I take back what I said before. I oficially have no idea how the fuck he did the levitation. Camera right below him, at all angels and indoors. So there was no crane, or wires being used. That was so messed up.

A good buddy of mine is an illusionist and he assures me it is all cables and wires. I have no idea how he does it, but apparently the technology is there to do this if you have the money. Its best not to know because that takes all the fun out of it. I learned some of my friends tricks and it was like seeing santa claus shot right in front of you when you are a little kid. I don't think he is a douche bag either.

No, but the fact that he makes it look so real without any good explanation is amazing.

HAHAHA funny guy.

but i do know that there are 'invisible strings' which are very strong, and practically invisible
--and there was an episode where he was hanging from a helicopter with hooks in his back
-- so i can put 2 and 2 together and say he does this all the time, but i dunno where they could have hid a pulley or something

but this guy will put in a TON of work to do even the smallest stunt so he gets my respek

No idea how he does it. However, I couldnt build a microwave even if I had all the parts in front of me. Its amazing because you dont know how it works, thats all there is to it. Its an illusion.

Walking on water? Yeah hes a douchebag. Fuck his show. Plus hes a big fag and he builds up all his shit with lame voodoo talk. David blane is more fun to watch because hes not gothic loser and his stuff is semi-realistic

just saying magnetism is good enough.
It's cool that he can do all that stuff and make it look believable.
Still, he shouldn't try to be jesus by walking on water, thats just fucking posing.

Ya, about 70& of his illusions can be figured out if you just take a second and analyze the thing. However, there are a couple that I still do not get. Mostly though, EVERYONE, or at least 90%, of the people who are just "watching" are in on it.

Very easy. I saw a thing about that. It is taken in different takes, not all at once and live. The ones from his point of view hiw he is suspended rom a rope, (you can see this because his feet go into hte water a little and look like they arent making contact with anything hard). For the other shots there are skinny poles in the water with platforms, (which you can see because his feet make hard landings and have solid stances). Why do you think he has "random" people in the water? They werent there to watch. They are a part of it to cover the other people from seeing the poles.

Also,
About the glass window one. That one is easily done with again, actors, and VERY clean glass. The window slides up, then back down. Simple. The key part to his stunts are the peole who pretend to be "random" spectators/helpers.

alright i still dont know how you can explain this

he had this guy take a polaroid picture of his wife holding a blank piece of paper, he had the guy give it to him, and then had a girl hold it face down for him.

he randomly has the guy call his wife, and tells her to draw something on the paper. after he does it, he asks her what she drew, and it was a sail boat, and he picks up the picture and there is suddenly a sailboat on the paper

you could try and say that it was set up but there was like 50 people there and it was one continuous shot with the same picture the whole time
