Nope, she's really doing it. No camera tricks at all, it's just extremely advanced card manipulation. Since I'm studying card magic, I know how all of those tricks are done, but I can't actually do any of them yet. Get back to me in 5 years, lol!!

Double post! Here's something I just threw together. This is the extent of my talents so far (obscene song in the background for added vitamins):

And we'll all float on alright
October 22, 2007

The people of Times Square might think they've seen it all, but even jaded New Yorkers couldn't believe their eyes when Dutch magician Ramana came to town. The illusionist, real name Wouter Bijdendijk, amazed onlookers with his levitation act on Saturday, hovering several feet above the pavement with apparent ease. New Yorkers, who haven't seen a chubby man levitating whilst staring enigmatically into the middle distance since David Blaine was at the height of his powers, were stunned by the floaty weirdo.

A household name in his native Netherlands, Ramana has performed for Queen Beatrix and has even been honoured in India with the Golden Cloth award, the highest cultural honour ever given to a westerner. As well as levitation, Ramana's repertoire includes 'flying' up to 10 metres above ground, mind reading and other forms of Indian street trickery. "This is an art," he said. And in India, they see it also as a science. I hope I make people wonder,"

That guy's pretty crazy. Nothing too difficult, though, if he's doing what I think he is.

Nice stuff, Kate.

Something tells me that Ramana and Diane (from Finchly) would get on well.
