Regium: Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence

I want to believe!!! (but...)

I stumbled upon another history of fake campaign on Kickstarter
www.businessinsider.com/fake-kickstarter-almost-took-120000-2013-6?IR=T

The name of the company responsible was literally "fun" 🙃

@archbishop when I was a kid I used to take a powerful magnet connect it to some small metal object through the table then hide underneath and move it when someone walked by.

@J4Pins your English is still better than mine. I agree with your post too. There are millions of scammers working full time in any market, they are very familiar with kickstarter campaigns sadly. Kickstarter in particular has a reputation for scammers, but the scam campaigns are quite easily detectable to anybody who is internet savvy, so most of the time they fail. On the other hand, The number of people who do get away with it will be higher than those who get prosecuted for fraud. In time I imagine that online fraud will slow down once technology and enforcement agencies focus more on the cyber world.

I have to say though it is encouraging to see how everybody came together here providing all this information with a team spirit.

I think i have figured out how they moved the pieces in their Q&A video. Invisible thread. Used in magic tricks to do all kind of illusions especially levitations and moving objects without touching them or being close to them. Invisible thread is almost impossible to see especially against dark backgrounds. Google for it and you’ll see what I mean.

yeah, but in the first video it was confirmed to be video editing. Maybe they did use invisible strings in the second one.

@chesslegendmaster yeah I’m talking about the Q&A video
