Staged, I promise. I haven't seen his videos, but I'm sure that computer graphics can do wonderful things

I had no intention on getting in to a discussion on magic. Just so you know I have dabbled in real magic and witchcraft which is why I say if he says what he is doing is magic then he's full of you know what. Levitation is magic. If he is levitating (which I have seen him do) then there's a little more to it than sleight of hand.

On the shows they never give a good, full view of the levitation. Which, if that is indeed an actual levitation, I would surmise that yes, he is getting into actual spells (which explain the amount of concentration he "uses" and the draining effect it has on him). However, all the evidence his shows give is that it's a trick.
