How did they do it?


This in an amazing trick. It was done without video manipulation, but they won't tell how it was done because it would violate the magician's code.

According to snopes.com:
  • The man shown orchestrating this event is magician Chriss Angel, and this clip was taken from his Mindfreak television program, which airs on the A&E cable channel.
  • The illusion he performs is not dependent upon video manipulation or digital trickery — it can be executed essentially as shown in the video clip.
  • The woman is not actually being pulled apart; she's taking part in what is commonly known as a "magic trick."
More than that we cannot say without running afoul of the magician's code. To viewers determined to figure out on their own how the illusion is accomplished, we'd recommend watching this video clip several times with a skeptical eye, keeping in mind the whole time that:
  • It isn't "magic" — there's a logical and straightforward explanation for what you're seeing.
  • All the details of the performance — even actions and appearances that are seemingly innocuous or unimportant — have a purpose.
Can anyone here figure it out?
