| Magic Trick... Not sure how to describe it without giving a spoiler... http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...82436688674946 "(Gay marriage) is a debate about whether you think gay people are part of the human condition or just a random fetish." -- Jon Stewart "Please don't judge others by your own standards." -- Garysher | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Oh, I've seen that. That would be Mindfreak: a modern "street magician" that supposedly goes around and does crazy things. But he is a phoney and I personally can't believe he's even considered a magician. He does do some magic, but a lot of the stuff he does involves camera tricks. 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.
