Good points, though the clammy skin, the sweat, and the dilated eyes are more difficult to explain. I am an odd skeptic. I believe that there is the possibility that stuff like this can be done, but I automatically doubt anyone who claims to be able to do it. What you've said, as well as disgruntled's points about his students being affected, makes me believe that this guy is a crock.

More likely, I would assume that either he is a charismatic person and has been able to spook his students into suffering from shock when he does this sort of thing, or has taught them to control their bodies, sending themselves into shock. The funny thing is, I would be highly impressed with the second scenario, but nobody will ever admit that kind of thing.
