Luis de Matos doing the floating girl illusion on the beach.

[SuperMahebourg]

His right leg is hiding the gimmick. Based of gimmick buried under the sand. He cant walk away without revealing the support

[rajababu1982]

you didnt swing the ring from head to toe.. it went only for the side i can see .. not the side you were standing

[NackBboy]

Voy a demostraros que es falso :

El aro que hace que la niña parezca que levite nunca pasa por la cintura del ''mago'' porque ay una plataforma verde que no se ve.. clara mente como en los telediarios .. efectos de cámara y vídeo un truco de magia es el que se puede hacer en vivo... no atraves de programas etc..

[jbaldy61]

Watch his right leg. You'll figure it out. 

[bluthefox1]

@jbaldy61 please explan, whats happen, how he does the trick?

[manroopsinghbhullar]

look his right hand at 1:29, everything is clear, why not he move parallel with girl holding circle around it.. note one thing he is hiding that support with his right leg, he didnot move his right step throuhgt the whole show, i am sure that support is also black in color..

[xLozapopzx]

@manroopsinghbhullar hes on a hill of sum kind above the beach if u watch u see that the waves dont roll they crash against sumthing yeah the ring dont pass on his side he just makes it look lik hes put it all round an u can see the plate holding the girl just where her hair meets her neck wen the wind is blowing but he is a lot better now :) x

[manroopsinghbhullar]

look his right hand at 1:29, everything is clear,

[tapolna]

Outdoor levitations have done live, in front of audiences, as well. So, how is it done? 

[Danny94James]

@tapolna it's so easy and simple even you could do it! :)

[wantmot]

the ring never passes over her completely ! watch it carefully it never passes in front of his left leg this is of course were the steel frame is holding her and also hidden by sand ;-)

[katnook707]

[RobertWeekes]

[TasFudido]

[caldomagno]

[ZemProducer]

[kebproductions]

i agree

[liamblackere]

it does but the trick is the abbots super x levitation which can be performed enywher

[kanal4]

This is on a swedish channel! I'm from Sweden!

[keylea123]

what part

[kanal4]

Up in the corner there is a 4, that 4 is the icon of channel 4 in Sweden. And don't say it isn't, cause it is.

[henry0008]

Realy good perfomence. A great idea performing on a beach!!! I think about using this illusion too. Where did you buy it? And how much is it? I´m using a super x illusion, but it´s only flying, not a real levitation.

[LukeDuke54]

nice

[LukeDuke54]

This look s look video editing..a levitation somewhere else put into the beach scene..looks like superman flying in early hollywood days.

There was a beach levitation on "champions of magic in the 90's that was cool.Anyone can post footage of that would be nice

[nsvsodfhss]

No video editing or camera tricks here....I´m sure!

[xLozapopzx]

@nsvsodfhss check out the rolling waves hes standing on the edge of sum hill above the beach and if u watch he doesnt put the ring all the way round where he is standing he swivels the ring to make it look like hes went all the way and u can see the plate the girl is lying on just where the wind blows her hair near her neck hes alot better now tho :) x

[vanessaviana33]

The guy on this video is Luis de Matos from Portugal. The same guy you saw on "Champions of Magic". I read an interview of him where he mentioned the fact that this piece of video was the one that got him booked on that ABC show years later. Funny, hun?

[wizzard0168]

@LukeDuke54

Im magician myself and i know how this levitation works.

There are many ways to do levitations outdoor but in this way it's

just impossible. supposably done with the help of a bluescreen or something like that.

[justinlaw77]

@LukeDuke54 DUDE... this is the SAME levitation that was one Champions of Magic in the 90's. Not the exact same clip...but same performer .. Luis de Matos.  It is the same routine

[downhell666]

so fake

[Estudio33]

This segment was shot back in 1994, 14 years ago, 11 prior to YouTube...

[nsvsodfhss]

Yes, it´s from a tv-show, this segment is really a beautiful idea.

[Estudio33]

Thank you very much for thinking it is a good idea. I thought i would tell you the production date since i'm the one on the video... Greetings from Portugal!
