Wth? This guy is immune to electrocution!

Post by KellyBass »

It seems that he's a conductor!...and I don't mean orchestral.

Anyone heard of this guy before? Any thoughts in how he could possibly pull this off? Imagine how nice it would be to check continuity without a meter!

I'm impressed by the demonstration...but not the science. Wonder what's really going on. Talk about "skin effect"!

I'm a carny. I know people who do all kinds of stuff. It's all complete bullshit. I mean, it never is what they say it is. Reality isn't always as it appears or whatever.

Have either of you peeps ever seen a transformation show? Guy turns into a gorilla? Only joint on the midway with the flaps untied.

You're a carny?! That's awesome!

I've always had a strange fascination with such things...

I'd love to see a transformation show! Any cool carny links?

Light bulb limiter trick. Ohms Law at work. Low current. The volt meter thing is part of the gag!

Hot plate has more R than a light bulb, doesn't it? How about we plug him into the filament circuit of an amp?
