use the force

[RD'S Alias - 1A]

The question I have is this:
Was this faked for Youtube specifically? or is it designed to fool a live audience.

If it is designed to fool a live audience, then a lot more thought must be put into how it was pulled off.

I still say he has a friend that is a sharp shooter with a BB gun, and his Gay pants have something to do with it as well.

this could be easily done with pre-broken boards, and fishing line tied or looped to his shoe. People never look at the feet.but you could be right, watch his left hand.

Doesn't look like he's pulling his hand back any further for the "break" than during his prep, so I don't know if he'd be holding a line there. It does look like he brought his right foot back further and with more force, and wiggled it, on the final attempt, so he could have a line attached there.

Anyone else notice the boards "broke" from the middle out (3, 2, 4, 1)? Makes sense; attaching a line or other mechanism to one of the middle boards would be much less likely to be spotted.

pre cut bricks + magician cord (not noticable to the naked eye unless viewed very close. its how they do any simple floating trick.)
