Baba cheating with vibhuti (1.84 MB):
You can clearly see how Baba gets something from his left hand, in which he is holding the letters, and then a bit later is performing vibhuti with his right hand.
Baba cheating with lingam (1,91 MB, with sound):
This movie shows how Baba acts as if he is coughing and because of this he has to use a handkerchief, but in fact he has already got the lingam in his handkerchief and puts the lingam with his left hand into his mouth; immediately afterwards he vomits the lingam.
Baba cheating with vibhuti (1.90 MB):
Look, from the beginning, at Baba's right hand! You can see that he is grabbing something (probably vibhuti) from under the letters which he is holding in his left hand, after that he performs vibhuti and distributes it four times.
Baba cheating with necklace (1.8 MB, quality of movie not very ok)
Right from the beginning you must watch his hands in the purple circle, the left hand is taking over something from the right hand, in which he holds a letter too. Then he is going to walk, and at the end he stops, and the right hand performs the 'materialization' of a necklace.
Baba cheating with vibhuti (6.32MB)
Watch Sai Baba's right hand a moment after he takes a letter from the person he is talking to: just before the second person to the left raises his head. You can see Sai Baba deposit the letter he had taken on top of the pile in his left hand. Then you can clearly see him reach in under the letters in his left hand, which is a totally unnecessary move and pull out something. In fact you can see him make two distinct moves when his right hand is under the letter pile. First move seems to be pulling out something, and the second move is catching or collecting something. Then he pulls out his right hand and the thumb now is close to the inner palm, clearly holding something. Now he steps back, and waving his hand, "crushes" something, and passes around vibhuti.
Baba cheating with necklace (1.7 MB)
This is the footage shot by Indian TV in Hyderabad, in August 1992. This footage created a storm in the Indian press, and later was "withdrawn" by PM Narasimha Rao's influence. Sai Baba's assistant brings the memento to Sai Baba , which Sai Baba holds with both hands, the assistant is still holding the memento with both hands too. Now the devotee does namaskar to Sai Baba, and comes forward to receive the memento. From this point watch Sai Baba's right hand closely. After the devotee accepts the memento, as Sai Baba instead of releasing his right hand, moves it further towards the assistant's hand under the memento, we can clearly see Sai Baba's right hand and the right hand of Sai Baba's assistant making contact as if in a "handshake" at the moment the devotee has got the memento in both hands. Particularly note the way the assistant's right hand moves away after contacting Sai Baba's right hand... it is released in the typical manner after "putting something" with a cupped hand. This clip is actually better when seen in the normal speed.
Baba cheating with vibhuti (3.78 MB )
This is one of the best ever video clips I had seen, where you can physically see the vibuthi tablet transferred, and you can see it in Sai Baba's right hand between the fingers and also see it being crushed by the thumb. Note that in all vibuthi "materializations", the left hand and the right hand would have always come in contact with a cupping motion moments before the "miracle", and after this contact the right thumb will always be held close to or under the fingers. A professional conjurer, Nils Krøjgaard, explains how the trick is performed. The ash is tightly compressed in small tablets. Occasionally, when Sathya Sai Baba thinks no one is watching his hands, he transfers the tablets from one hand to another. In this clip, a close up shows the tablet very clearly. Note: Do not be distracted by the beautiful face of Goldie Hawn that is circled in this clip during this "miracle"… keep watching Sai Baba's right hand… We shouldn't let "maya" turn us away from Truth "Swami says"… so let us all follow this advice and see "Truth". :-) (We can always see Goldie anytime later, of course.)
Baba grabs something from behind his cushion (0.5 MB)
Yet another rare and excellent video clip shot during a group interview. Watch the cushion behind Sathya Sai Baba's back. It hides a number of items. In this clip, you can see him get up and reach for something behind the cushion with his right hand, to "produce" it and give to someone in the room. Watch the right hand as he is half standing, and in fact the movement of the right shoulder, clearly will indicate he is digging in and reaching for something.
Baba cheating with vibhuti (0.7 MB )
Yet another vibhuti trick. Need we say more? Have a look.
Baba cheating with lingam (4 MB)
See how Baba brings the lingam into his mouth at the first time he brings a white handkerchief to his mouth with his left hand. Notice the bent third, fourth and fifth fingers from his left hand in which he holds the lingam, and watch how these fingers stretch flat, just at the moment the lingam has arrived in his mouth.
Baba's technique is exactly the same as in the first lingam trick on this page, this movie shows how Baba acts as if he is coughing and because of this he has to use a handkerchief, but in fact he has already got the lingam in his handkerchief and puts the lingam with his left hand into his mouth; immediately afterwards he vomits the lingam.
Baba cheating with necklace (1 MB, with sound):
Baba cheating with lingam (2.65 MB, with sound):
This time, the lingam didn't come out of his mouth, but from his left hand. Please watch only the hands from the start of the movie, the left arm is left calm but the small lingam is doubtless already lying in it and the right hand is waving and still empty. After a few moments Baba passes the lingam to his right hand, which happens behind the microphone standard, but we can clearly see the masking of the trick with a white handkerchief. From that moment on, you can see that the 3rd, 4th and 5th fingers of the right hands are bent, the lingam is already in it, before he 'materialises' it a few seconds later.
Look at the face of the man behind him after reviewing it several times. He doesn't want to know what really is going on, because at the very moment Baba brings the golden object from his left to his right hand, the man looks away to the right, as if he doesn't want anything have to do with this cheat. And then, at the end of the fake materialisation, hear how Anil Kumar is raising his voice in fake awe. Hear how he receives the applause and see how proud he looks, after having fooled yet another vast crowd.
Baba cheating with lingam (4,69 MB, with sound):
Sai Baba allowed an unprecedented live broadcast in the Indian subcontinent of his so-called 'lingodbhava' (bringing the egg-like ellipsoidal object out of his mouth after what looks like a painful process of 'regurgitation'). However, one can most clearly see that NO lingam actually emerged at all, view the most important fragment of the clip in slow motion this year. Instead there was a small spurt of yellowish vomit, which was later claimed to be the lingam in liquid golden form!
A film clip of the 'actual emergence' has been posted on the internet by devotees. One can pause the video and examine each frame separately to analyse the movements. (View the film clip on kingdomofsai.org, Baba vomitted spurt two times, only the last time with the handkerchief was filmed (Link doesn't work anymore, Kingdom of Sai removed the video but we have it here on our own server.). From before the alleged 'emergence', SSB is clearly seen to be holding something just about the size of the lingam inside the towel between the thumb and forefinger of his right hand! Now what on earth could that be, one wonders? After the vomit, he lets go of what he was holding in secret and fumbles to extract it with his right hand, taking the lingam from under the towel just where it was being held earlier, and we see a rather confused look of resignation cross his features.

Baba's preparation for another trick
Watch how 'avatar' Sai Baba on Sundararupaya - Sathya Sai Baba during darshan - is preparating for another trick on the usual way, grabbing with his left hand in his chair, while he cleverly distracts the attention with a smile, watch how the hand remains bent while he walks away.
This is the famous "Amrit miracle" in the Sai Baba temple in Srirangapatnam, near Mysore. This is where Amrit (sweet syrup of the Gods) seems to be produced from Sai Baba's Amulets. The professional conjurer, Nils Krøjgaard, explains that syrup can stick on for quite some time, similar to the process when a pancake is made. Before the amulets are given to the people, it is first dipped in the syrup, which then sticks on behind the amulets. More so as the amulets are concave in shape. When the palm is straight, nothing happens. But when tilted, the Amrit flows out, and hence giving the appearance of being "produced".
An early example of lingam fraud
This is the first example how Baba's is using his white handkerchief to mask fraud, he easily takes his time to put the large golden lingam in his mouth before it comes out, the movie is made in the 1960s and 70s by Richard Bock.
Chandrasekharaya Namah Om in Puttaparthi, watch Baba's hands when he turns right pretending to look at something, you can see him grabbing something with his right hand from under the letters in his left hand. Then he turns to the men in uniform and after a few words, he performs the vibhuti trick.
Baba's preparation for a trick
Ganga Jathadhara Gauri Shankaraw in Puttaparthi, in this film we can cleary view the preparation of a trick, Baba acts as if he is in conversation with someone out of the audience, he even leans a bit forwards to show his concern with what he is doing, but again, this is only an attempt to hide what he is really doing, grabbing something from under the letters, with his right hand, a finger from his left hand even reaches out to make contact with the right hand, and all this has again mercilessly recorded on video.
Darshan Background Bhajan Shambo Shiva Shankara in Puttaparthi, in this occasion we see Baba right from the beginning getting something with his right hand from the left hand, at the end only two fingers finally fetch the small item, which is of course a vibhuti pellet that will be crushed but delivered as a miracle to a male student moments later.
Baba demonstrates Ring Fail Fraud
The preparation for this trick fails, Baba is trying to get the ring passing over from the left to the right hand, which is clearly to be seen when he grabs under the letters, but then he loses control and the letters fall, watch his confusion when he is trying to look for the ring of which he expects that it is lying under the letters, but apparently he realises that he failed and that the ring still remains in his left hand. Then there is some more bad luck for Baba; one of his helpers takes away the letters from Baba which he needs so badly to cover up the trick, so the wheelchaired god instantly demands for new letters and that is what happens at last, only with a few letters as cover up shield, he is able to bring the ring invisibly from the left to the right hand, and then moments later, he perfoms the trick.
It is a real cheat, you can see more when you notice, before he receives the last letter he waves with his hand that it is enough, and then he gestures (commands) his helper behind to stay away from him, (because he wants to take proper preparations for his trick), and after that he finally performs the trick by bringing the ring from his left hand to the thumb of the right hand, that is hidden behind these last letters, when he finally hands over the ring to the woman we can cleary see at Baba's right hand that the ring is being pushed from the thumb to the other fingers.Baba performs vibuthi-scam at Brindavan
In this clip one can see how the servitor stands carefully prepared to give Sai Baba a handkerchief. Sai Baba uses it apparently to wip his hand, but fiddles a bit (picks up a ball of vibuti?). Then one can see the ball, largish white pill between his first finger and thumb, before he crushes it and lets it fall into another hand.
The Micro Bible Materialized is a serious fraud !
(Not available ? Click here, whe have the file even in mov format.)
In the first part of the movie - taken from Christmas Discourse 1996 when Baba performs the 'sudden appearance' of a small bible - before Baba's uses his handkerchief, we can see him gesturing with his right hand all the time, it is wide open and he waves with it, expressing his words. The use of the white handkerchief is only done, to hide the fact that he picks the Micro Bible, and from that moment the left hand takes over gesturing. Now the right hand will only be used with bent fingers, except for one moment, when it is open, and right then, at the 28th second of the above small clip, we can clearly see a glimpse of the object, he will 'materialize' latet hand.
At the moment of 'materialization' when Baba's makes circles with his left arm, we see that the minibible is in Baba's hand all the time, there is no materialization at all ! Click here for the mov version of the short video.

Early materialization fraud in the sand
We ask ourselves how blind devotees must be, not to see this obvious proof of fraud from the early days. The trick begins right in the beginning from the 5th second, we can clearly see that the right hand pushes an object in the sand. With his right forefinger and thumb Baba pushes the object deeper in the sand, and seconds later it is 'materialized'. What a nonsense, you may expect this kind of 'magic' from a little child, but not from a grown up !
Fraud in materialising or transferring a ring into a different size
What is at stake here ? The size of the ring is apparently not ok for the boy, charlatan Sai Baba will do something about that, he will materialise or transfer a ring into different size, just by blowing on it, but we know better, right before Baba performs the hocus pocus blow performance, he lets drop the ring that didn't fit, in his armchair, which movement is hidden behind the white handkerchief, and keeps a second ring tight from behind the third, fourth and fight finger of his right hand, to let it fall into to the thumb and forefinger of the same hand, it is so simple...
Another instance of fraud, performed by Sai Baba, here we have for you:
2. The complete version including reurgitating lingam
The lingam is already in his left hand, under the handkerchief, then he brings it to his mouth, and now we can clearly watch him opening his mouth to swallow the lingam. He distracts this action by wiping his nose with the other part of the handkerchief, and by gesticulating to the audience, before and after the act.
This movie belongs to the movie right above, a couple minutes before the 'emanation' of the lingam happens, we can see the glistening of the golden egg between the last fingers of Baba's right hand !

The Secret Swami
We have a good quality for broadband users; and there is a transcript of this movie.This World – Secret Swami 9.00-10.00pm BBC TWO bbc.co.uk/thisworld The most popular of all Indian Godmen, Sai Baba has always been the Teflon God, the untouchable, charismatic man worshipped by Indian prime ministers, presidents and peasants. His power over both the influential and the downtrodden goes to the heart of Indian society and raises serious questions about the social health of the world’s fastest-emerging economy. Sai Baba claims to be a living God and, to millions, his word is truth; his ability to bring clean water and healthcare to thousands, proof of divinity. In a programme that explores the nature of belief, This World travels from India to California, where the generation whose devotion and donations helped Sai Baba to power is unravelling at the seams. Hard Rock Café owner Isaac Tigrett sent Sai Baba’s message around the world by making the Godman’s Love All Serve All mantra the corporate slogan of his multimillion-dollar empire. He now has to confront the fact that his God may have been a sexual abuser. This World features the story of a family who gave their entire lives to a man they believed was God, only to discover he was exacting a terrible price: the sexual innocence of their son. In an intimate and powerful portrait a family talk openly about their betrayal and the man who controlled their lives. “The being which I called Sai Baba, the living God that I had taken into my heart, had been truly abusing my son, for so long. I felt completely betrayed,” says Marissa, a former devotee.Another, Alaya, says: “I remember him saying, ‘If you don’t do what I say, your life will be filled with pain and suffering’.” This programme is the first to film inside Sai Baba’s Ashram for a number of years and aims to come closer to the true “face of God” than ever before.
