Sai Baba

The video was hard to see much detail, but from what i could see, itwas trying to point out what is happening when Sai Baba isperforming "miracles". It seems the video's main purpose is to isolatewhat is actually happening in his hands as if to try to prove that itisn't any magic. The people who are there probably are seeing a biggerpicture and perhaps distracted by other things going on. So, they arenot being skeptical or trying to catch every detail of the trick. Theyare in awe of the whole production and missing tiny little leaks ofproof that there is no magic, only quick, skillful hands that arefaster than the eye.

This is how these leaders are able to attract such a following. Theypull in weak impressionable people and put on a show for them. Peopleare led to believe that these leaders can do something that they cantand that they must desperatley seek to be like them or be around themfor their own spiritual enlightment.
