    Basically you stand at an angle so they can only see one foot. Then you use your other foot to give the impression of levitation

          He doesn't do the foot-high levitation in front of an audience. Did you even pay attention to the video?

          He uses the cable when no one is looking so that he can replace the original clip when featured on TV.

          And, no matter where you are, cables can always be removed from the video. Have you ever watched movies?

          He truly has magical powers... that's why he's not in a bunker in area 51 having tests ran on him.

          Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

          I'm just wondering how you could mis-spell it in the Topic but get it right in your 1st Post...

            Look, please don't be offended - this is not in ANY WAY meant as an attack on you. Your posts are very difficult to read. You refuse to use punctuation - everything is one long run-on sentence. I recognize that many young people today get used to this because of SMS - but those of us beyond a certain age (and for the most part that describes a lot of us trying to help you here) find that type of writing VERY difficult to follow. I'm not talking about a spelling mistake - that can happen to anyone. But please,..... PLEASE.... (I'm asking nicely ;) ) - when you create a post asking for help - or even trying to help someone else - can you try to write using somewhat standard grammar & punctuation? Thank you in advance.

            It was a typing error that's about the 4th time you posted to say something about my post you knew what i ment to say and most of the post i see of yours are like this if you can't help  don't post

            If i offended you and got your attention then it was purely intentional.

            BTW it's meant.
