Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[nyctuber]

This is the greatest part of the Mylow magic act. No mater what is said and shown, some one will believe he really did it.

It would not mater if folks for the next ten years tried to replicate such, and failed, some will believe what was claimed in the show.

Again no reputable validation of original,+ no reputable replication of the claim, = not REAL.

They also need to realize that his persona is that of someone who is nervous and trying to seem legitimate, rather than someone who is legitimate and seems nervous. Big difference. He reminds me of a little kid trying to convince his parents he didn't break their expensive china.

YEAH RIGHT.

I promised I would not post in this thread again, but you people are incredible.

First running presentation

He has the camera in his right hand.
He grabs the stator assembly with his left hand (while still holding the camera with his right hand, and starts sliding the stator assembly to the left to bring it in position.

Yes at one point he moves his left hand to the stator assembly to adjust something near the hole. But then he puts his hand under the rotor plate and moves that.

He is not moving the stator he is moving the rotor . .

Aqariuz :
i can't believe you can't see that !

If you are having trouble seeing what is being moved at that point - stator or rotor - watch the rotor magnets on the aluminum plate and use the wall as a fixed reference point -
it's the rotor plate that's moving NOT the  STATOR and you do need glasses if you can't see that.

The only reason to move the rotor plate is to tighten the drive string.
Don't forget this setup was his first location - he had lots of time to figure everything out for the trickery .. lighting - string placement .. etc etc

It's when we asked him to move to a glass table that things became tougher for him to adjust as effectively.

Anyway .. i guess people will just believe what they choose  too.

Myself ..  i put hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars into trying to get his configs to work .. and i am pretty convinced now with that experience to bear that he was just lying since the get go. 

No replications to date ..  and many have tried.
Thats fact not fantasy.

I cannot help the way you view it, but you have made my point for me, thank you.

Nah - just pointing out the biased nature of the second part... you start by saying that we are all capable of biased opinion, but then (effectively) go on to explain how you need to 'get over that' and agree with you that your opinion is the only 'correct' one.

I'm sure that you don't actually believe that - it's just the way it read.

Hehe..

Hopefulls: They "want to see" no string - and don't.
Skeptics: They "want to see" a string - and do.

...but somehow your position is that 'bias' doesn't apply to someone with a skeptical mindset?  Those people aren't included in the earlier "all" statement?  Cool.

It is apparent that you fail to construct the rest of the jigsaw, but since it has already been stated so many times on this forum and in the yahoo groups I see no reason to go into it again.
But I'll give you this much, there is a bias, but it is a bias weighed by all the other evidence, accept it or not, I and others see the line in video 6.
