@op, I still don't see how your write up explains anything about this. Could you throw more light?

The best explanation is that the guy is probably wearing a trouser with the back/bottom/yansh loaded with magnetic of opposite pole to the one loaded below the carpet spread on the floor. You know how magnets of opposite poles repel each other, that how the guy's yansh is repelled from the carpet if he tries to sit. In the end, it seems like he is sitting on nothing but magnetism is at work. Like if you agree.

I watched the video to the end,their seem to be some manipulation towards the end. At the point where the performer places a red piece of cloth over himself the scene changed entirely into him sitting on air. The case here and the one that played out appears metaphysical, not sure physics has sufficient explanation for it.
Also your brief account above is insufficient.
Watch this video to the end and sees for yourself. Nothing metaphysical.

For a grown up man sitting all day not being able to do anything thing for the rest of the day shows how worst this world has gone... so so sad. What applaud do the amass for this rubbish.

Op, that is metaphysical,in my L.G.A there is a particular villge, that during their annaul village celebration: they will display different type of play. One of them how they will grab somebody frm their group, put him in a big motar and pound then you will see them person coming from them front. If u think it is simple just try what you narrated above.

@ op, I don't think the 9ja guy used rod oh. I think he used magnets. He would have been busted if people saw him setting up rods by the roadside. I think he used negative and positive magnetic force to create an invisible platform on which he now sat on. It's still physics.

This your physics explanation nah wa ooo. You better not teach any of ur younger ones this kind physics. dem go fail oo. You are murdering physics with ur explanation. It has nothing to do with magnetism. It is more about lever system. Gerrit?

Cgeck where is his feet are. Thats where he is connected to the support. In all the pictures something always connect them to the ground. Either a rod or their legs touching the ground.

The op too has not fully grasped the concept.
Ok in te nigerian scene, no "pole" is seen and in the mallam, no red carpet is also seen ... so is that scientific busting or what? science must have a repeated incidence .

The down support or slab or plate is always cover by rug , the walking stick or handle or rod is a strong special steel alloy that can carry heavy weight even when it is thin or bended, the remaining rod is inside his cloth, shirt and trousers.
that is why they do not allow you to see when he will start or end.

In Reply to this thread on FP yesterday and today

https://www.nairaland.com/2459121/more-photos-magic-guy-sat

This is floating trick illusion explained and this is not magic as people believe. Next time you see the man, just ...aahahahahahah..


This is science at work and am surpried that many physcis students cant even burst the lies on that thread.

Let us figure out what is really happening.

At first glance, your eyes are in disbelief. How can a man be floating in the air?


Clearly, passerbys watching this street performance are impressed and taking photographs.

There's a platform that the performer is actually sitting on this entire time, and that platform is connected to the pole for support. It's not a coincidence that in each of these instances there's always a "carpet" of some sort at the bottom to cover the base.

here you have it! It turns out those seemingly long hours of floating meditation were just hours of sitting! You and I can easily do that. Wouldn't you agree?



See thE video below and the trick of levitation and flotation will be perfectly clear.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/3gVw79AEVhE

There is a steel plate on the pavement, covered with a grey carpet. In the corner of the plate, there is a rod sticking out. Into this, there is a steel platform, on which the performer sits. The steel tube which holds the platform runs up his left sleeve.
Another one

Get educated and be informed..


Op, please prove it to us. Just a little illustration from you will be okay since you know it all.
Thanks

Guy, please keep your knowledge of physics or science to yourself.
This is real magic and not what laws of motion can explain.
