If you like magic, you'll LOVE this.
I'm into magic and I know how a lot of it works, as I do card tricks myself ... but some of this on this vid .... well, I honestly haven't got a clue.
Forget Dynamo, Blaine and the rest of the charlatans .... this is how it should be done ......

He's (obviously) very, very good.
However I've seen one illusion that stands out in my mind as even better. Almost every 'disappearing assistant' trick I've ever seen has required the assistant to get into a box (or similar) and then 'disappear'. There has been just one exception, where the assistant simply vanished while fully visible to the audience!
It was back in the 1980s when I'd taken some kids to see a show of nothing but magic at a London theatre. (I was worried that they might get bored but they were totally entranced all the way through). It was the annual production of the Junior Magic Circle, with Paul Daniels' son among the performers. However they had one established 'big name' guest on the bill, Hans Moretti. As part of his act he put his assistant into a string hammock, which was then hoisted above his head, leaving his assistant clearly visible and absolutely nowhere close to anything else that she could even touch (yet alone 'vanish' into). He then fired a stage pistol at her and, as he did so, one end of the hammock dropped to the floor with his assistant no longer visible.
I've watched many magic shows since but that's the only time I've seen a person being made to completely vanish while they were (up until then) completely visible to the audience. So that, in my mind, was the greatest trick that I'm ever likely to see.
