Did you notice the guy who was inside with him right after he pulls the paper away??? Guy slaps his head, looks like he's gonna shit bricks and sits down!!!
The guy can levitate almost 5 feet off the ground at will. Pretty impressive stuff you can do when you sell your soul.
I was watching a clip of his levitating a woman on a street corner. That struck me was her point of rotation was a fixed location on her body. A closer look showed that at that point of rotation, her shirt was pressed in and slightly pulled up where as the rest of her shirt hung down. Seemed obvious to me that she had a harness and was suspended by wires.
I saw a guy with a light saber cut a dudes arm off right in front of me on the screen too. Wow not possible anyone could be actors in that sketch. David Blaine ripoff.
I've seen this on a couple boards, and while there are always choads who roll out the obvious "here's a clue, he needed to hide what he was doing behind that paper", or some stupid crap explaining that it isn't really "magic" (no shit, thanks for the tip), nobody has actually explained how it works.
P.S. Tie, that is avatar is the gayest piece of shit I have ever seen.
Probably everyone is in on the act. The dude with the red hair and two holding the paper definitely are. In the beginning if you listen carefully you'll hear the glass is loose. At some point in time after the sheet of paper goes up the loose cover glass is slid out of the way, either up down or sideways. He is left with part of a sheet of glass and a piece of paper. This looks like it was done by the red haired guy. It may have been done when he took off his shoes (the moment of distraction). You can definitely tell there is no window by his voice when he calls the guy over to put his hand up to the paper. At this point he really only has that guy come over because he can't break the paper on his own. Once he comes through the paper and is standing on the far side you can see the red haired guy is walking back away from the glass. He has just pushed the full panel of glass back in place. When he sits down and is shaking his head it is not because he can't believe the guy just went through glass but because he can't believe the guy has pulled off this stunt and duped some of the people in the crowd.
Don't forget that they cut right after the paper went up to the glass. A lot can happen in that time the camera is off. The fact that none of the people who were there tried to look behind the paper or through the glass makes me think that they were all in on it, well that and their horrible overacting.
I guess I don't understand why people would even watch that shit if it was orchestrated to that degree. I thought the point was that he really did pull off this crap just wandering around more or less at random, without props etc.

I noticed that as well and if you look on the street in the background, no real crowds in Vegas at night?????? riggghhhttttt
My guess is they did this shot right before sun up and had the street roped off and then brought in the actors.
I was watching the stunt with the Hummer and the passenger wheel was still on the ramp and he acted like all the weight of the truck was on him???? Wouldn't he just be holding the weight of the wheel if that with the other three tires supporting the weight of the truck???
I will believe the long haired glam rock magician with a gay lisp when he floats up 5 feet in front of me. The real magicians are the camera guys and special effects. He is just the cover guy. Before this he was probably working at a music store selling guitars.
