Not is you knew how it was done. I have one word for you. Wires! Thats for the one where he gets well off the ground. The one where he gets just a little bit off the ground is a wonderful illusion and evokes great responses from the spectators. Its an effect I rarely perform as the situations and conditions I normally perform in do not allow for such an illusion to be done properly or effectively.

I, being a magician and member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians can not divulge how stuff is done, but I have no problem letting out a secret here or there when justified.

Ah, but there are plenty of websites that do tell how its done ;-)

I was fascinated by much of Blaine's tricks until I read how they were done. Although, there are many that haven't been revealed. Most come down to the participants being duped into not considering that he has accomplices(Im sure you know that). There are several that I am still curious about, like the one where he tells a guy to think of a loved one. then burns the guys shirt to reveal a drawing of the guys girlfriend or something.
