| So, was it one of those women that have no legs and the other is someone who is one of those bendy gymnasts? Maybe just a video trick? Anybody know the answer? |

This is Criss Angel, a sort of grunge goth version of David Blaine. He's pretty famous in the USA and does a lot of TV work, but he's frankly nothing special. This was a stooge (someone who is "in on" the trick) who has no legs. A lot of his performances include stooges and elaborate set-ups - he's quite the bullshitter. He once did a TV special where he walked up to a busy swimming pool in a hotel complex and spontaneously "walked on water" from one side of the pool to the other. Everyone in the pool was in on it but pretending not to be and it made a lot of goons sitting at home believe he genuinely had magical powers. |

Thanks...I knew it had to be something like that. I've heard of Criss Angel, but I've never really been into watching any of his stuff. |
