I'm sure you folks from the UK will be able to answer this one.... :mrgreen:

OK Folks who can work out how he does this ??

Magnetism.??

Some type of frame under his clothes..?

Or simply the magic of the London Red Bus???

Pedestrians and drivers were amazed last week as magician Dynamo appeared to hover above them, holding on to a London bus.
The magician and illusionist is famous for making such audacious stunts, and this one was very well appreciated but puzzling.

How do you think he did it?

Yeah, and fake arm. Ever watch the TV show Breaking The Magicians Code? Explained in there. Hoisted and lowered with a crane. Bus and people inside part of the act.

If he can really levitate, then why is he relying on the bus to get him around?

And the crane followed the bus through the streets and Parliament Square?

I don't know how he does it but he also walked on the Thames.

I note the bus was empty when he got of, and there's not that many buses get a police motorcycle outrider. My guess is an internal frame and a false arm.

Looks like an interesting way to avoid paying for a bus ride!

Ok, it's a Pepsi ad. Trick photography. It's easy to achieve all you saw without anyone on the side of the bus. Careful editing, and green screen work. Ultimately, it's a Pepsi promo.
