How was the levitation done?

Was it some sort of platform device that they edited out in post?

I do no harm, I keep to myself; there's nothing wrong with my state of mental health.

probably a few wires connected to a kind of support brace under her back, which let her arms and legs dangle freely. then use digital wire removal program during editing stage.

Oh, I see.

I'm always trying to figure this stuff out.

Same with magicians, like Criss Angel.....I try to figure out how the tricks are done. And I think I've seen him doing something very similar in one of his tv shows. Levitation on his back, I mean. Not the one done with the crane and clever editing.

It was all done with magic. Real magic, though. Not the pretend magic you see from so-called 'magicians' on TV. No, real magic, you know? Like the sort Gandalf has inside him or Puff the Magic Dragon. Or others like that.

Probably a harness attached to wires

The harness was clearly around her waist. Evidenced by the fact that when she is lifted up her stomach is sticking out like one of those starved Ethiopian children they show on tv. The wires are taken out in post.
