It's an Illusion!

Okay, see if you can figure out the levitating guy.

I will tell you it is NOT a Photoshop job. I figured it out almost instantly...probably from too many years of looking at pictures that allegedly show UFOs or that we didn't land on the Moon and getting to know optical illusions fairly well in the process.

he colored a shadow on the ground and is just standing a little over the spot as to give it the illusion ofhim levitating over it.. I would guess anyways..

if I look just at his feet it really looks like it's just a little dark mark that is by his feet and not so much that he is levitating, but if I look at the whole of him then it looks like he is levitating.

Yep, he is standing next to a mark on on the ground.

Well placed oil spot. Got it right away. Still looks hokey.

You guys got it quick...if you cover the mark with a finger, there is no illusion. Still cool though.

More likely, it's alien technology.

lacking depth perception, I just saw the spot beside him, had to look twice to see 'the illusion', I guess I'm just a bit tooo irregular

Interesting...I should have made the picture smaller. I only see the illusion if the entire body and the spot are on the screen. If I scroll so his head is cut off, the illusion goes away (for me at least). Anyone else get this effect?

Levitate? It looks like he peed on the street.
