It's illusion. No one has super powers, and if he did, he would probably be arrested or used for some government related purpose.

He is an illusionist that does tricks in a studio with the benefit of completely controlling exactly what the camera sees. In the past, magicians were solely "live" performers that usually were either surrounded by people or were on a stage in an auditorium or theater. If televised, the magician would take pride in not cutting away the camera shot. Everything that the camera saw in the past, was exactly what the audience saw which kind of gave the audience at home a feeling of actually being there.
The current practice of magicians is to perform tricks that they couldn't possibly get away with in front of a live audience. They often only show a small part of the trick while claiming that the camera doesn't cut away. This is partially true, but what they don't mention is that what we see at home, isn't the entire trick that the audience saw.
The best example of this is when David Blaine led us to believe that he levitated 6 feet in the air on the street surrounded by people. After wards, people said that he just rose up in the air right in front of them. This reaction was shot while he merely levitating merely 1 inch. The home audience never got to see what he actually did. What we saw at home was actually his demonstration of how magicians traditionally levitate. But he was not lying by saying it was an honest audience reaction.

Illusion,he uses the "old school" tricks for his act,I heard he was even gonna use "magic" mirrors to make Britney look like she was disappearing during her VMA performance(we do wish she would've disappeared) but because of Britney's lack of practice he didn't do it.The only real tricks people are allowed to use take alot of training and they are ancient tricks used especially by the asian culture.

I agree with H. Spencer...
If he truly HAD superpowers...he'd already be locked up by some division of the government.
He may have a good harness of the brains powers of suggestion...but he can't zap you with a laser out of his finger...KWIM?
