Haven't seen it performed by Chris angel or THEm, but it sounds like Doug Malloys The Lean.

If the lean is the one where you lean forward then it isn't the effect he is looking for, the effect he is looking for is more like what neo does in the first matrix film when he is dodging bullets, I don't know if this is marketed anywhere, or if Criss had it made specially for him.

Yes, the one he is talking about Criss does in a park to supposed strangers. I don't buy that, but it is still cool. It's where he starts off with them standing....then they lean back while he "spots" them for balance/support. He then has them lift one leg. In the end, the spec is totally parallel to the ground with only one foot on the ground and the leg is bent at a 90 degree angle...the other leg is up with the rest of the body, parallel to the ground.

I can take an educated guess as to how it's done, but it's just that...a guess. I haven't seen this effect marketed though.

I don't think this is exposure, cause it isn't detailing the method of any trick I use in reference. It looks like a move in belly dancing called a turkish drop, only in casic movement anyway. In mindfreak looks like he was searching for the right place of the ground with his foot. So it could be an altered effect to suit that kind of "levitation". I was thinking a modified broom levitation, which I won't say hwo it works, used on one leg. Or possibly a modified version of the lean as mentioned above. And I don't know how the lean works.
-A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.
-It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
-The secret impresses no one. The trick you use it for is everything.

See you space cowboy...

Yes....it looks exactly what neo did in matrix.but this time it's live,infront of real spectators,and it's much slower.it looks unbelivable.
