A monk who shows it to you is breaking his precepts. What Blaine did was a camera trick — known as a post-production edit. The audience at home watched the second wire suspension levitation performance, with the audience reaction of the real levitation edited in. During the trick, Copperfield flies acrobatically on the stage, performs a backflip in midair, and then has spinning hoops passed around him, supposedly to prove that he is not suspended by wires.
The illusion sometimes ends with a falcon named Icarus grasping Copperfield by the wrist and flying off stage with him. The levitation of a magician or assistant can be achieved by a concealed platform or hidden wires, or in smaller-scale illusions by standing on tiptoe in a way that conceals the foot which is touching the ground.
In the process her head and hands are seen to emerge from holes in one end of the box and her feet from the other. The box is closed and then sawn through across the middle. Levitation or transvection in the paranormal context is the rising of a human body and other objects into the air by mystical means or meditation.
Some parapsychology and religious believers interpret alleged instances of levitation as the result of supernatural action of psychic power or spiritual energy. While the initial plan was to attach the parachute right from the beginning, Blaine, however, said that it did not match up with the image he had of a person just flying up with balloons. Hence, on his request, the parachute was attached to the balloons which he was to pull out during the course of the act.
The fourth fear was the landing. He had to ensure while landing that he was away from power cables, people and came down on an empty patch. Hence, the Arizona desert was selected as a landing spot as against the earlier plan to perform it at his home-town New York in addition to the weather there. Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Blaine said he had his friend sketch the act he had in mind nearly 15 years ago.
Blaine said he prepared more for this stunt as compared to any other stunts he has performed till date. As per GQ Magazine UK , Blaine has taken serious steps to prepare, including skydives, earning a hot-air balloon pilot certificate, and a different, unspecified qualification for flying helium balloons.
Apart from this, Blaine also did some breathing exercises to be able to breathe at high altitudes. There were no glitches during the act and right through he kept communicating with the team of experts on the ground and his daughter. As against the initial target of 18, feet, Blaine managed to reach over 24, feet before he let go of the balloons and sky-dived.

The closer your audience is to you, the harder it will be to hide your back foot. Stand about feet away from everyone to achieve the best illusion. If the audience is too close, then someone might have a viewing angle that exposes the fact that your back foot is still on the ground. Position your feet together. Place your feet together or leave about 2 centimetres 0.
Giving yourself a bit of space between your feet might help you with balancing. Make sure to line up your toes and heels. Part 2. Shift your weight.
Slightly shift your weight to the foot hidden from the audience. Otherwise, the illusion of floating will be ruined. By talking to your audience, you can divert attention to your face and off of your feet.
You can be as creative as you want when explaining your levitation. Perhaps you spin a tale of studying Buddhism in a monastery in the mountains.
Through your meditation, you learned the art of levitation. Slowly begin raising your arms. Raising your arms will give you an upward motion that will make it look like you are about to float.
You also start building suspense. Think of this motion like a bird flapping its wings in slow motion. Let your upper body rise and fall with your arms for more effect. Raise your audience facing foot. Slowly begin to raise the foot a little off the ground to begin floating.
Raise your front foot about 1 inch 25 mm off the ground. If you raise it too high you will expose your back foot and ruin the illusion. As you raise your foot, angle the edge of it facing the audience down slightly to keep a cover over your back foot. Even though you will be wearing shoes, extend and point your toes upward. Lift the heel of your back foot.
