those things r usually aired for television...so ure basically seeing a lot of accomplices of the magician around ..and the accomplices also have to be great actoirs to make the trick n the supridse look believable...i saw one where they made a truck kept inside a cage disappear..
basically they covered the whole thing in white and ppl surrounded the truck on all sides to ensure that it wudnt slip past them hhehehehe.
anyway when u learn the secret...not only does the fascination die but more than that u feel how stupidly simple the whole method to deceive the audience was...so in the case of this trick..what they didnt tell u was once the curtains came down..the truck drove backwards into the backstage...and mechanics whod been hiding in diff parts of the truck came out and resoldered the hole in the cage through which the truck disappeared...so voila the curtains were let up and aacracadabra the truck had vanished...
why didnt u hear the mechanics working away or even the truck driing out....coz ure seeing it on television

He doesn't. The trick involves two parts
1. He makes himself appear to be levitating (to the people on the street) by doing this clever thing where he balances on the heal of one foot and brings the front of that foot up at the same time as raising all of the other foot. The combination of the fully-raised foot and the front of the partially raised foot hide his heal.
2. They then go away and dress a couple of insiders in similar pants to the people on the street, and film him being lifted off the ground with the imposters legs also in shot.
The whole lot is editted together and bob's you uncle.
