I am really skeptical about all of his tricks, this one is still makin me scratch my noggen … I want to agree with “i know the answer” about the woman with no lower half cuz i seen that on TLC, but i dont think it is the same woman, and well as for two little people, its kind of hard to say that because look at the feet, either electronics on the bottem and a little person on top .. how come we cant see the womans belly wen she takes off? how come her shirt is soooooo baggy … magic = illusion … so he aint magic thats 4 sure … i dunno, someone come up with a theory besides little people and electronics …
