  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

A invisible bridge perhaps? :)

May be he can do it again when it is windy and wavy, like what happened to Jesus and Peter.

If this is an one-time performance, then what is the message? Almost for sure, it will be neither beautiful nor powerful.

The approaching boat defeat this hypothesis.

I don't recall ever seeing the boat pass where he had walked. Such an addition to the the trick would be nice, but would require some sort of mobile platform. Probably doable, but the would need to work out the engineering.

The Bridge just has to be multi secitional that collapses or is lowered after they walk by it

Actually, I read a bit online and someone said if you look closely, it appears one of the boats hits something. I don't see it though.

The main give away that's it's a platform is:

1) no one seemed to go down and follow him

and

2) his feet aren't on top of the water, but are slightly submerged in it.

Watch the behavior of the wave. if something hidden just beneath the water, the wave will tell it.

See the film at 2:50 exact. there was wave breaks nearby him.

He is an illusionist. The idea is to give the impression of impossibility.
How did he do it?
The site explains the likely solutions.
What is the explanation?

Until there is evidence to suggest otherwise, he really did walk on water.

Can you explain how he walked on water, or how he appeared to be walking on water?

No guessing please. Evidence only. :)

I can show you the instructions for the illusion, $15,000, or $5,000 If you have an active magic castle account

Walking On Water
Look, we all can see a man walking on water. Why are you guys trying so hard not to believe what we all can see?

I don't get it. :confused:

If you have evidence that it's only an illusion, then provide the evidence.

If not, then let the observation speak for itself.

Surely an observation can serve as evidence, right?

We have observational evidence of a man walking on water, but no evidence that it's an illusion. :)

I'm much more impressed with water skippers or water striders than some bozo trying to pretend he can do same thing Christ did. Jesus really did walk on water, this "magician" who knows what he did or didn't do, and frankly I don't care.
