#1 A Thriller Of A Trick!
Ever wonder how Michael Jackson did that gravity-defying forward lean? He had specially designed heels built into his shoes that were similar to the end of a hammer. There were also nails in a particular part of the stage where he could walk over to, clip his shoes in, and let the physics take care of the rest.
#2 You're Not A Wizard!
Baggy clothing hides the secret to this levitation stunt. The rig is hidden inside of the performer's costume and he sits comfortably like he was on a chair... A very elaborate chair.
#3 Levitating A Woman
The lady lays atop a board that is actually held up by a metal rod. The chairs help sell the illusion but don't actually do anything. The magician stands in front of the metal rod so that the audience cannot see it.
#4 Curved Boxes For Body Separation
This is how a magician is able to contort his body in order to give the illusion that he is being sliced into separate segments.
#5 Sawing A Woman In Half #2
This is almost the same as the first example, but instead of two women, artificial feet are used and only a single lady gets inside the box.
#6 Another Form Of Levitation
This trick also uses a set of rods that hold up the wooden board with the assistant, but this time they rise out of the stage to give the illusion that she is "floating" upward.
#7 Sawing A Woman In Half
There is already a woman hiding in the bottom-half of a second box, where the legs should be. The illusion is that the lady is cut into two pieces, when the reality is that it is really two women.
