Yes "shotgunning" is an excellent cold reading ruse.
Electromagnetic waves exist. Human bodies leave residual heat. Transcranial EEGs can pick up brainwaves. If you shake the table, a suspended foil covered with glass will move.
How any of this is meant to help a viewer connect the dots about the true nature of their own consciousness is beyond me.
What I find appalling though is one of the "experts" idea of a control reading in an experiment regarding the pH of water. The host not knowing that the co2 from her breath will reduce the pH of the water, tries to mentally reduce the pH of water while sitting above and breathing on it.
The DNA conductivity test that follows is laughable, both in apparatus and observations. The control readings are taken off of the same sample used to experiment with. 3 reading are taken and averaged. Each 'control' reading is observed in quick succession, and appears to reduce with each reading. So the conductivity seems to be increasing with time. Then more time passes as the "intervention" happens. If there was a control, that "intervention" did not happen on, I have no doubt that it would also show a change.
As for the exploited children the film uses to bring home its point. Currently the mid-brain activation scam is a global pandemic. Exploiting both children and well meaning parents for financial gain. They condition children into performers, much like carnivals and circuses did to their boy wonders. Except there is a lot of money behind it, how much you ask? Enough so that you can buy a franchise to midbrain activation academy. Teaching children to lie has been a main stay of blindfold peeking, since illusionist realized they are too old to throw a tantrum or wriggle about like a toddler. if you don't believe me, google midbrain franchise. In this film the name may be different, the scam is the same. These people should be charged with child abuse and fraud.
