missionary style? on top? j/k

but seriously, he does some crazy shiat! I'm watching him on TLC, 2 specials are on:

Magic Street Tricks and Frozen in Time.

The levitation trick that he pulls off anywhere he goes on the streets is pretty cool. I liked some of his card tricks too. But i seriously can't understand how the hell he pulls off some of the shiat he does.

Someone said his levitation is done with a crane, but on the show there are no cranes around. Hell, he even pulls off some shiat in COMPTON! C'mon now, COMPTON!!!! The best magic trick he did was making it the hell out of compton without getting killed. :p

Cool stuff.....

Yes, which is exactly the point.

there are shots from the tv special where a crane is used but the trick is a simple illusion by standing up on a big toe at the proper angle from the viewer.
