I’ll let Charlie Tyack explain this illusion by himself! This is what he wrote: “Hi there, I thought I might submit these photos in case you would like to stick them on your blog. It’s me and my pal Paul pretending to levitate whilst dressed as conspicuous spies at Duxford Air Museum in the UK. If you do put it on, please link to my website: www.charlietyack.com Thanks!”

Can you solve how this illusions were done? Second picture is inside this post, just click on the title to jump inside this article.

    THEY ARE NOT JUMPING!
    if you cover up everything exept for their feet you see they are clearly just standing.

    p.s.notice how they are both in the same place.

    This is what I think:
    Either they are jumping (Clothes suggest this), they are standing still (shadow suggests this), or they are suspended from that wooden post.

    oh my goodness its not that hard they are on a slope and the angle the camera is at it makes it look as if they are floating but really it is just a hill they are NOT JUMPING!

    “Aaron

    hes not flying its just that there is a hill and he went on his tippytoes so the illusion makes it look like there is no hill and then your mind balances it out to make it look like hes “flying” “

    BS !!!

    He is jumping. If they stand on a hill, there would be shadows on the ground ending on their feet.

    It looks like they are standing back or standing on their toes. The ground is shaped weird, but i can see their feet are on the ground. Only someone with terrible eyesight could think they were not touching the ground!

    I went to school with these two and was on that trip with them. Quite simple really, they just jumped and we took the shot at the right time. The one of Charlie is the better of the two, but when you look at Paul it’s obvious from his posture that he’s mid jump. We weren’t clever enough to do it any other way and others have suggested.

    LOOOL “Only someone with terrible eyesight could think they were not touching the ground!”

    only a no brainer could not realize that the shadows don’t match if they were STANDING. ridiculous idiot. brain usage beats eyesight by far lol

  13. ID says:

    They are look like photoshoped because there is no shadow on the ground.
