There’s a new video on You-Tube which shows the exam for a 3rd-level Nei-kung by the first westerner student of John Chang, the Magus of Java, who is teaching the Mo Pai school of kung-fu. To pass 3rd level a student must demonstrate certain telekinetic abilities by using his yin chi.
You can read more about Nei-Kung, John Chang, his amazing abilities and his school in the book The Magus of Java: Teachings of an Authentic Taoist Immortal by Kosta Danaos, another student of his. I’ve read it and highly recommend getting it, if you’d like to read first hand account with this rare man.
The description to the following video on Youtube.com site tells the following:
It was just last year I found this person. He is the first Westerner to ever be admitted into the ancient school of Mo Pai. About four or five other Westerners have become students, but all have failed for one reason or another. There has never been another Westerner to have ever reached the 3rd level.
This person is currently in training to go on to the 4th level of nei-kung which is different from chi gong, despite what other alleged, pseudo authorities say.
The short segment is his testing for the 3rd level when he passed in 2000.
Notice that the boxes are against a wall, and they fall forward and not backward as if there was something blowing them backward from the front. There are two methods of either pulling them forward or pushing them backward. The distance between his hand and the boxes is over 9 feet; a tape measure is seen on the floor.
As you can see in the video, along with the Wester student is the world famous master/teacher, John Chang and his son.
I think the video speaks for itself, although the quality is quite poor, since for some reason the put the camera against a bright window, which washed out much of the detail. What do you think of this video?
Since I posted "The Last Qigong Demonstration of John Chang" ( http://www.martialdevelopment.com/blog/final-qigong-demonstration-of-john-chang/ ) I've discovered two more of his videos, of which this is one.
The video above is neither very entertaining nor educational, so I'm not sure why it was posted on Youtube. Surely it won't change anyone's (itsreal/itsfake) opinion on the matter.
I have another interesting video of a neigong student lighting a fire with his palm, but I don't have permission to post it.

Can you share the video of the nei kung student lighting paper on fire with me? If you email me, we can discuss matters that we are not aloud to discuss to the public. My email is wangmurasaki@yahoo.com
Are you lowering your skeptical standards. This video is totally unacceptable as evidence of anything other than visual trickery.
Not only are the boxes put in front of a garage window with full sunlight streaming in, the third man is completely out of the picture and we cannot see his actions at all.
For me, this video goes straight to the trash. I'm not even sure if Victor Zammit would put it on his website, it's that bad.
You're right that this video is no evidence and I wouldn't put other video of such quality on my site. Yet, the video is not of a random person, as Master Chang is quite known since he was on the documentary film "Ring of fire" and consequently in the book "The Magus of Java", of which I've written before. The previous videos were of higher quality (professional filming), so I put this video as a sequal, so to speak.
If you tend to believe the higher quality videos of him, which I posted earlier and believe Kosta Danaos who wrote a whole book about his experience with John Chang, then you'll tend to believe this video is real as well, since the second person can be identified as John Chang.
If you don't believe the other videos, then surely this one won't convince you. I've not put it here to convince anyone.

Jacob,
I didn't mean to be so harsh, but being a person who, like many others that visit your site, want science to precede metaphysical claims, this post seemed counterproductive.
I don't know much about Master Chang, but even the pencil through the table in the other video was shot poorly with limited visibility to the entire setting.
When I can, I will do more research on my own into his claims.
I truly appreciate you bringing new ideas and thinking to the table.
