Wayne Hoffman's Levitation

28 comments

I have no idea how Wayne Hoffman (that's the name of the illusionist in the image below) manages to levitate, but what I can give you, is a tutorial where you can learn to levitate - just like David Blaine does! Unfortunatelly not as high, as Wayne Hoffman, but still entertaining! Please help me solve the trick in the picture! In the meantime read the tutorial on Mighty Magic Tricks, and look at the animation here. You probably guessed: Mighty Magic Tricks is our new project, and it will also be refreshed daily.

    i think it is computer animated coz look at the cars on the left you could clearly see their shadows but you can't see his shadoows.
    plus his feet are in a completly straight line which i think is coz he was atanding in front of those green screens and he was extracted from it inserted into this picture.

    plz teel me if i am wrong??????

    I agree with Pembo and mayank, it is definitely fake... and I would say CG'd, but not green screen, the flat line of the shoe is a definite give away, however if you closly inspect the bottom of his shoes, there is a feathering of pixles which contain the colour of the object he was standing on.

    Also if you look at his jacket sleeve closest to the building, it has been trimmed, when removing the original background image.

    looks like he is standing on one wire and he is putting his hands on on another b/c his shoulders are slightly back and you can so see his shadow

    this really doesn't look like he`s levitating ... but well, cool thing anyway

    yea, its a modified pictue, because in the space between his legs, at the bottom, you can see a bit of grey/white probably from the original background...

    He is probably standing in front of a green screen and on a green table. the image is projected on those things, and the pixels unser his feet are his shadow

    he's standing on a block that was badly painted to match the background, see how its blurrier under his feet?

    it's actual a stnd you see the dark spot in the right hand corner. Hmmmmm,i'm almost positive

    it's a stand he's standing on. see the dark spot on the bottom right han corner.

    Sigh... many of you are wrong... they made him stand on something movable, took a picture of him, removed him and the item, took the picture of the background, removed the item he was standing on and its shadow and placed the background that was behind the item. TADAA!!! that shows a levitating guy. and could u see the people looking at him and the cars? some of the cars are people watching them make this illusion. some of them are probably some helpers. hope you people understand me ^_^

    the dark spot on bottom right is hoff's shadow.

    sad to say man, but this is really badly done...

  27. Blogger Austin 

    If he were actually floating, his feet would probably be pointing downward and not in a perfect straight line, hes definatly standing on something

  28. Anonymous Anonymous 

    but if he's pasted on a another picture how come there's ppl at the back staring at him? and BTW mayank he does have a shadow.... on the other hand if u zoom in between his feet at the very bottom there's a shadow tht's not suppose to be there
