  • There's a trap door behind the x on the floor, you see it when he's walking in. That might have something to do with it.

  • got a point there

  • all hospitals should have a doctor like him  =)

  • Awesome illusion! I believe the guy is doing a leg cross lift (Google: Yoga pose leg cross lift ID: 21568851). 0:36 the foot is raised by a wire - watch the lights in the background shimmer. The legs have some lightweight hollow structure to hold them up, but allow mobility later - perhaps just cardboard. His upper body has a similar shell to hide his knees (1:14+ his chest doesn't bounce). No little people are needed for this illusion, and the I think full-sized arms debunk that theory.

  • Regardless of all the theories, this was still a damn good trick.

  • @MrFartypants112 Innocence, my brother

  • how in gods fuk did he do this?

  • What is lifes greatest illusion... Silence, my brother

  • That is only a one man trick. The guy is possibly very flexible and has a space in the "torso" to fit legs in. At the beginning you can see when he shakes the chainsaw it sorta jiggles so you can immediately tell it is not a real chainsaw. When he lifts up the body he is grabbing a wire that is connected to a leg. He makes the leg "float" then he reaches to grab the body and the legs to "staple" them. When he starts stapling the man in the torso puts his legs from the torso back into the legs.

  • why doesnt it have at list a million views

  • The trick was done no where near the X....

  • @OCaboose not really, i think it is just a part of the show... just like Idol has a gigantic american idol sign on the floor

  • its 2 different people. jus a guy who jus has a torso and a guy who jus has legs on top of each other. duh
