it caused a sensation.
Several people tracked “Jack Chang” (an English name of convenience, not his Chinese name) down, and he adopted a few of them and began to train them in the basics of Nei Kung.
As far as I know, none of those people have made it past level 2 of the Mo Pai system, but they have already achieved exratordinary things. They all state categorically that:
1) Chang is neither involved, nor interested in, chicanery, and the things he did for the documumentary makers didn’t involve stage-style tricks
2) that he makes a good living running a small business and offers his healing sessions at cost, i.e. he has no interest in making money from what he has learned of Nei Kung
3) one of the first things his teacher taught him was to avoid fame and publicity, and after some fiascos where he has a misunderstanding that his demonstrations filmed by the BBC crew wouldn’t be broadcast widely, and after some other video leaked out, he stopped taking new students, and is refusing to demonstrate his work on film any more. He goes by his Chinese name in his local community, and he has made himself extremely difficult to find.
The people who have trained in the Mo Pai system have all stated that it is extremely dangerous, and one student who injured himself and had to drop out wrote a book about his experiences: look up 2 books by Kosta Danaos on Nei Kung (they’re available on Amazon)
What you may not realize in your reply above is, that you’re looking at Chang through the lens of your own worldview. In your westernized, scientistic society, you’ve probably never met someone who doesn’t care what anyone thinks, and feels absolutely no need to prove himself to anyone else- who in fact avoids that.
There’s a reason Mo Pai practitioners have carefully selected their students, and have trained them to stay away from fame or publicity. If you follow up on this, it wil become obvious why.
