what your doing is creating different pressure systems in the local area. Thats not your Chi, its you creating turbulance.
you can do the same effect using anything..hands, sticks, etc..
But I will star and flag the thread because I give props to anyone attempting to try and show evidence in claims. Understand the physics involved and when you have knowledge, redesign the test to eliminate the known.
here is another way to make you realize what is going on. Put the candle at the bottom of a very tall glass..now move your hands around it and watch how the candle flame doesn't move at all (due to it not being part of the turbulance). If it was magical energy from you, it should still move, but alas, it won't, because your just pushing the air around it.
Again, giving props for attempts, and glad you are not "above" trying to prove it. I look forward to more tests and developments. You may learn something, and who knows, may even show something impressive...but this particular video is quite simple.

Not static electricity, but changes in air pressure when you move your hands like that. (like Burnttoast and Saturn said)
Do this again with your hands perfectly still and bend the flame in predicable motions and I will say you have "some" proof.

My hands are not moving fast enough to create turbulence, sorry. And again, turbulence causes a candle to flicker, not bend.

Interesting - I was working in our garden - my friend picked a cucumber and sliced it with a knife and said - Watch closely and see the chi work as droplets of water were pumped to the surface - Then I got it - Chi - Life force - In all things - Now I understand when you eat somthing freshly cropped why it feels so much better and healthy.
