Woman manages to feel Magician tapping her shoulder when he was tapping her shadow on the wall.

Any ideas?

Well I assume some props were used and those 2 women were not shills doofus.

You can't be serious.

Can you say "setup"?

And also...why can his shadow "walk through" the other shadows without them feeling anything huh???

Magic..? Casting a spell in Magic: The Gathering is more of a magic act than that.

Levitation isn't that hard when everyone is in on it.

There is actually a very simple way to levitate yourself based on viewing angles....just a simple thing while you are standing, you can make it look like you are floating without actually being floating. Takes a lot of practice though.

She is four feet off the ground laying flat on her back. This is no tip-toe trick.

That trick is pretty simple, all those people are in on it and if you think about it its really not hard for 6 people to lift a ~100 pound lady with a finger or two each. Just takes a lot of practice to get her to lift even but if you look closely you can't really see all their hands.

Oh and 4 feet? gimme a break, that's 12" at best

Not only did you miss the part where she is 4 feet off the ground, you also missed the part where everyone let go of her and she was still suspended in the air.

Simple, it's fake.

Yeah, if you have to ask how that's done...it's called wires and camera tricks. Wonder why no one you know has ever seen these seemingly impossible tricks? Because they happen in a closed environment that's made to look impromptu with tons of camera edits

Sure, there is a chance that they all could be in on it however, it at least looks convincing.

Ever seen David Blaine Street Magic? He does some stuff that I can't even explain but it also looks convincing. Either the people are in on the tricks or there is really something magical about him.

Notice that I didn't say that it was.
