Or the part in the park where they do the same thing and the shot is from no more than 3-5 feet away.

And they use the same angle every time. Link me to a video of him levitating with the camera directly in front of him. How about one where he's not sitting behind a giant plant, or on the other side of a restaurant.

Maybe some laws are meant to be broken. So basically, until someone can prove that its NOT possible to do this...well, you know.

[/ QUOTE ]

They have. It's called the laws of gravity. Self levitation is an illusion, not real, fake, impossible, etc.


[ QUOTE ]
Before you get started calling me ignorant, whatever, yeah, I know all the Newton's laws and gravity, all that stuff. Maybe there's just some laws that aren't quite 100%?

[/ QUOTE ]

I honestly can't believe you're even pondering that he is actually levitating for real. I don't even think HE'S saying that. I understood magic to be like, "Hey, look, I'm doing the impossible. Obviously, the impossible is indeed impossible, so I'm replicating it the best I can to give off the ILLUSION that I can do the impossible."

It's an illusion man. The trick is to figure out HOW he's doing the illusion. I promise you he hasn't stumbled upon some Area 51 secret to defy gravity and float. There is something aiding him.

, but I can't come up with any way things like this are even close to possible, and its certainly not just camera angles and computer editing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Its not that hard, its called the "random people walking down the street" you see in the video are in on it to. OMG!!!

seriously, if he could actually levitate he'd be making WAAAAAAY more money doing other things than doing illusions on TV.

Do you really believe david copperfield made the statue of liberty disapear just cuz thats what you saw on TV? I havent seen anyone disprove that thats not possible either, so obviosuly he really did it then.

never seen anyone levitate standing up like that, they're usually laying down so i don't know...but levitation is definately possible

[/ QUOTE ]

levitation is not possible. Not w/o an outside force anyways. Next time you see someone "levitating" pay attention to their hair. If someone can make themselves levitate, why cant they make their hair levitate as well?

David Blaine used celebrities. I didn't see any celebrities in this video.
