:goes back in time, deletes the name David Blaine and replaces it with
Andi
Peters.

I'm sure they could hammer him onto the other side. I never understood
why they only had one person per crucifix, such a waste of resources.

They should replace the crucifix with the same sort of design as those
rotary washing lines...those aluminium christmas tree constrictions. Because
of it's 3 dimensional nature I recon you could crucify perhaps 8 people at
once, they'd rotate round in the wind (add chimes to their ankles) and,
because of the aluminium, it would be extremely easy to carry up the hill.

A cheaper option perhaps would be to hammer Anti Peters onto David
Blane...it certainly has more versatility and you wouldn't have to go up a
hill to do it either, unless they wanted to, in which case I recon they can
go up a hill.

That's true, but the camera doesn't show his feet when he's doing it.
They then cut to the reaction shot, but you don't see what they're
reacting to - a bit like those I can't believe it's not butter ads.

They then film him being hoisted up by a crane, on the same
street.

The key thing is that they dress someone in the same colour top as one
of the original observers and shoot from behind them, but with their
arm, or part of their torso in shot. This way it looks like it's the
same people watching him get 3 feet off the ground (with a crane) as
saw
him appear to rise about 1 foot off the ground.

Apparently they just use the same people as befo

"...After the Balducci levitation, the producers of the show had these
same people stand by for another taping of the illusion - this time the
camera would shoot from behind the audience members to get a clear view
of Blaine in action. The audience members were told that this second
performance was to show them how magicians could use wires to levitate.
And this is exactly what happened. A small harness and rig (just out of
camera view) was set up and Blaine performed a standard
wire-suspension."

That's even sneakier, making the members of the public unwitting
complicit.

The magician will be suspended from a crane in the box, just seven
feet deep, seven feet long and three feet wide.

Can we have a phone-in poll on whether we let him out again at the end?

Alas, too late.

The last time I used my Ouija board, we actually got the thing to work,
however it didn't work exactly how I had imagined: "Is anybody there...."
And the planchette moved to: "No"
