Do you understand how Johan Lorbeer's Performance trick works? if so, plz comment and explain


German performance artist, Johan Lorbeer, found a way to "walk on air". Lorbeer, who has been performing since the 1970's, has been known as the "man who walks on air", and his stunt includes some kind of optical illusions that makes him look like he is defying the laws of gravity

Demon spirits help levitate him to give the false illusion that he has some kind of power, just like in all cases of real levitation. What or who is he in league with ? thats the question, or is he involved in any occultic teachings ??????? hmmmm..

Fake arm connected to the wall. It's a Houdini trick he's ripped off I think.

He is using a harness I've came across this pic before. The fake arm is bolted to the wall with a special harness attached. Johan Climbs into the harness early in the morning so no-one knows and he stays there for hours, waala no-one knows how the trick is done.

the hand on the wall is a false hand connected to a pole which is under his sleeve, which is holding the man up, his real arm however is hiddin in his jacket in some way.

I, being God, levitated him there. He asked me to do so after I claimed his father and mother in a fatal DUI accident. They were both wasted.

No, his arm is real. But he is fake and so is the building.

Arm against the building isn't his real one. (Which is inside his jacket in this particular performance) What you see is a falsie attatched to the  building, to which is attatched a harness that allows him to remain aloft.

um if u dont actually know (as in havnt seen it irl or at least pics of his trick) then STFU!!!! becauase u all sound like dum fucks.  He has a fake arm that goes into the wall in hi left sleeve there is a harness that comes down and wraps around his gooch and straps to each leg.  He gets up with a ladder and helper then puts on the suit to hide the harness.  l2research or go to germany dont show ur stupidity on the internet  cuz now we all know how fucking retarded u all are
