Oh, it sure is, but nothing that wouldn't be getting out of the range of Right Speech...

Pure and unadulterated BS.
Years ago I studied Aikido under a very charismatic teacher who would do similar things and hoodwink his students, myself included, to unconsciously go along with it and self-choreograph being 'thrown' by Ki energy.
But thanks for the link CG, it made for some entertaining viewing.
kind regards

“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”
- Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.
- Sutta Nipata 3.725

This neatly illustrates the ban on monastics from claiming extra-ordinary powers. Without a doubt is a rather goofy, dumbassed display. Nerdy, red shirt guy is a good slapstick comic.

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …
...
He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

I think you guys have missed the main point here...this stuff is a trojan horse.
The real power lies in the whiney, flutey, music that always introduces these type of videos.
Its a style of music called Glasshoppado and its made by collecting the essence of Eastern Mystery, which is then distilled by the use of certain well known secret mantras and transcribed as music.
Just a few seconds exposure to it guarantees no rebirth lower than frog level.
