Hey, i wandered where i can find out about the Lean Back Levitation [I'm sure this is not its name though]. Criss Angel perofrms it on some of his tv programs with him and other people and it has been on T.H.E.M. [Totally hidden extreme magic].

Basically, you just lean back, near to the ground and stay there with no support apart from your legs. It is as if you are laying on a stool with you legs o nthe floor but there is not stool.

Any books or anything that teach this?

Thanks

do they stand in front or behind you or on the sides???

O yes Very cool
Is it the one that cyril performs ? or the one where criss asks people help to lean Back and "sleep" in mid air
Because Cyrils Version (I don't know how)
but Criss's Version is like the Broom Levatation
where you make a woman levatate on a broom
just that its in his cloth

If I have the right effect in mind, imagine a coffee table is behind you, you sit down and lie out full length along that table but with your knees bent and feet still in contact with the ground. Now take away the table (wihtout falling in an untidy heap, obviously!) and that's the way Chriss did it. In fact, I think he actually rasied one leg and stretched it out straight so only one foot was in contact with the ground - and this was done surrounded by specs and out of doors as well.

If it's what I think it is it's not cheap and is custom built for each performer...

yeah thats what i was thinking...

Just as a kindof side-note, has anyone seen the Criss Angel levitation where he levitates a woman in the middle of a crowd in las vegas with (seemingly) nothing supporting her underneath. That stumped me, I love that trick, I see no logical way that it could be done. As magic should be
