The Lean?

Postby Barnabas » Oct 9th, '06, 23:15



One of my favorite levitation tricks of all time isn't really even a levitation. Its an illusion that has you almost floating in an impossible position. To this day I only know of two versions of this. The first one is the forward lean as seen in the link below.

The second is my favorite, however I'm not sure if it uses the same technique. This one is the backward lean or the "Matrix Lean." I have only seen this performed three times. Twice by Chris and another by two member's of T.H.E.M as seen below.

Please tell me if you can, if these two are closely related. Sorry if I'm breaking the rules by accident.

Why pm you?

But yes I have been told they are basically the same; though you either need a slight addition or some muscle strength in your legs- for the lean backwards version.

well its alright if dont pm..

I just wanna ask where can I get the lean from UK instead of getting it from Doug Mollay cause he cant send the plate to UK as it costs a lot.

So, I am planning to get one from UK and some magicians told me to get from Dream-Concepts. I tried to go their website and it seems the site is down.

Regards.
Alvin
