That's cool you're into mixed martial arts btw, I was really into Judo and Aikido myself before I messed up my spine and had to quit. Which martial arts do you specialize in?

Yep, you pretty much understand what I mean now. Indeed nobody can train hard and long enough and jump 100 feet into the air, or in your example flap their arms to fly. What I'm talking about is accomplishing normal human feats, to far abnormal degrees. Do you ever watch Chris Angel on Mindfreak? He does some of the physical stuff I'm talking about, like him being a 160 lb man picking up that taxi, or having a truck run over him.... lol, I'm not sure how he walked down the side of that building since he stepped off it and walked away.

BTW, why did somebody give me bad rep on my first post with a comment of "good post":wtf:
Judo's pretty cool, I'm into mixed martial arts, but I've trained in JiuJitsu and a small stint in muay thai

But Chris Angel apparantly uses a lot of camera tricks. That and he steals everyone else's tricks. My Roommate's a magician and I know a few decent tricks. But yeah, Chris Angel is an ass. Some magician created a convincing illusion of walking on water, with an audience in the pool. He didn't want to tell anyone, but CA convinced him to tell, but if CA used it or profited from it in any way shape or form, the magician would sue him for 6 million dollars. lo and behold, a few months later the trick is on his show, the magician calls him up and asks what's going on, and CA responds (paraphrased) "I do mine differently, and in order to prove that mine's different you'd have to show your trick to the courts, and everyone would know your secret. See you in court"

Pretty assholish eh?

But yeah it's hard to believe some of the stuff that he does, and there's obviously a way that he does it, but I'm a sceptic by nature. I highly doubt it's because he's training himself to such a high level that he can do these things, and more than likely due to them being "tricks". Highly sophisticated tricks, yes, but tricks nonetheless.
