Simmilar to Still-Life Preformances by Johan Lorbeer, this Yogi guy manages to levitate infront of large audience. If you can’t figure out what’s the secret behind his levitation, read the comments in Johan Lorber post, and I believe you’ll come to solution.

i’m guessing it has something to do with the post on the yogi’s left. it may have a horizontal support, like a seat, sticking out and providing a surface for the guy to sit. his baggy pants are loose enough to cover this from view.
Yeah it’s definitely a horizontal support attached to the post, as you can see the bending moment applied to the bamboo.
The best part of this picture, however, is that dude’s face in the background. :)
Yes, support through the cane. With the body weight, you would think that the lower part of the support would have to be wide enough on the ground to counteract the upper (the seat). And, hey, what d’ya know — there is a carpet on the ground that is spreading far enough to do cover any construction of that size. Materials would still be a challenge…
I think I the bamboo pole has an iron/steel core: The last inch before it touches the carpet seems to be thinner and black. Still, it needs good welding to support a person’s weight.
the rug is the base is is steel and coverd by the rug with wieghts behind or under the flowers with a rod going though the bamboo pole connected to a fiberglass seat that he is on
I think he’s just using magic
Well.. I saw this same guy a couple of days ago in Amsterdam. After the act he rolled up the carpet. There wasn’t any metal construction in the carpet as far as I could see. The post on the left is about 15 meters away so no horizontal post connect to that.
it has to be thru the pole by the way he hovers by it, but its pretty cool
HOw is he flying?
its a high velocity picture
the man jumped and crossed his legs
i’ve done that and pictures are really good
wtf is yogi? i only know yoga
he was jus smokin some of the diggety dank…
It cant be a high velocity pic, because his necklace is still. Plus, it has got to be magic, notice the intense concentration and the weed on the ground…
Its the Bottem part of his body. The cain is attached and spreads out to a part that his lower body slips into without much recognition.
Where did his shadow go?

Online dictionaries were made for just this kind of situation.
Fakirs have done this trick for many generations in India–steel rod into ground concealed in bamboo, small seat and connection to steel rod hidden by garments. Can anyone do this? Why would they want to.
I bet he’s sitting on a camaflouged seat. Notice how the pole is leaning slightly to the left. If he was putting weight on it, it would lean.
POSER!
I think it was red bull! He drank red bull! Yeah!
I saw this on tv last night and they exposed the secret. Ok so the guy is sitting a a little plate, hidden underneath him, connected to the pole he is holding, and the attachment of the seat and pole is hidden inder his sleeve. The trick has been used for hundreds of years.
It looks like he was photoshoped in.
I dont believe in this junk.
i REALLY want one of those sticks. Yes, they do have a thing to sit on- i’ve seen them before.
I’d want that costume too. Especially the pants.
and fortunately, my hair already looks like that.
The beard… maybe not.
ok his “cane” on his side has a plate attached to it, hes sitting on it. They have done thins for soooo long. Plus you just gotta look and youll find a video online

if u look carefully, there seems to b a platform of some sort that is underneath him…although i dont really noe how the bamboo stick stays up on its own unless drilled into the ground (unlikely) and even with which it would have to be strong enough to support his weight…aside fromt that, i think there is a platform that sticks out from the bamboo stick
i think its some kind of light wweight doll attached a pole.either that or they cut and past a picture
he is probobly a poster being held by tiny strings.
Wasn’t he the winner of the Dutch television program ‘The New Uri Geller’?
What’s his name again? Ramana I think.
So we have to believe it isn’t magic or just a trick but that he is a mentalist.
But who believes that crap, except for all those stupid Dutchman who watch this show.
ow, I love your site by the way, have it as a widget on my IGoogle :)
he’s sitting on some sort of seat that is attached to the pole that leads to the ground. look closely. and no, i have not looked at any solution ye.
