Dutchman Appears to Levitate Outside White House
Reuters has a video up of a performance outside the White House yesterday by a Dutch magician called Ramana, in which he appears to levitate. Ramana apparently trained at something called the Academy of Magical Sciences in India, but sources tell us he had to drop out during his senior year to go on a long, circuitous trip with his two best friends in search of an evil nemesis. Now that David Copperfield has fallen from grace, could Ramana be captivating enough to fill his spot as Las Vegas' greatest showman? You be the judge.

Feh. I saw a documentary or something on street magicians in India. He's sitting on a stool, which is attached to the cane. Skepticism, for the win.
The magic of cantalevers!! My next trick I will use this small rubber triangle to hold this huge and heavy door open as if you had a ghost doorman!!!!
Also some crap about mystical indigenous peoples or something....that makes it legit.
Yeah, you can easily tell he's on a cantilever as his right leg is leaning down more than his left.
What would be more impressive is if someone stuck that cantilever in WASA's collective you know what!

You mean, the guy probably isnt really using supernatural powers to float in the air?! Shocking!!
They call them magic tricks for a reason... if you're not amused then don't watch the show.
Why was this artle not entitled "The Flying Dutchman"?
Yeah, bad call on the title. I woulda gone with "Mystery Dutchman Floats Higher than President's Approval Rating" or some such quippy bull***t.
Here's why:
