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
mayank
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??????
Blerm
I think he's balancing on a wire strung across the street...
vribbidy
*I* think he's given you hallucinagens... He's just standing on the ground :)
Pembo
CG'ed
ghostie

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!
john
outline, hello?
jhg
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
Pandas
if u guys just read the tutorial ull get on the road to figuring it out
Lem
this really doesn't look like he`s levitating ... but well, cool thing anyway
Sonya
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

Mrs. Malakar
okay he is extracted from one thing and put on this pic, and he is balancing on his left foot.
Mrs. Malakar
I mean right foot...
dan
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
chase
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 ^_^
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
