On the TV show "America's Got Talent," magician Kevin James performed an illusion in which he seemingly cut his assistant in half at the waist. The assistant was on the floor walking on his hands with only an upper body and no legs. How was this trick done? Unfortunately, I missed part of the trick.
My first assumption is that the assistant is actually a person who doesn't have any legs whatsoever (there are people like this), and so the assistant first appeared on a fake pair of legs which made him look like he has a whole body. Then Kevin James made it appear as though he cut his assistant in half at the waist.
I didn't see the end of the trick after he "reassembled" the assistant's top half of the body to the legs. Did the assistant walk away or something? Did the legs move?
Maybe I'm totally off-base with my take on how the trick happened, so please add your comments.

Rattlesnake, I was also very disappointed in Kevin James' last illusion. I was expecting to be blown away by his trick, but it stunk.

I could show you if you'd like to be cut in half

Yes, the assistant walked away.
I was sort of thinking that the legs were "hidden" in front of his body...his shirt was rather loose.
But this week's magic act really wasn't that great, was it?

i havent seen it but maybe the top half was an amputee and the bottom half (the legs) was a contortionist if that makes sense

I don't know how he did it, but he has had some awesome acts that are better than some of the greats out there.
