Like Ted said, we know too much to be fooled. My first thought upon seeing these photos (in an email) was "photoshop"; my next (upon seeing that the crowd were actually responding to his presence) was "wonder where the support is?" These days we KNOW it's a trick, the only question is how it's done... Doesn't take much research to find a photo like the one Tres linked, either... Does that make us wise? Or cynical?

Yeah, you could tell in some pics about the arm.

We know too much these days to be fooled by such tricks.

Oh, I'm pretty sure it's the same trick that some Hindu gurus use in India where they look like they are floating off the ground. The trick that they do is they put in a metal bar into the ground with a seat that they sit on. Then they cover the bar with their clothing. I'm pretty sure Johan has done the same type of trick where a metal bar runs down his jacket and props him around the waist. Or it may very well be that he has magic powers! @_@

Seems to me that most of the crowd doesn't even care about him.

Course it could be that they just haven't noticed him yet. I mean why would anyone notice a man standing over their head?
