Boiling oil in a hot wok! This is the kind of oil we are going to use.
This cooking oil that you are seeing, can be got from any company
and has been poured, in front of us, into this wok.
There is definitely no magic in the oil itself.
It is normal oil that you and me use in our homes.
This oil is now getting hot in the wok.
You can see puris nearby. They are getting ready to be fried, and that too
with fingers! Don't ask me how this is going to happen because
Prof Nayak is with us, and with him are his colleagues and they will show us.
This time, I am really scared Prof Nayak
because, I can't see anything wrong with oil.
This is normal oil. The puris are ready, and the oil is about to boil. What will happen?
Prof Nayak: This is our friend Mr. Pramod, who is an expert at frying puris
and he will do this. We will drop the puri into the oil now.
Reporter: The puri is in the boiling oil as you can see now.
As the puri fries, it will perhaps slowly come up and float.
However, it will be taken out with bare fingers! That's a promise.
And this time we will have to see how this is possible,
and how science helps. Pramodji, the puris slowly are coming up!
Mr. Pramod: These puris you see, they will come out due to miraculous powers
because we have very special powers.
Reporter: These are the kind of promises that godmen make, says Pramodji.
If anyone tells you these kinds of things, please understand the matter carefully and be informed!
This is just a normal puri that has been dropped in the oil
and with a scientific method it is going to be removed from the boiling oil using just the fingers.
There is no miracle in this! There are no divine powers involved!
There is only, only, only science!
Let's see what happens.
It looks like, Prof Nayak will also fry some puris with his hands.
Mr. Pramod: Yes, he is ready.
These powers are from him, so if I can do it, so can he.
BOILING HOT OIL DID NOT CAUSE BURN SORES
HOW DID THIS MIRACLE HAPPEN?
Reporter: How are you doing this?! The puris are hot, the oil is boiling.
How are you able to pull them out with your fingers?
Prof Naik: This is happening due to our miraculous powers!
Rep.: Only godmen will say "miraculous powers"! That is why I have come to scientists.
Would you like to tell us what is happening, Pramodji?
Isn't it at all hot? Mr. P.: No, not at all. THIS IS NO MIRACLE, JUST SCIENCE
It feels just as if the oil has become completely cold.
It seems the oil's ability to harm has been neutralised by miraculous powers
All these people, who have taken training from us, can perform this miracle.
The science behind this "miracle" will be explained by Prof. Nayak.
I will pull out the puris
A short wait and the hot puris will be 
pulled out carefully by Prof. Nayak 
They have turned out nice and puffy
Here comes a second tasty puri
They're dripping with excess oil but are being fried alright.
2 puris and the truth about them
why the oil does not feel hot
to both of their fingers, we will find out.
THE GAME OF BOILING HOT OIL
The puris were being fried
in a wok beneath which was heat.
Believe me, this oil was visibly boiling hot.
And we fried puris in that oil
There is no trick in this.
But we still put our hands in this oil.
We put our hands in hot oil
nothing happened
This looks like a true miracle.
How did this happen?
We have to understand science.
What is oil?
Oil is triglycerides
and a lipid.
There is lipid in our skin membranes
There is affinity between lipids.
If you put your hands in oil
the oil will stick to your hands.
If we touch the hot wok
inadvertently or from the side
it will not be that injurious
but if we touch a little of oil by mistake
we will get burn sores on our hands.
Why?
That's because the wok doesn't stick to our hands
but oil sticks to our hands.
Oil is more injurious because
it sticks to our hands.
Why didn't the oil stick to my hands?
Is it a miracle?
There is no miracle.
Look, what we have kept behind this wok.
The same oil
which we are using for frying, mustard oil.
So, when cold oil is already sticking to our hands
then hot oil will not stick.
This is science.
What were we doing?
We were quickly pulling out a puri 
then we put our hands under the lid 
of the pan with cold oil
coated our hands with it
We kept doing that repeatedly.
It appeared to be a miracle.
Don't try this at home
as performing this trick requires practice.
Humbug and the various types of farcical spectacles that surround it,
the stories that are sold to you,
and the big miracles that are sold to you
will be exposed now by News 24
after a short break. Prof. Nayak is with us.
MIRACLES EXPOSED!
CHARLATAN GODMEN'S SECRETS REVEALED!
This is faith! This is belief!
This is religion!
Big words are used to explain miracles
but often beneath lies a dark world where blind belief thrives
through which many people are fooled
for gains by those with vested interests. (Name of reporter: Anjana Om Kashyap)
In the name of vows to deities, children are thrown from roofs of temples.
Lots of things are done in the name of vows to gods.
The gods of Kaliyug (modern era) will be exposed on News 24. 
Today, the secrets behind miracles will be revealed.
Miracle no. 3
Hath yogi - it is an ancient concept in India.
It is said that such yogis can withstand pain.
But there is no pain, just a trick,
some sleight of hand and all this
will be explained to us by Prof. Nayak
so you will understand the truth about Hath yogis.
Stunts like piercing the mouth with a metal skewer,
will be demonstrated for us by Prof. Nayak.
Here is a trident.
Sometimes we see 
in temple processions
lemon is stitched.
During Moharram, a sharp instrument is put (points towards his mouth)
Now we will show you
how a lemon is stitched to the hand. 
NEEDLE PIERCES AND COMES OUT THROUGH THE SKIN 
TONGUE PIERCED BY TRIDENT
Reporter: Is anything happening to you?
Volunteer: Nothing. Rep: No pain at all? Vol: No. 
We can clearly see  (TRIDENT'S MAGIC)
that a needle is being pierced in and out his skin.
The needle has a thread on which is strung a lemon.
A thread is being stitched on to his skin with a needle by Prof. Nayak.
Rep: What is your name? Vol: Jameer Hassan.
Mr. Jameer Hassan is not feeling any pain at all.
What is this! We can see that the needle has gone through
If you see such a thing anywhere
done by an ascetic you will think
that he is a great hath yogi.
But you did not even practice? Vol: No.
It is nothing. It is just science.
Perhaps, Prof. Nayak will explain that it is that part of the skin
where there is no sensation of pain.
The uses of such spots will be told.
Prof. Nayak has pierced the needle and thread through.
It does look odd.
TRIDENT'S MAGIC
If someone calls this a miracle
and runs a business selling it in the name of religion 
in your neighborhood,
here is the truth in front of you.
There is no pain felt.
You tell.
Volunteer : there is no pain
Rep: You don't feel anything at all?
Vol: No, nothing at all.
What do you say, Prof. Nayak.
Prof. Nayak : It's a miracle!
Vol: Prof. Nayak has performed a big miracle.
Prof. Nayak: You will be surprised to know
how and why there was no pain.
Why was there no pain?
You may not have seen 
how the needle was put in.
I had held your hand in a tight grip
with a pinch.
The pain of the pinch was greater
than the piercing pain of the needle.
That is why you did not feel 
it when a needle was being pierced.
Secondly, when a needle is being pierced,
the receptors at the spot 
send a signal to your brain
that there is pain.
They signal once, twice, thrice, 
but when they signal for the tenth time,
your brain tells the receptor
to keep quiet.
