Suck on this Chriss Angel

An interesting illusion.

People watch German artist Johan Lorbeer as he is attached to a wall during his performance "Tarzan" in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, June 4, 2006

I love super-flatulence, 'specially when it propels you to heights such as this.

Is it possible to figure out a trick in a negative amount of seconds?

I'm interested to know how it was achieved. Anyone?

Hard to say from a photo (even from a video). There could be many explanations. I'm thinking he might not be able to do it if he removes his arm from the wall, that might be one way.

A pic is a waste of time. Show me a video of HOW he got there and until that, don't insult Chriss Angel, because if anything, the guys does it live.

Skeptics should be smarter than the people they doubt.

Does 'what' live? And by 'live', do you mean without being dead, or in front of live people? Or in front of live people who aren't plants? Or in front of live people who aren't plants without any camera edits before we see it on TV?

Definitions can be so important.

I've seen it explained. There's a steel support bar cantilevered out from the building. It goes through his sleeve, down his back (inside his coat and slacks) and it ends in a small plate inside his shoe for his foot to stand on.

Oh I though you really meant you figured it out; I didn't realise you were kidding!

My god! {oh sorry I don't have a personal god}....

Isn't it obvious?

He's standing on Kate Moss...I can see the smoke!
