David Blaine's Levitation: How on earth?  

I think he is an artist
and more over they have shown how that trick is performed on TV

Sad to say it is not true..
I first watched David Blaine's street magic about 3 years ago and was AMAZED. I thought he was not of this world.
But then a year later, I saw a tv program called something like "EXPOSED" and was enlightened..
Those supposed to be magic are just tricks, including the levitation part..

In the one that they show under his legs, he uses strings.

This is a proper method of how its done:

Im not meant to expose this as magicians never expose tricks but oh well.

He does the balducci levitation <- This is an illusion of levitation but toes are on the ground.

They record the reactions.

Then they attach strings to his arms and pull him up.

This is what you see on TV, where there are no feet on the ground.

Video editors working for blaine merge the reactions and the so called 'levitation' with strings.

So on TV, it looks so real - it just fools people.

Real levitation i've heard is done through meditation.

i think not....... do u ?

Probably magicians are phoney. They just do tricks and illusions - what the eyes see, what the ears here, the mind believes (misdirection). But the only magician that really fascinates me is none other than Harry Houdini. I wonder what happened to him.

first he lifts one leg off the ground before the other and has a special shoe that uses air pressure to hold the othe one up, then the editors come in later to make it look like he went higher then he really did.

i was amazed when i saw his magic on tv..and i was really wondering how he do it so i research the net on some possible techniques he might be doing to do that kind of levitation and guess what i found out..that levitation was just really a trick..i mean i found out that he uses his other foot i mean his toes.. you caan find the details of what im saying on this site..
