i was watching T.H.E.M. and there was a trck in the intro were the guy leans like 90 degrees forward. criss angel did this 2 on the building walkepisode. what trick is this and were can i find it. also i am interested in the part were he rights them in the ink were can i find that trick.

sorry if this is in the wrong section but i would greatly apriciate any answers

There are a couple of ways to do this, and if you follow my now much repeated Sherlock phrase of:
"Eliminate the impossible, and whatever is left, no matter how improbable, must be the truth"

It's actually very simple, and I know I've seen it in print somewhere.

well i have a basic setup type things but i dont know how he would do it so slow and what about the ink thing. the only thing i can thing about is a magnetic ink. and to anyone whos gone through high school how hard is it to creat rigs like humm how about the bromm levitation thing.

the trick is actually called 'LEAN'... easy enough to remember, apparently its a very expensive gimmick, unfortunately, i cannot remember where i saw it for sale I suppose if you really wanted it, it would be worth the money,just for the reactions from the spectators, but i personally think it would only be suitable for serious street/walk-magicians, doing such an illusion on a stage would give strong suspicions of a mech prob being involved.

Well, if it helps, 'Lean' may just be a brand name.

Harold Lloyd and Charlie Chaplin both used to do similar effects on film... and it can be performed with items which would cost you less than a large pizza, 4 pack of guinness and a couple of movies from Blockbuster.

ok, i know 1 version were you carry around a big steel plate but im looking for a way to be able to walk around and do the effect.
