People are guessing the hand keeps him from leaning back to gain lifting leverage. That's good logic which makes sense . . . but watch again. First lift is smooth, barely any torso movement from guy. Almost purely arm strength. He actually leans back MORE when hand is on his shoulder. Watch 2:30 - 2:40.
Its really easy to do it...just copy him exactly. I tried it on people and it works a charm. You could even get the person to lift a kid aroung10-12 years old depending on the strength of the victim, they cant lift them.
Its a trick on the brain. Similar trick is to stand with 1 foot on a higher level and try to lift identical weights in each hand at the same time. The brain senses ur off balance and will shutdown the movement ur trying to do. Same trick done differently.

yeah the trick is when he puts the hand on them they cannot lean back so the second time they use only their arms muscles not arms+back muscles so it's harder to lift obvious..
remember people there are few using real magic.. and they are not using magic for entertainment that's for sure..
at 128 i wonder what the chick is looking at on the ground. In all the shots thats the one things that they all share...their feet are never exposed. Thats my theory. R they sliding something under the girls feet. Why else would he need to buy time?
Ha ha. Clever trick. I think has to do with balance. In order to lift an heavy object you'll have to lean slightly backwards. Otherwise you will topple forward. Right when the man starts to lift the girl the magician pushes him sligthly forward so he can't lean. The man must abort or he will loose his balance. The magician on the other hand needs very little force to prevent the man from leaning backwards.
i think that this trick works because the first time the guys use there back and when they try again they dont use there back also the girls place there hands under the guys elbows
The first time he lifts her, he's able to lean back slightly which REALLY helps witht he lift, however the second time the magician keeps his back straight, which eliminates his ability to use his back...therefore extremely difficult to lift the girl :P
You all make it sound too complicated, the second time round he tells them to lift again before he says wait; meaning the guys keep their arms lifted.
By time he tells them to lift the blood has gone from their arms and cannot lift, if they were allowed to drop their arms in between lifts it would be fine.
WHAAT??! do u know what u are talking about?? what has that blood thing to do ?? u dont loose the blood in your arms if u keep them for 20 seconds in mid-air.....
as you can see its setup the girl is letting them pick up you on first try and arms are under elbow but just on the bottom the last girl when he tries to pick her up her hand goes to the back of the elbow which dosent allow it to bend and then instead it will push back if u try to lift and that stops it
i think i have a hunch on what hes doing. as you can see the asian guy puts his weight on their right arm by pushing. Since hes pushing his chickenwing area, it causes the lifter to not be able to extend the right arm. thats what im digging at.
simple explanation it's almost like ju-jitsu. watch how the guy first picks up the lovely lady without her having her hands underneath his elbows. then when the big dopes try to pick her up for the second time around she traps his arm from being free to move up, which is the motion to pick something or someone up. just watch carefully for yourself
youknow, at the school, the guy in the black, wearing the ecko shirt is cute. mark should come to maui and demonstrate at baldwin. haha. forreals, buu.
the girls dont know taichi cmd 014.. theres a much more simpler explanation to it. haha i know how he does that and im not gonna spill it, like what blindside said. this can be done by anyone anywhere
