No, they don't. Some of the common fakir tricks are listed below:
1: The fire-ball, in which they throw "dirt" through a torch to make a scene. They actually throw a special mix containing flammable powder.
2: The rope charming trick. This is actually done by hypnotism, and thus only works on the suggestible.
3: The bed of nails. You probably already know this is bunk.
4: Astrological cures. A skeptic debunked this one by sending an unmarried man into a fakir's hut. He was told that his wife was causing him trouble and was given an amulet. Oops!

Don't imply with your "some say yes" comment that anyone other than *you* says yes. Fakirs are fakers. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it. They are illusionists and nothing more.
