See the news! or Google it!
This guy levitates in front of the White House (wonder why:rolleyes:) and tells people he's doing it to show them that reality is not what it seems!!
Exactly what David's been saying ;)
Watch how the news call him an illusionist or magician instead of a freed consciousness and call his gift a trickery!! "HE's A WITCH!! BURRN BURRRN BURRRN" :o

DUTCH magician Ramana has been doing his best to freak out American people by levitating in Times Square and in front of the White House.
The illusionist, real name Wouter Bijdendijk, hovered several feet above the pavement with apparent ease. His only "prop" was a stick that he held with his left hand.
A household name in his native Netherlands, Ramana has performed for Queen Beatrix and has been honoured in India with the Golden Cloth award, the highest cultural honour ever given to a westerner, metro.co.uk reported.
"This is an art," he said.
"And in India, they see it also as a science. I hope I make people wonder," Ramana said.
Ramana's repertoire also includes "flying" up to 10 metres above ground, mind reading and other forms of Indian street trickery.

he's learned how to levitate sitting on a plate attached to a stick. wow, what a fucking miracle.
How did he do the balancing on the side of the building ? he appeared to only have the sole of one foot against the side of the building and just his heel at one point when the canvas? he was leaning against was blowing in the wind maybe thats where the answer my friend is ! but if it was just a matter of balance still impressive but a huge gust of wind could blow him fro m the structure if that was the case ? couldnt it .:D

I have just read a bit from Path of Empowerment which I feel is relevant to this thread!:)
"Your perceptions of reality expand when you purposely look for new levels of significance, as well as the hidden meanings of life"
This is from me:), if you don't believe and imagine that levitation is possible, it will not become reality...........

The act of being able to float/fly can only be a good thing.

why?
how high?
who is going to coordinate air traffic?
wouldn't it be dangerous if you fell down or crashed with other flying objects?
what if you had a baby and it "levitated" and went in outer space?
what would elevator and stairs/ladders manufacturers and maintainers do for a living?

It’s a magic trick, an illusion! I don’t know why he’s doing but he’s not spent years meditating or anything like that, I learn to “ levitate” cards yesterday!

Would be great to see him move his foot a little bit . . .

Like David Copperfield did when he was sawn in half!
Is it just a trick or real? In a holograpic reality levitation is possible because gravity is an illusion.
The film doesn't show him coming up or going down. If it's trick then the stick obviously has something to do with it, but it would have to be a very strong stick and be buried deep in the ground.

This is very different from David Blaine's levitation. Blaine used to turn his back to the camera so you couldn't see that one of his legs was free to hoist him up. This Dutch guy lets you walk all the way round him and even go underneath!

So if it's a trick, how is it done?

this is a metallic pole attached to a rectangular surface on the ground, painted in wood colors. he has put a rug with a whole on top of it and he covered the edges with the flowers on the rug. the pole seems to be on top of the rug, but it isn't. also, the metal is bent on top so he can sit on it and a small plate is attached to it, which he covers with his pants hanging. he also covers the edge of the pole with his hand so that it looks like a stick and makes the other part invisible.

pissing myself laughing , im not saying its not possible but if he is doing it then why like bill hicks says about people flying on acid dont they do it from the ground up .Impress us by floating up and then around and down .Still trying to figure the side of building one though seemed that the canvas moves a lot due to the wind and appears he only has the end of his foot attched to the wall ,but maybe his leg is bent up behind him yoga style and the leg extending from the wall is false and he is leaning on it .Yoga produces excellent balance .If i cant figure it out then i might start a new business retrieving floating babies ,as they are not aware that they cant float so they should be doing it more often ! maybe they do when we arent watching them .Ive herad a few people unknown to each other state hat they fellandfloated down the stairs when they where children sneaking out of bed .Maybe that is some spiritual presence protecting them or placing them down out of danger but then why did i hear and watch my baby brother constantly bounce down the stairs? i do accept it is probabale and possible honest :D

Yep, that is pretty much how they do it. He must have got there early in the morning so that no-one saw the metal frame he is sat on or how he got onto the said frame with the help of his assistant. It's a great trick tho :)

his leg that is attached to the building's surface is fake. it is the same trick, this time the pole is inside the pants and he is sitting on the thing yoga style, that's why he needs the umbrella.
If i cant figure it out then i might start a new business retrieving floating babies ,as they are not aware that they cant float so they should be doing it more often ! maybe they do when we arent watching them .Ive herad a few people unknown to each other state hat they fellandfloated down the stairs when they where children sneaking out of bed .Maybe that is some spiritual presence protecting them or placing them down out of danger but then why did i hear and watch my baby brother constantly bounce down the stairs? i do accept it is probabale and possible honest :D
it would be nice, i have dreamed that i floated a lot and i really wish i could fly like a bird and i love aeroplanes and stuff, but it is impossible right now. however i don't think it is really impossible to happen some time. i think that given enough time, anything can happen. :)

One question:
Why would he say "it's training, knowledge and a secret" in his interview?
I'm open minded about levitation, but I'm not convinced this guy does it legitimately.
