His torso is twisted so that he appears as if he's facing forwards. His knee's are bent at the appropriate knee length of the pants. There's surely something in said pants for it to keep it's form. Then he just hopped his way down the steps and then slid back into his pants.

It's hard to decribe exactly what I'm imagining. =/ But I bet with some work and a lot of practice, it can be done that way.

imho, he is to old to do ****** like that. Not that I have a better solution, but anyway..


edit: okay so I just watched it again, and it's clear that when he exposes his "severed" torso that he is standing sideways and that there was a prosthetic shirt contained in the drape. Check the collar of his shirt when he looks at the audience from under the drape.

This is...not real lol

Yep, rigid body shell. Plenty of Japanese vids using the same technique have been posted here before.

they have this german video that shows how he did most of his famous tricks floating around the web. I don't understand a word but it does recreate some and show the flying one, if you look, the bars never actually hit his wire in the middle, they just move around to look like it and then when in the box they just seperate to form 4 line at the corners

He does his shows live... because i've seen it live.

what i'm saying is i think the audience was in on the trick, and were only there to lend credibility to the trick

So how does that explain the OTers that saw it live? Your argument has been beaten with a stick to the point of redundancy. Its like playing pictionary and you're the guy going "IS IT A JACKAL?! A JACKAL? JACKAL?! IS IT A JACKAL? JACKAL!?

hahahaha, the reason i kept insisiting the audience was in on it is because i didn't see anybody here say that when they were at his show live that they saw him do this trick

lol... if it wasn't right the first time, then why the hell would it be right the next 10 times (or something like that), there's always a place for Family Guy humor
