Everything works in a demo.
But demo is 1/2 fake and 1/2 real. The

- 1/2 fake is your opponent will give you that opportunity.
- 1/2 real is you have to finish it.

If your opponent gives you that opportunity and also "help you to finish", that's 100% fake.

None of it is real. I've yet to see anyone who could do this against a skeptical opponent in demonstration. If someone makes a point of it being real, I'll point out the complete lack of evidence supporting it. If they persist, I'll point to videos that exist of people who did this sort of thing who failed miserably against skeptical opponents.
B...But their toes were in the wrong position!

Yep pretty much.

Unfortunately that is the majority of demos.

I once made a man fall to the ground, howling in agaony, begging for mercy, without ever even TOUCHING him.

I used a technique called Oleoresin Capsicum, highly effective :D

Beyond that, I am among the skeptics when it comes to most of this stuff.
