Title: Behind the Incredibles
Description: , Leung Ting Co ,Hong Kong, 1991. 172, 22.4 x 2 x 29.2 cm, Hardcover. Zustand: 2. If you've ever seen a martial arts or Qigong demonstration with people performing feats such bending spears on their throat or withstanding being hit with planks of wood and thought it was real then this book will be a disappointing eye opener as it reveals them to be cheap conjuring tricks and nothing to do with the claimed "chi energy". Some examples: IRON BACK Performer has plank of wood smashed across their back, the wood snaps and the performer is uninjured This is done using a light brittle wood like poplar Wood is baked to make it as dry as possible Performer is hit with middle of wood not the faster moving end, middle is also made thinner than ends. IRON HEAD Performer sits on floor, pile of bricks are put on his head, a sledgehammer is brought down on the bricks on the performer's head, smashing the bricks. Performer is unhurt. Swinger of sledgehammer must stop on the bricks they do not swing through IRON BELLY Performer lies on floor face up, watermelon is placed on belly, assistant slices through watermelon with sword but performer is unhurt. Assistant must have perfect sword control and stop on the performer's belly and not continue on after cutting through watermelon, sword must be parallel to belly making a long contact line (this waters down impact), on contact with belly the sword must not be dragged across belly. The middle part of the sword is used to do the cutting and can be blunt while the top can be sharp and used for demonstrations of the sharpness of sword. The full range of tricks is not covered (eg karate chopping planks of wood is not explained ), the explanation of spoon bending is incomplete and some of the explanations are hard to understand, but this is still a very good book and a vital exposé of the deceit that goes on in the martial arts. Wer mal wissen will wie das funktioniert mit den ganzen "Shaolin-Chi-Magic-Tricks" ist mit dem Buch bestens bedient. Shaolin in allen Ehren, aber die Shows sind weitestgehend gefaked wie eine Zaubershow Behind the Incredibles [Gebundene Ausgabe] Englische Ausgabe von Ting Leung (Autor) Wing Tsun Kampfsport Selbstverteidigung Bewegungslehre BJJ Bruce Lee Emin Boztepe Ip Man Jeet Kune Do Kampfsport Kernspecht MMA Selbstverteidigung Sifu Oliver Gross Wing Chun Wing Tsun Oliver Gross Kampfsport Selbstverteidigung Bewegungslehre BJJ Bruce Lee Emin Boztepe Ip Man Jeet Kune Do Kampfsportler Kernspecht MMA Selbstverteidigung Sifu Oliver Gross Wing Chun Behind the Incredibles [Gebundene Ausgabe] Englische Ausgabe Ting Leung ISBN: 9627284165.
