Guru Tries To Kill Man Via Magic On Live TV

Lord Xenu writes "When Pandit Surender Sharma, a famous Indian guru, made a boast about being able to kill people with his mind on live TV, someone actually took him up on the offer and asked him to prove it by killing him. After doing all kinds of things like chanting mantras and waving a knife around for hours, the guru was forced to admit defeat when his victim somehow avoided dying from laughter. It's not subtitled, but you can see the video on YouTube (part 2 | part 3) if you want to see it for yourself."

    Exactly, the empirical proof that such a thing is not possible (the fact that the guy is still alive) is explained away with excuses. This is the same thing going on with homeopathy, faith healing, healing touch, and other such alternative medicines. Still, it makes for great TV!
