Default Can someone explain...

...to me how that one illusionist (new white dude with long hair) levitates in the middle of a park, right in front of people when he asks them to lay him down over what appears to be nothing.

I know its a fucking trick, but I still cant explain to myself how its done. They even place things under him and over him while hes suspended. Thanks HAN.

I saw what you are talking about and I think it's fake....he is obviously not levitating so I'm guessing the people are in on it.

I was thinking the same thing but still, they put things under him and over him to show nothing is holding him. Plus, his clothing is dangling too which proves he not laying on anything. And suspension from wire is almost out of the question. Its a good one.

which angle camera angle is this shown? depending on the angle he could have lifted one of his feet off the ground while the other stayed on and it would have looked like he was floating h: but then again ive seen others do the same thing cept they took a 360 view of him and the guy was floating h: so i dunno

No. Im talking the one where he's standing and has two seperate people hold his hands while he slowly falls over backwards and then when he's parallel with the ground, they let go and the dude is laying down...on nothing...so it seems
