- The Robbins Institute, in San Diego, should be able to provide you
- with that information. They usually can point you to, or provide
- information on subjects that Tony is involved in.
-
- I did not personaly witness his walking across the metal plate. I don't
- even remember if Tony mentioned it in his seminar. The conversation
- I had was with one of his permanent staff members, who described the
- event to me.
-
- Apparently, at a regular firewalking seminar, a "scientist" with some
- helpers replaced the coals with a hot metal plate. (The fire/coals are
- left unattended at times.) When the group came out to walk on the
- coals, the scientist and his helpers dared Tony to walk on the hot metal
- plate. Which he did successfully.
-
- As I said this is all second hand. I suspect that the incident happened.
- I can't vouch for the accuracy of the experiment or the abilities of
- the scientist involved. (Certainly his ethics can be called in to
- question.)
