In Blaine's video he does a levitation trick but some secrets about it were revealed.
He actually did 2 common levitation tricks one involves a prop and the other he has people stand at a certain angle so they can't see part of his foot is still on the ground. The video shows the simple trick where it views his feet from the proper angle so it looks like he lifted off for a few seconds. They then edited the film and showed the crowd reacting to the other more impressive levitation trick that can't be shown on video without revealing the secret. So the editors made it seem more impressive by changing the reactions of the crowd.
You can do the simple version looking at yourself in a mirror from the proper angle.
Some of his illusions use the video format and the limited information it gives as part of the trick.
I love Blain he's awesome!
I found the explanations online somewhere.
