Final note: after completing this video and realizing there's a 5th method (linked to above), I came up with a 6th, 7th, and 8th method to complete this same trick, and there are almost definitely even more ways to do this same faith-healing stunt. I have yet to see a faith healer use these last few techniques, but it doesn't mean that they never will, so keep your skeptical wits about you.
Thank you so much for your ongoing support. Science is greater than Dogma. Dare to be curious, but don't Drink the Koolaid!
