Learning to Levitate

We were able to catch the last part of David Blaine's street magic where he performs the Balducci Levitation. All of us watching the show went agaga on how Blaine could have possibly pulled it off. Bob showed us a trick and all of us (Botch, Roy, and Matt) went practicing.

What stumped us however is the part where David Blaine's feet were shown to be "really" floating. Roy however quickly used Google to find out the details of the trick ( everything can be explained!) and found this site. It turned out that the producers of the show did post-editing (we should have figured that out earlier!). :)
