A video showing a boy with folded hands sitting in a pot of boiling water has gone viral over the social media. With crowd gathering near the boy some people can be seen filming it on their cellphones. Shared by Twitter user Sandeep Bisht, this 30-second video has attracted over a million views on Twitter.
A Twitter user quickly reacted to the video that it had been shared much earlier on YouTube, in 2019. The video was earlier shared by a channel called "TV One" on December 10, 2019, and the video got 8,000 views there. A twitter user wrote, "This is cheating of rhe [sic] highest order..no way that there is no steam being produced or the petals not being disturbed in the pot."
Another user, Meer Abid on Twitter commented, "When water boils it boils on every direction of the kadhai not just in front, flowers on back are not even moving. Base of the kadhai is made so thick that fire doesn’t boil water."
Another user, Shaik Suleman said, "Two shells with vaccum in between, no medium to transfer to heat to water, plus air pump at one place. All magic like this way cheating only, even maaya jaal." Quora user Michael Van In had attempted an explanation of the video back in 2019 said, "Hidden under the boy’s crotch is a small tank (gas cylinder) filled with CO2. It’s cooling capacity, as the gas exits through the slightly opened valve is appreciable. Those bubbles are cold, carbon-dioxide gas, not steam."
