Is it 2 midgets? Is it electronics?

There's a link in the comments. I'll save you reading them:

There seems to be a bit missing from when they move the table to the low trolley, and bring the legs back. Suddenly the guy is off the table top, and on just the trolley.

For the first part, I reckon this is how they do it:

edit: just seen Scrambler's post. That sounds like a much more convincing argument.

WOT? What's this about the Tooth Fairy?


That other stuff is called presterdigitation.:twisted:

Not real magic. But, it's damned impressive isn't it!:D

i hate magicians, they are so damn smug!
they are the devil's handpuppets

i'm speechless that was cool

Beware of wobbly chainsaws:D

Lesse now, there was a midget, and the Hoff and a chick in a very short, umm, dress, skirt whatever (help me here NM)... distraction maybe???

where's my wallet gone?

you know, my 10yo slipped my keys off my belt and I didn't even notice, smart aaaarse....until he started the LAND ROVER for school today...:twisted:

I've sat 5 feet away from an illusionist, who 'sectioned' a female, got me stuffed how he did that...

I'm going back to Sophie Ellis Bextor now, who doesn't need any help...youtube is fabulous...

Did you just happen to whip up that diagram to help explain this? Or did you copy it from somewhere?
