How does David Blaine and David copperfield fly in the air?

Question

Even if its a trick how do they do it? And david blaine does it in the middle of the street.

Answer 1

It's a highly secret gimmick that David Blaine himself told the press that " It's not for sale" maybe the secret is too powerful to give away for money when he can earn more by not selling it to any...nevertheless it's a trick/illusion and not some kind of a voodoo stuff

Answer 2

That little hovering trick that Blaine does is nothing more than camera photography and a crane!

The surprised reaction by his audience is from a recording of another trick, edited seamless together to make his television viewers think his subjects were reacting to him flying.

It was quite disappointing to find this out. I thought the trick would be cleverer than that!

Answer 3

There are two ways. One is that they have a fake shoe which can be connected to the other show with a magnet. They also have a slit up one leg of their pants. This allows them to secretly lift one leg out of the (fake) shoe and through the slit in the pants. They use that leg to step up onto a chair in front of them. From behind, it looks as though they are floating, because of the fake shoe appearing to still have a foot in it. It's a scam. The levitation where they go much higher, like from building to building is done with wires. I am 100% certain about my response. Trust me. I have worked on the shows. Now you know. So go impress your moron friends.
