Hmm..both levitations looked EXTREMELY good. With Criss Angel I suspect camera editing, simply because hes so known for doing that. But Cyrils levitation..I really have no clue how he did it. Unless of course he took the editing route on that one as well.

With Criss's, I suspect that there were some plexiglass "pillars" inside the fountains, and she was just laying on those. It might have been the fact that the water was pushing up against her, keeping her suspended, but I doubt that.

As for Cyril's, like always, he does it amazingly fair and well, and I have no idea.

Ciryl's trick is greenwall/camera edited and the couple at both of his sides and the loating girl are all actors (I think). Even when ciryl is a great magician/creator and performer he have a few camera edited tricks.
The levitation tricks aren't that hard to do all you need is helpers and a invisible way to lift up a person

I know that Criss, sadly, has a reputation of using film edits, however, Cyril has a very good reputation at being very fair. I know that he uses props and stooges sometimes, but so far I have not seen any evidence in the way of film editing. I really would like to learn how he did this effect. Simply marvelous.
