I was doing my best to ignore him. He was drunk and incoherent, but it was something along the lines of, "He's learned to use his whole brain! I don't know how he did it, and the crowd below was blown away!!1"
Earlier he had ranted on and on about 9/11 being an inside job, something about Bush and the Bin Ladens, and the 'fact' that George W's grand-father had single-handedly started World War II... for money!
He gets most of his world history from the television.

I would also like to know how he does it. One here says television, does that mean his studio audience is in on it too, because he has different people on many of the episodes, and that would insinuate that hundreds if not thousands of people are in on it.
Everyone thats not an idiot should know that it is not real, it is a trick, a good one at that. I would love to know exactly how he does it, if he tricks the people there that are live, or if they are in on it. If someone here knows for sure how he does it, spill it.
I enjoy 'magic' even though I know it is a trick, it is fun to watch and try and figure out how the trick is done.
peace

see thats a pretty good trick, not the video, but the floating itself. Where are the wires or whatever propping him up, seems like if you were there in person, you would be able to see them, and maybe you can, which agian, points to everyone there live being in on it...you can't trust one person much less 20...i still would love to know how he did ti, would be a fun trick at parties...lool

I've just always figured everyone in the audience is in on it.
If you consider that they are and that it's all done for television, then it's pretty easy to see how he does it.

and plexiglass would be a great explanation for that trick, even when he did it across the lake, but again, all people in teh pool would therefor be in on it. I know he is not doing this stuff for real, but i woudl love to have the power to either make people never spill the beans on how he does it, or how he tricks them right in front of their eyes.
The one with the shadows is a great explanation, I saw one with a car where you could see him climb up under it...so it was easily explainable

the 10's of thousands if not hundreds cant all be in on it, someone would talk.
seriously. whats a&e gonna do, hold their first born hostage and if they ever tell they off the kiddy?
its optical illusions, all hes fooling everyone there, and everyone watching it on TV.
some tricks are a bit more elaborate than others, but you can make ppl see what you want them to see, thats magic.
he doesnt have super powers, or is holy or satanic(although that walkin on water really pissed me off when i saw it )
hes just a good illusionist, back by a awesome team to help him perform all his stunts.

You can't convince me those people aren't in on the gag.
When I see a video where someone does I would I do and just walks up and pulls the mirror out from behind the table, then I'll believe he's performing these stunts in front of random crowds.

Ah, fake leggings. That's super-sly.
He's definitely a talented performer. I'm sure at least half of his audience members are honestly baffled.
