Hey guys, there is an illusion ive been dieing to know more about. I've only seen some magicians preform it, Angel and Cyril is some of them.

They bend back, relax then let go off one foot. Better explained in the pictures!

Whats the name of this illusion? Is the secret known to many magicians? Can I buy it somewhere? Is it simple? Can you do it surrounded?

Dont get me wrong, i dont want you to reveal the illusion, i just want information about it, that doesnt reveal it!

Sorry about my english, thanks anyways!

I believe this effect is usually referred to as "muscle suspension" or "neo suspension". It also has been done in "T.H.E.M" with two people at the same time.
About the way it works, it seems to me like some weird variation of "The Lean" (also an illusion done by both CA and Cyril and many other performers).
Could be that it can even be done with a standard Lean gimmick (I don't own the gimmick, only know pretty much how it works, and this looks rather logical).
