I really don't know. I didn't watch the vid but i've seen all the episodes... being able to do stuff like that would be a great ice-breaker and also a great way to pick up chicks.

actors.

I bet the chick whose torso was pulled out was NOT the one who originally sat down on the bench. Two different people who switched up. Remember its not live, so they can make it seem like it all happened continously, and the people watching are random spectators.

Pisses me off cuz its deception, but I guess its a way for people with disabilities to make some money  :P

Come on man, it's supposed to look real.  :D If it was obvious what he does the trick would be worthless.

Correct. He plays the angles, and makes sure that nobody sees him as he adjusts the crowd to makes sure they can't see his one leg is being obscured-not just by his actual leg-but also the pant leg of his jeans.

it's old as fuck though, I guess u don't watch tv at all. Now its pretty much one of the "old magic tricks" that everyone knows about.

It's mostly about pscyhology, just notice the acting.

It's one thing to do an illusion (like the one u posted, perfectly fine in my book) but another to outright deceive people and make 'em think u're doing a legit trick. Fuck Chris Angel.

Not so much about psychology, but magicians call it "misdirection." The magician guides your mind in one direction while he performs his trick simultaneously and since your mind is going one way, you miss the way he's actually going.

Maybe "psychology" isn't the right word, but several mind tricks are put to use, of which "misdirection" is one.
