1 / 2

damn he's really fuckin jumping though huh

Lol, he just turned the lights off. I thought that maybe he'd told the audience to close their eyes and just trusted them

Turned the lights off, and used a flash. Note in the Wikipedia picture the wire coming from his left hand—which is the remote shutter/flash trigger.

See also: Balducci levitation which is what David Blaine used to do on the street. It’s super easy and works really well.

I am reminded of the Invisible Boy from Mystery Men

It got him to wikipedia so it’s a win

I love the internet

I love your content so much. Thank you.

You say jumping, we say time limited levitation

I feel a connection to this man. I hope this was me in a past life.

Seems oddly appropriate today for some reason.
