Earlier in the week we published an article on Dynamo, the magician who caused a stir in London earlier
this week by appearing to levitate alongside a double-decker bus, was not, in
fact, levitating. It was an illusion.
According to a crowdsourced
investigation conducted on Australia's news.com.au Facebook page,
Dynamo's "arm" was actually a steel prosthetic that was fastened to
the bus. A harness lifted Dynamo into position, the site concluded, as his hand
was tucked inside.
Of course, Dynamo's not the first illusionist to pull
off a levitation stunt using a fake arm. As news.com.au notes, Johan Lorbeer, a German street
performer, has been "hanging off walls in all sorts of impossible
locations, including the sides of street buildings and shop facades since
2002."An Agence France-Presse photo showing one of Lorbeer's
fake arms was held up as proof of Dynamo's trickery. But like most magicians, Dynamo refuses to reveal how he
did it.
