You don't have that much free time to deal with fake people.
Many years ago, there was a Chi Gong master from LA who came to Austin, Texas. He could make a full room of people to walk like zombies (I saw this with my own eyes. Too bad that I didn't record it). People only need to pay him $450. Before his next trip, I challenged him if he could make me to walk like a zombie, I would pay him $10,000. If he could not, he would only need to pay me $1,000. He canceled his next Austin trip and I have never seen him since then.
IMO, to have a life time experience like that for only $10,000 is worthwhile. I'll pay $10,000 to see a real ghost so I will have ghost story to tell for the rest of my life.
When my teacher was still alive, he challenged all Taiji guys in an annual Taiji meeting. He held a piece of newspaper in front of his chest. He asked any Taiji guy to apply empty force on him without touching that newspaper. If that Taiji guy could make my teacher's heart to beat a bit faster, my teacher would knee down in front of that Taiji guy. Not a single Taiji guy in that meeting took that challenge.
My teacher always said, "All my life, I have not be able to meet a true empty force master. What's the chance that you will be able to meet any empty force master in your life time? Those empty force masters just can't suddenly crawl out of a hole somewhere." His comment make good logic sense to me.
In 1980 during a San Francisco CMA demonstration event, a Chi Gong master Liu Mu-Sheng gave a Chi Gong demo and sent people to fly in all 6 different directions. I tried to step on the stage and challenged that Chi Gong master. I was stopped by the host preying mantis master Brendan Lai.
