Do people really believe that the tricks of the illusionist are true? We know that we are watching an illusionist so we know that there are special props involved to create the illusion. What we don't know is how the illusion is done. There are TV programmes which explain the tricks of the illusionist, and then it all becomes clear, but we can still appreciate the cleverness of the illusion.

jro5139 seems to be talking about something very different, a demonstration of the hidden forces of nature without the need for special props. And what we see may actually contradict all our existing beliefs.
