Eventually I plan on editing the Chang video and cutting out all the unbelievable stuff. The newspaper bit is a tad too unbelievable for most people and they stop watching the video at that point. If you skip through to about 6 minutes in on the video they bring in a few professionals a physicist and a medical doctor, and an ambassador from the mind science foundation in Texas. Chang strips down to a shirt and is checked for metal with a metal detector and is still able to preform his "tricks" then he is taken to a hotel room of their choosing and he is able to light an LED light.
According to Kosta one of his students who was a mechanical engineer for general dynamics, he demonstrated things beyond comprehension while using only a very small percentage of his full power. Levitation and every psychic phenomenon there is a name for pretty much, all at under 10% of his full potential.
I agree it's a lot to swallow and that almost all masters in this area are fakes or lunatics but I really have to question chang's motivation if he is a fraud. He never once charged any students, or people who needed healing. From what I understand he made his home welcome to students, and freely gave healing to all who needed it without charge for many years.
Also from what I understand he is a very private person and doesn't want all the attention he is getting, he just wants to be left in peace to his practice. From what I can see he isn't pursing money or fame directly from his abilities or practice.
I believe we are capable of things we do not believe possible, and I myself have had many moments during deep meditation that have directly affected other people in a tangible way. We get lulled into this false paradigm, that our current world view represents a correct and absolute understanding of all of reality. Anything that goes against conventional thinking automatically is assumed to be a fraud or a hoax or impossible. What if it isn't? What if we don't understand reality to the degree we think we do?
