Hovering On a London Bus....

[gray_marian]

Pedestrians and drivers were amazed last week as magician Dynamo appeared to hover above them, holding on to a London bus. The magician and illusionist is famous for making such audacious stunts, and this one was very well appreciated but puzzling.

How do you think he did it?

Marian, I can do that after a few nights on the grog............. Or at least it feels like I can Terry.

Looked like a dummy arm with a harness attached and then cut and paste the image of him rising and lowering himself before and after.

In London, then most likely Ali with his magic carpet I suspect.

[Jacyn Wade]

Okay, Marian, I'll bite. How did he do it?

Hi Jacyn, As stated by Les #3, fake arm & harness.......

How was the harness hidden from view and where was it attatched?

[Les Woodard]

Can not believe you asked that John LOL. Think of the arm as a support beam with a harness attached which supports him. Think parachute harness or something similar. All the rest is dressing and camera work.

so could you please explain how he puts a mobile phone inside a bottle or walks through a plate glass window?. or removes a bracelet from inside a glass display case by putting his hand through the glass.?

All this done in front of complete strangers in the middle of the street, he also walked on the Thames in front of hundreds, the police sent a launch to collect him as he was causing a hazard (so they say) not a false arm or harness in sight. I like the programme even if it's only the looks of increduality on the witnesses faces, he entertains without distressing
