Glass slides up into wall while he takes off his shoes. His foot odor distracts the audience...

nice signature pic!

How would the glass slide if they were holding that paper onto the glass? how would the glass slide back into place after he stepped out?

I think the glass was shaped like this:


####
####
####
####
####
#__#
#__#
#__#

The __ = empty space.

They might not have been pressing the paper hard against the glass if they were "in on it" and the shape above would have left an area for the paper to rest on.

If the glass wasn't sliding, they could have just taped the paper to the window...

Magician knows, too bad he won't tell us. Of course, it's impossible, so figuring out the trick is well, the trick. This guy is a weak version of David Blaine, the peeps are in on it.

I actually think this guy makes David Blaine look like an amateur. David Blaine is way overrated.

guys, let me give you a hint. its on TV.

this is no more real than star trek. the only reason why we think this is at all weird s because the "audience" that he has rect the way that they do to validate it. i am willing to bet that they are no really a coincidental audience. they are probably in on it and there is no trick at all, just photography.

i never understood how people were so blown away by something on the TV
