My apologies if this has been posted here already, but it just blew me away when I saw it. I have some idea of how it may have been done but I'm interested in whatever comments you all might have-if you haven't seen it yet enjoy!

Well it's much better than Davids Copperfield's sawing in half.

Although, this reminds very much of Criss Angel's attempt... With the girl lying on the bench in the park.

Yes, this does look like Criss Angels' attempt, but I would say that this one is much better!!! :D

It's amazing how many camera tricks can be used during a live performance. :D :wink:

Well, the trouble with this kind of illusion is that you *know* there's only one possible way it can be achieved. And that kind of makes it less a magic trick, more an entertainment piece—in this case, pretty close to a circus sideshow.

I am thinking there's some crucial bits we didn't see in the cut scene, but overall, I find this kind of thing a bit weird to classify... it's not an illusion, surely? It's not magic?

Anyone familiar with stage gear will notice two oddities about the props used, which I think give a clue to the legs.

Aside from that, it looks really, really weird. A nice act.

I would agree, now i would be impressed if they used a table which had a top a couple of inches thick :wink:

Still an enjoyable 'act' to watch.
