Boy, some husbands will do anything to get out of the house for a week.

I saw a picture of his hands, disgusting!

I'd like to see him make my truck get 50mpg, now that would be a cool trick!

As opposed to drowned dead? All sorts of strange visions are going thru my head as I think about this.
Exactly what I was thinking!!!

There's no smoke and mirrors about this guy, he levatated almost 5 inches or so up in the air in the middle of a field in front of the dallas cowboys players and dion sanders..he fell back as soon as it happened but it was real..no gimmicks..you all hate what you don't understand.

Uh, there is a gimmick, it's called he's still standing on the back foot the whole time. If you notice, there is like a 5 minute set up to that illusion. When I saw him do it on the street he made sure people were facing at just the right angle before he did it. His rear leg is bent just enough that it looks like he's rising up, the fall part at the end, that is part of the trick too.
I hate what I know is not possible due to the earth's gravitational pull, it's not jealously.

Listen to Penn Gillette, he's been in the business longer than Blaine has been alive. Magic is fake,.........it may be a talent to fool certain people into thinking they saw something they didn't, but.

There's a few websites out there that tell you exactly how he does this, and as said already.....he's still touching the ground. Ever wonder why he's not wearing shorts when he levitates???? you'd see the muscle in one of his calfs working to lift him up.
It's a cool trick, but it's just that, a trick.....I understand, and I don't hate

Maybe I have just been in the hills too long, but I have to admit that I never even heard of this guy. I am fascinated by some of these guys. All I heard when I saw a very short blip on the news was that it was suspected that this stunt may have damaged his liver. I would like very much to know any websites that reveal some of these tricks. I have seen some that are so good, ya gotta wonder if the guy has made an arrangement with the devil or has a totally different understanding of the laws of physics!

I think he's crazy, but him and Chris Angel (drives a Viper) do put on an INCREDIBLE show!
