hey Thomas,

Well, ..... I did a little digging and apparently you can learn how to do the basic 3-4" levitation, for around $20 as a download.

But, ....the higher 12-24" levitations remains shrouded in secrecy.

Maybe it's better as a secret .........

an suspect free version here: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/156939/ho ... id_blaine/

[Thomas An.]

Yeah I know about the cheap version (of standing on one foot from an angle)... but ... it is not what D.Blaine and the others are using. These guys are clearly OFF the ground from both feet.

(unless they use nanotube cables, invisible to the eye .... but I thought these were not coming out for a few years more)

nano tube cables rock .....

... I remain clueless.

[lebbeus]

well, maybe the impromptu scenes aren't as impromtu as they appear and D.Blaine is using some type of thin cable that's easy to remove in post(??) When he walks after touching ground he always walks forward. . .his legs are always together when floating, maybe there is something to that.

I don't know, it still looks cool

[ivox3]

I did read that for the higher levitations, .....that purchasing some very expensive rigging would be required.

Still, ....didn't DB do a pretty big one in the open ?

Aaaah, .....phooey! we know nothing.

nano cables with large cranes... all spectators are actors... he he...

Yeah, make a nice panorama swing all around and you get me interested
