David Blaine Levitation - WATCH

[Fantezism]

Blaine is an excellent magician and entertainer. I appreciate Chris Angel too, but I don't like the fact that he's so bent on exposing every trick magicians do these days. Yes, magicians manipulate their audience but you don't have to expose every trick they do and show us how they do it, we don't care because we enjoy not knowing how they pull them off. Chris has the skills but lacks Blaine's open-mindedness. I think magicians who reveal tricks should have their tongues cut out.

[Joseph102986312]

Chris angle sux he just pays ppl and actors to be exited David is the best

[SuicidalStickmen]

Also notice how you can't see the camera thats filming the behind of them.

[justkilledit21]

@SuicidalStickmen because the camera men have these things called LEGS LOL

[louisgworld]

0:15 did you hear that woman? 'i dont know, i didnt see anything'

[Obavijestajac]

David did the ''levitation'' once for the 3 women, but did not lift all the way up, he barely "levitated", you know the "levitation illusion". Later he recorded the levitation again, but this time was suspended with cables and in post production they erased the cables.

The woman in the shot while David is levitating is an extra, actress, whatever you call them who just wore the same shirt and shorts as the lady in the original shot.

[ftwdudewtf]

fake

[ulverup]

@ftwdudewtf of course it's fake , it's magic, are you retarted or something ?

[supremesadat]

and thats how you get the girls.

[rareBsides]

...WAtch...

[MullenMagician]

People know it's fake it's still a good trick but basically there's a street magician who aired on fox explaining how it's done the reactions are real but what we say wasn't what they saw the bit were your viewing the

back of the girls white shirt and jeans isn't her it's a actor or crew member wearing duplicate. Clothing so it appears as though the trick was took in one shot, also once I knew what to look for it was easy to identify how the trick was performed still very deceiving editing and

[Bordicci]

on tutorials it says you just tip-toe with one foot but in that video he's like 5 inches off the ground!

[TheMikeyReilly]

I love how we're getting so much discussion over an extremely simple magic trick.

[PkAlex08]

its a trick for entertainment purpose.. dont see why so many people comment saying fake and people are stupid acting big? of course its fake, its a TRICK.

[zuchary]

Why do ppl comment fake. Oviosly its fake what do you think illusions are?

[criss9047]

fake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[SpriteOfRS]

@criss9047 No fucking shit, it's a magic trick.

[capo5237]

fake he's next to a building where a string pulls him up...duh!!!

[tukutukun]

all the explanation on the you tube is bullshit.all of them are not same like david blaine levitation because they are too stupid.both of david blaine foo tare not touching ground you dumb ass motherfucker

[TheOmniscientAtheist]

@tukutukun both feet were off the ground because they just cut straight to the bit with the actor (and wires), you retard

[KAL10100]

South Park !

[aplayaz2000]

this guy is a freak

[TheTruthoftheword]

David Blaine is a dickhead, gimme copperfield anyday

[FimaWWW]

@DGTinderbox4lif3

I pressed alt and thumbed you down, man, its even better

[GoldPavedRoad]

@DGTinderbox4lif3 your trick is better than David Blaine's

[gabrielirlanda]

0:10 parakeets

[KnuckleThruster]

Okay, I didn't search for David Blaine, it was a related video... Anyway. He should be embarrassed for even doing this trick. It's so lame and cheesy! If you believe he can levitate or if you were impressed by this video, you need to be in special education.

[nabiboii]

wat the

[dimples29ify]

omg. its fake and its hard to belive.

[DrFridgeFondler]

Oh my god, this is fake? You mean magic isn't actually real?!

He calls himself an illusionist for a reason, dumbfucks.

[JMcH]

@DrFridgeFondler - There's being an illusionist and then there's relying on camera tricks. The former takes talent. The latter does not (at least, not by the performer).

[Ag8MrE]

@JMcH Exactly

[sackajules]

Yall are stupid if you search for david blaine and them hate on him. Next time don't bother searching dumbass

[mackpker100]

fake and gay

[TweekDash]

Isn't it a bit stupid of them to have an angle from behind the women yet you can't see that camera on the reaction shot?

[JMcH]

@TweekDash - Yep, and it's even stupider when people watching it don't catch on.

[TweekDash]

@JMcH What?

[JMcH]

@TweekDash - A lot of people watching this will never catch what you caught (the missing camera -- maybe Blaine made it invisible) and that's really sad. They will continue to believe that the shot from behind the women was filmed at the same time as the shot of the women from Blaine's position.

[gecko77z]

As fake as chriss angel

[proximaism]

that is simply a harness lifting him with good actresses.

[xxnicki1]

criss angel does it better

[Drixl]

who fucking gives a shit just watch the magic trick, fucking christ

[bathtownship]

This man is a genius.

[JeffersonDinedAlone]

@bathtownship This man is a trickster. Nothing more. It is his job.

[GaryL7623]

fake

[SuicidalStickmen]

The lady with the white T-Shirt has loose arm things, and when it cuts to behind her, the woman is suddenly wearing a tight fit T-Shirt,...:P Observation :P

[Trashcanman333]

@SuicidalStickmen You're insane

[JMcH]

@SuicidalStickmen - "Loose arm things." Sleeves, perhaps? :)

[1cheese1]

@SuicidalStickmen nope

[00Mj000]

@SuicidalStickmen yes exactly

[MrEmeraldfusion]

@SuicidalStickmen -What are you talking about she looks like she's wearing the same shirt it only shot from the back

[ExoVampire]

@MrEmeraldfusion The arm. It's loose, and when the shot is from the back it is pulled down and tight.

[MrEmeraldfusion]

@ExoVampire -I replayed it over and over I still don't see what you're talking about.

[ExoVampire]

@MrEmeraldfusion Alright. Look at the lady in the first shot to the far right. Look at her left arm. The length of the t-shirt is short when it comes to the arm. In the next shot, it is behind her but you can see her arm, and the t-shirt that she has on now is longer and tight on the arm.

[MrEmeraldfusion]

@ExoVampire -I see what you're saying but I think it can be seen to due to perspective. If you freeze it at @14 skip to 0:17 looks like the same short. It maybe appear to be tighter because its shot from behind at a lower angle. If you look at the shirt they look very similar at the bottom.

[thatguyCrow]

@SuicidalStickmen it actually an easy trick. He just goes on tip-toes on one foot, and hides it with the other. he does it brilliantly. it's called balducci levitation

[zooyork384]

@SuicidalStickmen grasping at straws

[hillerm]

This particular trick relies on the magic of television.

[JMcH]

@hillerm - And little talent on Blaine's part.

[SeenItAll94]

if you watch that related video with 1.5 mil views, you see that this video perfectly fits the criteria

[toshibacoast]

FAKE!!!!!!!!

[toshibacoast]

@BarryDong I read your comment before you removed it, I believe that it could be the Jinn.

[toshibacoast]

@Rakib349 Freemasons....THey practise black magic. Be careful.

[CrazyGurls1o]

THIS GUY IS STUPID CRISS ANGEL IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER WAYYYYYYYYYYY BETTTER!

[TheAC29]

@CrazyGurls1o Criss Angel is the same as David Blaine, I saw the secrets of Criss Angel's levitation and the walking on water. DAVID COPPERFIELD, IS THE REAL ILLUSIONIST AND MAGICIAN. He can teleport from the stage on top of spectators to Hawaii (There is rain) and teleport back with a little rain with him, he can fly with no harness and no lines carrying him and he can make a moon rise with his drawing on a cartiograph.

[dhantomA]

@TheAC29 dumbass copperfield is fake too...

[MonsterNuke]

@CrazyGurls1o criss angels is a drug addict lol

[uy97]

this man might be envolved in eastern mysticsm

[MrLeonadeyemi]

we are here to see a trick so we do and then we get them sort of people who think they no it all rite how its done we don't care how its done just want to see the vid

[SuperZarah1992]

I wouldn't burst out laughing if i saw that, I'd be like motherf'ucking, what the the the... arghhhhhhhhhhhh

[maketower]

so ... put it on the the top of maketower . com

[Bxnene1]

hey whats up youtube can you check out my channel it would help alot.

[100xExtra]

eh criss angel will always be better plus criss angel is hotter. 

[faurkbeans]

OMG, this video is edited and fake. He just found some girl to dress like the others in the video and he was lifted up by wires before or after the original audience left. Not a big mystery or magic.

[new24world]

watch the breaking the magicians code to know the trick dumbass

[bentricky]

I love how the reverse angle cameraman ISN'T there when the original one pans around at the end. LOL

[deefirst]

his feet wasn't touch the ground at all and that's what makes him a great illusionist or magician!

[shameelsaid]

watch?v=IROur6dahU8&feature=re­lated  watch this

[isaacgourrier]

@shameelsaid Inbox me the link

[Chrispoirier]

wat...cccccccccccccccch

[neil1758]

is this camera trickery?

[john23baller]

u wanna how this video is fake: at 0:02 the woman in the left has her left elbow pointed towards her back. den when blaine says watch at 0:03, the woman doesnt have her elbow pointed anymore, its all straighten up. this video is edited.(period)

[GuardianDemonX]

they video tape the reaction on the street first then edited with they own actor, that is why at 0:05 u only see the woman back

[cageybee777]

fake and gay :)

[HaloFireReach]

HAX!!

[ShinTec9]

IT JUST CLEVER4 TV EDITING!

[Claverleykid1]

Ok, so basically there is 2 ways of this trick. The first one, u all know. He positioned himself at the right angle. he raises the right foot while tip toeing on the left and from the angle looks like he is slightly floating above the ground. Then when the audience leaves. They get one person from the crew with similiar clothes the audience before. David is hooked on a wire, he is raised by it. so editing the audience reaction of the slight levitaion with the fake makes it look real for TV.

[riddley39]

@Claverleykid1 Not tryna be rude but i dnt understand what your saying, if he tip toed i would of seen his foot touching the floor?? And the wire...boi i dnt see no wire but ofcourse bottom line there is no such thing as magic.

[Thecor13]

@riddley39 if it wasnt we wouldnt have documents of it since sumerian times think about that

[riddley39]

@Thecor13 Im not smart enuff to even know what sumerian means bruv?lol

[isaacgourrier]

@Claverleykid1 Stfu!

[isaacgourrier]

My favorite magician since the 6th Grade

[DjMaNNyG2012]

@Claverleykid1 bullshit

[AlwayzAround]

@DjMaNNyG2012 what do you mean bullshit? It's true that's how they do it.. it's been revealed. Or do you prefer to live in your fantasy world where he really is magical? lmao

[DjMaNNyG2012]

@AlwayzAround no thats the thing ur a very cranky old guy with saggy balls i can see where u came up with such shit

[AlwayzAround]

@DjMaNNyG2012 Cranky old guy with saggy balls? Hey buddy don't bring up your sexual fantasies here okay, just because you believe david blaine can actually hover on thin air without without the use of equipment.

[DjMaNNyG2012]

@AlwayzAround i aint ur buddy. and just keep hating cuz youll never EVER do something as awesome as this old man. and keep replying you ARE always around cuz you have no life hating on the magic man

[AlwayzAround]

@DjMaNNyG2012 I never in a million years thought of you as my buddy, I'd be ashamed of myself if I was friends with a deluded little kid like you who denies reality, but it's an expression, it's a shame you're too stupid to know what an expression is. How is it hating? You commented denying the truth, it's a trick. He's not really floating on thin air, or did you think he was? Well that sums you up, I have a life, in the real world unlike you.

[hellven89]

@Claverleykid1 this answer is completely right, because doing the real trick is less impressive, they editted it so that he looks really flying with a real reaction from the audience

[carlstss]

@Claverleykid1 Go do it then and become a millionare like david.

[Jammo91]

@Claverleykid1 shut the fuck up

[FuJi1616]

@Claverleykid1 you knew that because you watched the video titled..:Levitation-Blaine exposed *spoiler warning*

[hathor261]

@Claverleykid1 you know there's more than this video about him levitating. this isnt his only 1. what else looks off in his other ones?

[TrentSzopinski]

that is not how to get a girl xD

[heroiden]

magic shoes?



[blacklotus808]

" You'll believe a man can fly "

[spazrulzworld]

how he pulled it off was amazing

[MrSureshot87]

Looks like hes stood behind a mirrored box to me.

[jmadude]

Chris Angel does it better you bitch!

[Bellagirl06]

@jmadude

What you said !!!! Criss is one thousand times better

[thepinheadjr]

Wow im think there are really peoples with magic or it is worlds best trick ever!!!!#!!@

[RandomHero565]

Its not wires. His trousers are specially designed so he can take one leg out of the trouser leg and use it to lift himself. However from the video, we still see the 2 tourser legs as normal, however one is 'empty' or 'fake'

[bucko06]

@RandomHero565 But where is the leg he uses to lift himself, I mean what position relative to his body? You can't see any contact with the ground and it isn't Balducci levitation because there is clearly a huge gap.

[RandomHero565]

@bucko06 Thats why Blaine is so good, cos he hides it so well. Se when he turned around and said 'watch', that was probably a distraction to the people watching so he could get his 'real' leg out without then seeing. The camera doesnt show he leg at this point so we cant watch it again to watch his legs instead. (if that makes any sense haha). The positioning of his leg is just straight out infront of him, they cant see that because he keeps his legs together.

[AndreSpike2]

first shot = real trick minimal "float" and real audience

second = camera and wire tricks tv made and fake audiencia

mix them and profit

[ryanthepunk2002]

Type this in the search box and you will see exactly how he did it, watch the whole thing! "Levitation - Blaine exposed *spoiler warning*"

[1983mjr]

It's a witch! Burn him!! BURN HIM!!

[awesomejunk7]

@1983mjr well can he float?

[1983mjr]

@awesomejunk7

Haha.

[marekiller8]

Don't click the fucking link. Its just some book about magic for you to buy. If you wanna check it out, that's cool, but you won't learn anything about the levitation. If you really wanna know his trick, click the video in related that's titled "Levitation - Blaine exposed *spoiler warning*". Just thumbs up so people will know.

[DJPenetray]

@sporksrule120 but in this case hea mot because he goes high enough that u can see under

[MissBiguk]

he's a Witch!!!!!!!! Burn him!!! lol

[xzaxx]

[thematthew123]

/watch?v=IROur6dahU8 <---- Explains exactly how this is done. Don't be fooled by this guys.

[Sporksrule120]

It's an easy trick, you just stand at an angle where the spectators can't see. What you do is just stand on the tips of your toes on one foot, I've done it before stop hatin on how its fake haters

[eenayeah]

@Sporksrule120

Why can you clearly see his feet are off the ground?

[lasposacadaver]

camera trick. he did the levitation in front of them where he raises himself on one foot, so he could film their reaction. then he later had someone stand in front of a camera with a white tshirt and blue whatever, and filmed himself being lifted by a wire or whatever. notice when they show the front shot of the girls, there is no camera behind the girl on the right... that tells u everything

[pkuroda]

:15 string on his back.

[mchugho]

Its a camera trick, notice how you don't see him and the audience at the same time you just see the jacket.

[djskooI]

@mchugho its no camera trick. ill give you a clue; he has to face his back towards his audience

[RossSedlacek]

I like Magic The Gathering better

[maoleifranz]

your ugly criss angel is better than you bitch

[gmaweill]

[jokadiablo]

[Gurufail]

[fuckmania07]

[saroh25]

Yall motha fuckas want to know how to do that?

The trick is you have to fart really hard without it makin a sound. David was fat as fuck b4 and lost w8 so he know the ass muscles and how to use em.

[jackijack22]

Fake and gay!He just jumped!Im so smart

[treyaw98]

@jackijack22 that is not how he did it

[jackijack22]

@treyaw98 I was just joking

[ray18901]

nice trick;d

[MrLukecov]

I suspect when he sat in the box and apparently didn't eat he was actually taking supplements in pill form. The guy is an illusionist which means he's fooling people into believing that he's doing something that he's not actually doing. Too many people are easily fooled..makes you think.

[MrLukecov]

It's a wire obviously, he unhooks himself before turning around at the end of trick... no wait a minute my mistake he actually has super powers

[raydan18]

from the stand point of the philosophical argument magic or any phenomena demonstrated is always an illusion, so even if the performer did it with using what is commonly called the superhuman powers, it still will always be an illusion. It's fun to watch though, but, no it's not real ;)

[9Grigsby]

WOW
