well, the last post in that thread was someone saying they couldn't find the video. i was just trying to help - SORRY.

awww i wish i didn't see that. it ruined the trick for me!! but what to you do about the people standing around on the sides? i guess he has to make sure he keeps them all right behind him.

My 13 year old figured out how to do that, and you have to sort of look at him from the side to do it (I'm talking about the one where he levitates like 3 inches off the ground). The first time he showed me, I was like "DUDE! WTF!" It really is an awesome easy illusion. He did it to a few of his older brothers friends (15-16 year olds) and they were stunned! It was awesome to watch. Then he showed them how, and now he has all these high-school buddies that think he's the "bomb". This was right after the episode first aired, and eh had it figured out by the next day, so it caught a few kids totally by surprise! Too cool!

Along with Penn and Teller, Chriss Angel is one of my favorite illusionists out there. The stuff he does is fun, and it leaves you scratching your head wondering how the heck they did it.

Video kind of ruined the trick, but nevertheless, it's a good reminder that it's not real.
