For most of the levitation stuff he does, he does the old Balducci levitation trick which can be preformed by anyone and anywhere and gives the illusion of levitating for at most about 4 inches or so. He then takes the footage of the reactions to the Balducci levitation and mixes them with staged footage of him "levitating" some 6 feet into the air using cables.

A lot of the other stuff he does is just illusion. And I wouldn't doubt that the girl being pulled apart has something to do with camera tricks, or video editing, or perhaps he knew the girl or something. You can tell she can run very well on her hands just as if she was a person who had no legs for many years. If you notice, at the begining of most magic shows, they give you the "disclaimer" that all tricks involve no camera tricks and are done by professional magicians. Mindfreak's show does not have this.

David Blaine uses the same tactic.

Yeah, I'm a critic, and yes I have to bring it into most things.
