Anybody Have Any Idea How This Was Accomplished?

Where's the levitation device?

Yeah I've seen that. It is a framework under the guys clothes that he's really sitting on. it folds and stuff and can be set up surreptitiously.There's videos about it on youtube.

Really? Thanks, because it sure was driving me crazy!

Edward is correct. Magicians call the framework a "suspension", and this kind requires some prep work, as the foundation he's locking into with his right foot is buried underground.

I remember Special Head. I was literally shocked when I saw that audition. Even with Edward's explanation it still looks like the guy is floating in midair!

Check this one out. It's called a Blaney Ladder Levitation and costs $6,000. This one drove me so insane that I actually paid for the explanation. It is a marvel of engineering.

It's still all Greek to me lol!

It's cleverly hidden.
But it's there.
