There's that "if" again.
"If" a person could demonstrate this ability, all it would show is that they had the ability. The nature or otherwise of it would still be up for grabs, and you don't get to smuggle it in simply because the first part may be real.
I once saw David Blaine make the Statue of Liberty disappear. Would you not conclude that was in fact supernatural?
And if people aren't believing you, there's probably a reason. Try something more convincing, perhaps?
interesting, because I am totally not lying about my mother. I have seen this happen on multiple occasions and she always tells me it has a supernatural power. I remember once telling her that even though it has happened a lot, that it still doesn't demonstrate the supernatural because who is to say that it isn't something else? I mean, I am somewhat skeptical to say that it is only a coincidence. I have seen it a lot. But, the cause could be something that we are not aware of, but not supernatural.
