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.

Criss Angel does the same sort of levitation. Invisible Stilts? hehe
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 think he’s balancing on a wire strung across the street…
*I* think he’s given you hallucinagens… He’s just standing on the ground :)
CG’ed
i think that he is obviously ether on stilts or is and a table( invisable)
THIS IS NO ILUTION IT IS THEM SHOESTHAT MAKE YOU FLOAT!
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.
You guys got it all wrong: he’s power-farting!
outline, hello?
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
if u guys just read the tutorial ull get on the road to figuring it out
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 photoshoped it… look at the arm in the tree… airbrush :)
he is not at all on stilts he has a gig fake shuolder plates and straped on arm plates look how flat his arms are. a wire is going thruogh the arm plates around his back and through the other arm plate. the camera dosn.t pick up the wire peolple in background know him there his brother and sis
okay he is extracted from one thing and put on this pic, and he is balancing on his left foot.
I mean right foot…
he’s standing on a block that was badly painted to match the background, see how its blurrier under his feet?
he is standing on a painted block, see how it gets 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…
If he were actually floating, his feet would probably be pointing downward and not in a perfect straight line, hes definatly standing on something
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
i think he jumped and the camera guy took it right as he jumped up…”]
if you sing the song “i believe i can fly” then YOU can levitate like he seems to be doing, too!!! jk…LOL ;)
The question was not whether or not this is real… the answer to that is obvious. The question is how.
to me it looks like someone took a pic of him then over lapped it on a different background cause his feet r perfectly together and u can c a white outline around his arm near the tree so u can tell it has been photo shopped and his shadow isn’t there either :)
but i dunno if that is true tis just a guess :(
lol if anyone finds out tell me please :)
this seems possibly photoshopped to me…
Because of the reason that the ppl getting out of their cars dont seem amased or even phased, even though he is a good two feet (at least) in the air. If he wer truely levitating i wud imagine more of a crowd of awed and amased people, instead of two ppl who dont even care that this guy is flying!!! Im pretty sure that this is a good ole photoshop
♥♥♥,Shy☺☺☻☻xoxox
Yes this fellow seems to be rather high.
jesus guys its obviously a photoshop, you can see its taken by 2 different cameras…look how he has a worse quality, and faded middle region, whereas the background is solid with no interference…
Wow guys it’s called photoshop LOL just kidding i dont know how he does it
I know what he is doing,He has stilts that disappear in the sunlight so its practically impossible to see.You can actually buy these stilts!He has magnets in his shoes (on the sides)thats how his feet are staying together!
cool! how does it work?
I thought it was cool and strange. (I am 7 :D)
I once did a shoot like this one…just ask a guy to jump and take the photo at 1/1000s…so easy.
It’s a trick done on the computer…his pictre is taken on the ground…and then he is put onto that background so it looks like he is levitating…
