Good stuff, I've seen this guy in other videos too.
It shouldn't be too surprising. The body is mainly water which conducts electricity very well and our brain works on electricity soooo you do the math

One would think that after all this time and all the effort that real magicians have put into explaining how these things work, that there would be just a few less gullible people in the world who are suckered by this stuff. Oh, well. I guess it's true that there's a sucker born every minute... and two to take 'em.

It seems like most magicians are "in" it for the money and recognition, you know, your "money for nuthin and your chicks for free". That relatively doesn't seem to be the case with these two videos. I seriously doubt the man in the video has a Bentley or Lamborghini parked at his mega suite in Vegas waiting for his next Special on TV. What exactly is their motive then? That is the part that intrigues me.
How can you tell, they both looked similar to me.

Anyway,,, Is it just me or was he holding the ground side of the LED?
I noticed that too, it looked like they were treating his left eye in the video, but doesn't help his case as a miracle worker for sure.
In the video the guy was wearing an eye patch so... I guess he wasn't cured.

One of my Aunty's boyfriends could do the hand heating thing. He was in martial arts and he could willingly warm up his hands. It is nothing special, just a way of overriding the brain's protect only me principle. When your body starts to get cold, it reserves its heat to the center and the brain, deeming the arms and legs expendable. This is a natural response like blinking, and also like blinking you can turn it off or control it. So, with enough focus and practice you can tell your body to focus the heat in your hands etc. Heating your hands possibly lighting paper on fire is not all that special, the one I never heard of was the lighting a light bulb and more of what the second video showed. Perhaps it is like how you can charge an Ipod with a CPU(computer processor). In this case the brain is the CPU if you can run your thought in a similar manner to that of the software for charing an Ipod, you may be able to produce and electric current. This seems to be supported by the fact that the guy had to meditate all the time. I know the hand heating is possible first and second hand, second as in my Aunt's past boyfriend and if first hand, I heated up a drink before with my own hand. The electric current though seems much more "faked" but, who knows for sure, there is electricity in the body just like there is heat.
This made my day....what a great future humanity could .....will have. Never say never!

The ground side of an LED has a bigger chunk of metal in it.
