I hate to be negative...no wait, I love being negative.  Clearly, if the man could really float he'd want a slightly larger crowd around to witness it.  The handheld camera shaking style is meant to make it look more raw and have a "live" look but he could still be on wires that have been doctored out.  The biggest giveaway for me is that on one of the cameras they used a simple "handycam" effect to put the white safe action areas on screen.  Whether he's going between buildings or over a pool the camera always gets reaction shots from "real" people who are amazed at what's going on.  I'll grant that his extras are good but come on, a floating man psht.  My world has no room for magic.
I applaud the producers.  I throw feces at those who believe it's real.

Ian, I think you missed the joke. It was not a personal attack at you or your rig but the fact that the word levitate kinda have similiar meaning with flying. Get it?? Wink That's what Cosmin meant. So put a smile on your face Smiley

I did in fact get the joke but I had been thinking about marionettes and how funny it would be to have one guy flying a rig which was actually suspended by another guy on his back.  Meh, it was funny in my head.
