Alex Stroup shed some scientific light on that please! That was so freaky!

On a side note, if I were dismembered, I would be crawling towards my legs, not away. And then I would sue.

ETA: Oh yes, video editing! Haha, of course!

I'm no expert on how magic tricks are done. But the second woman was obviously a plant (if not the entire crowd) and her skirt conveniently hid the area underneath the bench.

It also causes me to wonder how much a double amputee makes being used in a magic show.

If it was done in front of a mostly unstaged crowd, I would be interested to see how the reattchment was handled.

Ok, that is freaky!

(but i bet the short lady was glad she was just a red herring)

The use of amputees in magic goes back way before vaudeville. This seems like a great opportunity to tell anyone who hasn't done so to check out Tod Browning's classic movie FREAKS. (related by only the faintest of tangents, I know, but damn I love tha tmovie.)
