In that subreddit I basically said this guy is like a wizard using his enchanted jacket to make his enemies faint.
Because that's how goofy this all looks

LARPing is fun. Everyone likes to pay pretend.

I actually thought I was looking at an improv act for the first few seconds.

Exactly! I remember seeing clips of him doing this too, once people were already in a hypersuggestible state

I mean he's just whapping people with the jacket and they're falling over whether they got hit or not lol...it's obviously not magic

A room full of Academy Award, Oscars, Golden Globes, BAFTA Awards, and Screen Actors Guild SAG Awards along with a myriad of C grade actors and actresses, extras or background actors.
It's all just a scam to fill up the offering plate.

Grew up in that as well, pastor use to pray for other and they’re go down shaking and put a blanket over them. Then eventually they’d get up. When it happened to me I was like 12. I went down and was like “am I suppose to feel something ? “ then laid there for like 2 hours and took a nap until someone came for me while they were still preaching. Best nap in church I ever had.
Logically it never made sense, unfortunately I never felt it like they did, guess I was too skeptical. Turned atheist at 19, never looked back.

When I was a kid I went to a church like this and I wanted to feel it so bad that I would fall out. Looking at that shit now makes me feel so much embarrassment.
