Complain if you like but this deserves its own thread.
 
I've watched it about 5 times and I can't work out how this is done.

Could he be an amputee? But that doesn't explain the legs and ending.

Theories?

It's PFM.

PFM???

I certainly don't see how that's possible.

PFM = Pure F****** Magic.

... and neither do I. Usually wen a trick is revealed it's fairly simple but this one has me stumped.

The top half is a guy that has no bottom.

The bottom half is an oompah-loompah guy hiding in a pair of pants draped over some sort of platform contraption strapped to the guy's shoulders... flat on top so the guy with no bottom can sit on top of it.

You're welcome.

I think you're right. There was a quick cut at the end. I suspect there's some clever editing to hide the fact that it's two guys.

The top half guy would have no pelvis. It's amazing that anyone could survive such a procedure.

Yeah and no blood!

I'm also amazed that those staples can hold the guy together!

Agree^^. Probably a quick release/connect mechanism on top of the platform and bottom of the bottomless guy which allows for the abrupt "cutting" off of the torso and reconnect on the table. Still, fascinating to watch (and the audience participation girl was hot:D.)

There's a cut at 2:43 where you don't see the guy and his legs wheeled offstage, and then back on, that's where they make the switch. This trick is on Youtube several times, search for Kevin James Magician and watch the other versions. The 1/2 guy and his legs are always wheeled offstage, and a whole guy comes back. The person getting cut in half always has a mask, goggles and a hat on, to hide the switch.
