Yep. I\'ve used the one foot levitation before. Very simple.

Notice how David Blane gets everyone to stand on one side and bunched together? Then he\'d stand at an angle so that they can\'t see the foot that\'s away from them. That\'s the foot he uses to tippy toe on. And - remember, he\'s usually in a shadow. That way they can\'t see the shadow of his foot holding him up. :D

Remember, there\'s only ONE camera man with him. The camera man is always facing the people to catch their reaction. Next, there\'s another footage from the PEOPLE\'S angle - where you see him levitate about 12 inches off the ground. Where\'d that camera man come from?

Simple.

The editing room! :D

Yes, boys and girls. He will use wires to levitate. Then splice in the footage with the rest of the taping.

TADAAAA!

He\'s a fake. A great conjurer of cheap tricks, yes.....but he\'s no Gandalf.

Oh...and he will use "spies" to slip cards into people\'s pockets and such.

Yeah, I saw that on one of those FOX "Magic: How it\'s done" specials.  I think magic is pretty lame now. :)

Yep, he\'s that idiot. :)  He just stood inside an ice block for a few days (obviously he wasn\'t touching the icy walls or he wouldn\'t have any limbs right now ;)).  When he got out he was either completely dazed and possibly going into shock (as well as extremely numb), or he was a very good actor and a great magician. :)

I like the trick when he tells a guy to pick a card.. Then he puts it in the deck and shuffles it and throws it at a window.. Then the card is on the other side of the window! :eek: That one freaked me out good.

Any websites on this guy? I\'m lazy to search. :)

He has "spies" to help him with some of his tricks. The "card through the widow" was helped by actors....acting as innocent patrons inside the restaurant. Sometimes a passerby will slip a card into someone\'s back pocket. After all, cards are thin and smooth. Perfect for setups.

Its all slight of hand and illusion.  If you know that going in and he does fool you its still a good show..

Knowing its not magic but excellent hand skills I think its awesome.  Becuause he is really good at what he does....

GmanJoe whats your problem?  Everyone who likes magic KNOWS its fake, they dont need to be reminded.  Every magacian IS a fake, the make their livings faking it.  Seems like you got something against the dark arts my friend.  Could it be your mad because David Copperfield hooked up with Claudia Schiffer?
