    Hello,

    Watched it last night.
    Seems like they determined you would need something like 180 miles per hour to get a needle through a pane of glass. Ended up doing it with a BB gun.
    They had a pro baseball pitcher try it and he hit 105 miles per hour at one point with only putting a divot in the glass.
    Seems like they came to the conclusion that this demonstration is not real.
    Peace,

    Dave

    I'm shocked. Did they quantify the chi that was used?
