Tenkaikool,

Just because the original sightings of the Hindu Rop Trick was a hoax, doesnt mean by todays standard its not achievable. I'm quite sure its achievable, after all, we've seen magicians fly, walk up a wall, walk through a glass window. Almost anything is possible i guess.

Maybe u could brainstorm on how to make it happen.

All the best.

Sorry for some mistake, re-post again

For your information, the Indian Rope Trick are confirm a hoax. Nobody have ever seen that trick performed in a open area before. It is the same theory as Yoga where in books, it shown that Yoga master can actually float up from the round.
In reality, no one ever see that with their own eyes.

With today standard of magic, there is no way that the Hindu Rop Trick can be perform outdoor without any camera tricks. That goes the same to magician who float, fly, walk up the wall or even thru the glass window. All that can only be shown on video,not in real life. S0 not almost anything, everythings is possible with camera tricks.

Remember when David Blaine floaded more than 2 feets of the ground? IF you dont believe me, try buying that particular lecture DVD for USD$34.95 and you will understand what I mean.
Only the most 3 inches off the ground.

Please remember, magic is only an art, not reality
Sorry as I dont intend to offence anyone here, I just share my thought!

Vincent,

True. But i wasnt refering to any version (doesnt matter indoor or out).

But it would be nice to see someone achieve it...indoor or outdoor, video or real life. I'm very sure it can be achived as a stage effect.

About the Blaine Bald**** levitation, magicians know that. But laypeople watching TV don't. They believed it. In their mind, he really did float 2 feet. Although that created a hard act for other magicians who don't have a TV show to to follow

Don't worry. I'm not offended. ;)

The image i post is an video, ancient video clip.
I have no idea doesn't notice this video use a camera trick...because it only black and white.

The Blaine levitation, Criss Self L***, Brad L****, i know. I come across the hindu rope because i see the original video clip [Black and White] a documentory. The scientist did study this and proof that is possible but not for the previous old age [Black and white movie ages].

I think it is possible achievable outdoor, but if really a hoax forget about it.

Hi Jeff, thanks for your posting, i appreciated that. Dont worry,no hard feeling. Why should I in the first place, we are only exchanging our point of view and opinion rite,Tenkaikool?

Nowaday, I dont really enjoy magic on TV anymore as most of them are performed with the help of camera tricks or with own assistants. Guess very soon, it wont make any different from wrestling. I still enjoy those good old days magic show on TV.

Take care everyone here.....lets us make magic happen together
