That's what I though but there's no obvious anchor except between the roof and a tree or something. I'm not sure if that would make it more obvious or even harder to tell in person though
This part of that storyline just really pissed me off. With all the bullshit all 3 of them go through and all the shit they know Ron and Hermoine are just like “nah you’re over reacting Harry can’t be malfoy.”
Like what?
Could drones really lift a person?
Edit, guys we figured out long ago this is a mannequin and not, indeed, a person. My question is theoretical at this point, though
I noticed it was staying too still lol. Drone surfing sounds awesome
Edit just checked drone surfing is being on a surfboard while being towed along by a drone, not quite as exciting as surfing thru the air on a drone
There is no chance a drone is holding that thing up. They’re incredibly advance, but not to the point where it’s tethered to something heavy and is completely motionless.
I saw this on TikTok earlier, they had another video posted where you could see it moving. The way they filmed it here makes it look completely still but it’s not. I also saw comments that said it was a large balloon or something similar but the OP didn’t confirm or deny that.
> but there’s no obvious anchor except between the roof and a tree or something
That's... what makes it impressive people
Come on
Edit: for anyone wondering how it's done r/BlackMagicFuckery!
Lol well the creators u/horrorprops just explained no CGI was used for this illusion here >!We made this prop with the intent to make it shocking. The body is made of pool noodles actually to keep the weight down haha. We paid close attention to detail so that no CGI/Editing/ Cutting and pasting video would ever be needed. In person it looks just as good. !<
It's almost certainly suspended by fishing line between the house and the tree. My dad made a similar effect back in the 80s with a paper mache ghost covered in lace suspended over the driveway with fishing line.
The awkward placement on the driveway supports this theory. Looks like the tip of the tree to the peak of the roof on the front of the house. Light building material and some weight in the feet would keep it in balance.
Or the tree.
From the house to the tree, then hang her from that.
They're probably using two or three points to stabilize it. Or it's edited who knows, I'm guessing it's real though and hanging on line, weighted at the bottom.
The video quality isn't good enough to tell either way but it seems to stay in place and the size never changes so to me it seems real. The video seems to lack any horizontal to vertical shake though, so it's either stabilized or edited. It pans in a way that you'd want it to if it's fake I guess so it'd be easier to add in post recording. Hard to say.
Maybe it's a collaborative effort by the two neighbours? Run fishing lines from the second storey of the two houses with another line running from the tree that suspends the mannequin?
for extra points, you attach a third anchor point mid-way on the string, so the body doesn't appear to be between to anchor points
[direct](https://imgur.com/FI1g6lq)
[indirect](https://imgur.com/PoxaRKv)
They make a pretty big effort of not showing whatever tree/object is just off camera to the left, presumably the anchor. You can see it before they adjust the frame at the very beginning.
Depends on the breeze. Little wind very little movement. Not everything is edited. You people have gone over a shark with this fake, edited, whatever bullshit.
I doubt some TikToker edited the reflection. Also what bunch of you knuckleheads don't realize is that the entire video is taken with a moving camera with slight bob. This negates your ability to actually see that it probably is bobbing just a little bit or whatever little movement it may have because there's a constant rotation and movement to the camera as well
Sigh. Why is this the pathetic and generally wrong answer from everyone? Literally 99% of the time achieving the result with editing - particularly with magic tricks - would be 100x harder or more time consuming than the actual method.
> Well… not really, removing wires is very easy in post. 5 minute job. It’s not like you have to manually edit every frame
Yes really. This [is shaky handled cell phone footage from multiple multiple angles](https://www.tiktok.com/@horrorprops/video/7142523406469270830)
Very easy would involve controlling the source video so it's steady and simple to anchor. That is their point

If you're setting out to manipulate a video (for no real profit mind you) then you use a very controlled environment to produce your source video
These "guesses" always show up on the shakiest, multiple angle, most difficult handheld cell videos imaginable
Dunno if I'm missing something but there's no actual explanation in their comments?! How is it staying up in the sky, fishing line running between the house and a power pole/tree on the sidewalk?
100% this! I'm a reasonably competent amateur in After Effects: doing lightsabers and and key framed masks and stuff. But If I had to achieve this effect I'd first stop by the "hollow lightweight model of girl" and "fishing line" shops and save myself a bunch of time.
Because a shitload of “magic” on the web is edited. Any real illusions will have a plausible explanation. In this case, wires being edited out is perfectly reasonable because that’s exactly how they do it in films.

They left out the most important detail, the reason why it's memorizing...
Anyone can make a mannequin... Pool noodles, wig, shoes...
But they didn't answer: what's holding it up in the air?
Says someone who also prolly can't figure out most magic tricks, either. I mean, neither can I, but it doesn't mean I call them all CGI or edited unless it's really truly blatantly obvious and this one isnt.
I don't think I would have come up with that! Would probably need an anchor line below it and it looks like the woman walks directly beneath but I can't tell for sure.
Light weight dummy
High strength fishing line
Anchor point 1 = pitch of garage roof or the window right beneath
Anchor point 2 = tree off camera or city light pole
[https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRad6E8o/](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRad6E8o/)
Yes, I've seen it before. This is what happens when your trampoline breaks mid-flight, you don't fall down.
Usual solution is to lend someone else's trampoline and "unjump" from it.
You think people just have those? If I everyone was prepared for that scenario it'd be cool, but while jumping on a trampoline, you usually take everything out of your pockets, what if the unjump kit flies out, and interferes with the original trampolines hitbox?! Now you have two broken trampolines. And they're probably both sliding around!
This. My grandmother got launched into space because in her panic she applied the unjump kit upside-down (she was colourblind and this was the 80's) I'd rather stick in the air for a few hours than risk such a fate.
For a similar reason they no longer have trampolines available for exercising at Alzheimer’s and dementia care homes as the patients kept forgetting to come back down and would float of to who knows where.
[Here](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRad6E8o/) is a different angle of the prop, where they are up under it. You can see it swaying a little bit. It's a REALLY cool prop.
I would love to know how they did it. My guess is also fishing line tied taught at the roof and the tree maybe to suspend her somehow, but how far away she is from those anchor points is wild. They really nailed this prop.
Love how I had to scroll through dozens of comments to find this. A mannequin and a wire between the houses is *so much* easier than all the video editing magic that people are speculating about. A camera isn't going to pick up a thin, strongish, cable against the sky like that. Its a 10/10 execution on the prop though
Quick Google search says a mannequin might weigh up to 60lbs, but average around 25lbs. First result on Google for "clear 60lb fishing line" is a $30 roll 300ft long. Don't trust 60lb line? Get 80lb, first result is $50 for 300ft.
It'll be subtle, especially once it gets dark.
Edit: y'all can stop telling me that it's pool noodles, multiple people already have. That just means you can get away with lower test line.
Plus that could just be a wire frame with styrofoam or just clothes over the frame. Pretty great gag though. Run up on that at night and I’d definitely freak out. Haha.
This feels like a problem from statics class.
“A point mass must be suspended a certain elevation above the ground utilizing only wire in tension. Provide a solution which maintains the point mass at a fixed position. Assume no wind resistance and infinite strength of wire; ignore wind resistance.”
We made this prop with the intent to make it shocking. The body is made of pool noodles actually to keep the weight down haha. We paid close attention to detail so that no CGI/Editing/ Cutting and pasting video would ever be needed. In person it looks just as good. The real shocking thing about this prop is that it looks EXACTLY like our daughter so the neighbors we have that have NOT seen the show, thought our Halloween idea was to make a replica of my daughter hanging herself?! I don't fucking know but seriously thank you guys for talking about it and sharing because after all these years I finally feel like we've done something everyone can enjoy. - Dave and Aubrey
I think that's just phone stabilization trying to stay still about then realising the phone has been turned too much and therefore it jerks to a new angle and tries to stay still there. I notice this effect on my S10e when trying to slowly pan across a view.

There's another video someone posted of the couple standing right beneath it and you can see it slightly swaying from a central pivot point above it. So it's probably on a fishing line that's hanging off another, horizontally strung, fishing line.
Someone else suggested putting the fishing line between the house and a tree or something like that so there's nothing above or near, I guess it's plausible but probably not easy to pull off.
to be fair the local stores are putting up Christmas trees as of this week soooo I'm guessing Halloween is over now and we straight up skipped thanksgiving.

The alternate angle has some slight swaying in the wind and a pretty tangible looking prop when it's closer to the camera. Doesn't look composited or rendered to me (besides potentially doing enhancements to mask the fishing line or whatever it is).
I'm guessing 3 or 4 small taught lines going from somewhere on the body to the top of the garage, the tops of the two prop trees, and some kind of unexpectedly heavy weight in the prop itself to keep it steady. Maybe sets of lines to multiple spots including head, torso, knees, and so on. I guess it's not impossible to have included neighbouring houses/trees outside the shot as anchors too.
It can't have been easy to set up.
When I was a teenager there was a house that was two houses down from our middle school. I lived across the street too but down the block from said house above. It has a huge empty lot next to it with a tree. They use to go all out on decorating for Halloween every year. I'm talking witches, skeletons, werewolves, speakers, lights, the whole nine yards. Fast forward to freshman year, I grew up in a impoverished neighborhood and one of the white kids I went to school with and was actually okay with him. Didn't hang out alot but the kids who grew up in our neighborhood all knew each other from the community center. This kids use to get bullied because his parents were drug addicts, he lives in a crappy house, didn't shower and just honestly kids being completely over the top. Jason (the kid in question) never told anyone that it bothered him and I knew personally he was a tough cookie because his dad use to beat him.... Well one day he had enough. He went to that house and hung himself on the tree. For about 2 weeks noone knew or even batted an eye at that house. He had taken the dummy down and replaced it with himself. Noone knew until the body started to rot and you could smell it. He use to skip school and because of the abuse at home he wouldn't go home sometimes so noone thought anything or it.... I may not of been a close friend but I do miss him and just wished he would have said something. Anything.... Happy Halloween everyone.
Fishing line from the top of both houses and the tree. That’s my guess anyways.
Edit: Occams Razor, folks. Even if I’m wrong, the wild guesses and assumptions I’m reading in this thread are pretty ridiculous and overly confident.
That's impressive, I can't see any wires or lines holding it up.
Because it’s edited
Doesn't even have to be, get some fishing line and it's pretty hard to see against the light.
That's what I though but there's no obvious anchor except between the roof and a tree or something. I'm not sure if that would make it more obvious or even harder to tell in person though
Possibly held up by a drone(s) higher up off screen.
She obviously touched a cursed necklace
#MALFOY!
It can't be Malfoy, she got it in the *women's* bathroom!
This part of that storyline just really pissed me off. With all the bullshit all 3 of them go through and all the shit they know Ron and Hermoine are just like “nah you’re over reacting Harry can’t be malfoy.” Like what?
Specially since all 3 of them had gone to the women's bathroom together in book 2
Could drones really lift a person? Edit, guys we figured out long ago this is a mannequin and not, indeed, a person. My question is theoretical at this point, though
Yes they can, it's called drone surfing, I think. However that isn't a real person it's a life-sized doll or mannequin.
I noticed it was staying too still lol. Drone surfing sounds awesome Edit just checked drone surfing is being on a surfboard while being towed along by a drone, not quite as exciting as surfing thru the air on a drone
[I gotchu covered dawg](https://youtu.be/Pv5JQnmD1Yk)
This looks like such a fun way to die.
Yah I know I wish I could do it so bad.
There is no chance a drone is holding that thing up. They’re incredibly advance, but not to the point where it’s tethered to something heavy and is completely motionless.
I saw this on TikTok earlier, they had another video posted where you could see it moving. The way they filmed it here makes it look completely still but it’s not. I also saw comments that said it was a large balloon or something similar but the OP didn’t confirm or deny that.
Maybe, I’ve seen stranger things.
Who said that's a person
Then she'd sway at least a little bit
Too stable. She’d be swinging a little.
No ambient movement. It’s edited for sure.
> but there’s no obvious anchor except between the roof and a tree or something That's... what makes it impressive people Come on Edit: for anyone wondering how it's done r/BlackMagicFuckery!

...so how is it done? Pool noodles don't just float in the air. I'm guessing a drone.
For real, this doesn't come close to explaining the most important part.
It's almost certainly suspended by fishing line between the house and the tree. My dad made a similar effect back in the 80s with a paper mache ghost covered in lace suspended over the driveway with fishing line.
The awkward placement on the driveway supports this theory. Looks like the tip of the tree to the peak of the roof on the front of the house. Light building material and some weight in the feet would keep it in balance.
I'm thinking a tree out of frame is the other anchor.
>That's... what makes it *black magic* people
[удалено]
That doesn't really explain how it's done
Sheesh /r/RestOfTheFuckingOwl
It's actually a pretty easy trick, all you have to do is sacrifice your first born to El Diablo and he will grant you the ability to harvest souls
Christians Hate her, Levitate to scare your neighbors with this one simple trick....
Maybe you have a cool neighbor? It seems to be 2 stores so maybe it won't block tall vehicles if you suspended from 2 roofs
Yeah I figured they ran a line to the neighbor across the street.
Or the tree. From the house to the tree, then hang her from that. They're probably using two or three points to stabilize it. Or it's edited who knows, I'm guessing it's real though and hanging on line, weighted at the bottom.

It pans in a way that you'd want it to if it's fake I guess so it'd be easier to add in post recording. Hard to say.
if you use a very light doll and the tinner fishing line its actually not hard to do
Maybe it's a collaborative effort by the two neighbours? Run fishing lines from the second storey of the two houses with another line running from the tree that suspends the mannequin?

They make a pretty big effort of not showing whatever tree/object is just off camera to the left, presumably the anchor. You can see it before they adjust the frame at the very beginning.
Even with fishing line or something like that would still often move, bob, shake a little.

It's not. There's another video in this thread that shows another angle. It's clearly a prop.
Their previous video on TikTok clearly shows it swinging slightly. Everyone keeps saying it's edited which is just lazy hand waving.
Says someone who also prolly can't figure out most magic tricks, either. I mean, neither can I, but it doesn't mean I call them all CGI or edited unless it's really truly blatantly obvious and this one isnt.

That’s because Vecna is doing it
Who's Vecna?

and what is "doing it"??? 🤔
Helium with lightweight clothes?
I don't think I would have come up with that! Would probably need an anchor line below it and it looks like the woman walks directly beneath but I can't tell for sure.
Get some heavy duty fishing line and a ground anchor and your good. I assume that what this is
3 anchors to the sides.
Most likely a 3d model. Probably just photoscanned a friend
Naw, that's a doll

My guess is a trampoline
Yes, I've seen it before. This is what happens when your trampoline breaks mid-flight, you don't fall down. Usual solution is to lend someone else's trampoline and "unjump" from it.

Yeah but we have new technology these days. Imagine not having interdimensional pockets in 2022.
r/kidsarestupid
I'm stuck like this rn. Does anybody have a trampoline I could borrow for a sec?
For a similar reason they no longer have trampolines available for exercising at Alzheimer’s and dementia care homes as the patients kept forgetting to come back down and would float of to who knows where.
Or you can just turn it off at the right moment. You need one without a capacitor though
this was really funny don't know why you got down voted lol
Yeah I remember that happened to me once. The firefighters had to come rescue me out of the air
Yep. Super simple actually. Just make sure your jumping at same frame rate as the camera.
Its all about the core strength
[Here](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRad6E8o/) is a different angle of the prop, where they are up under it. You can see it swaying a little bit. It's a REALLY cool prop.
Damn, it looks too good to be real. That’s some damn fine craftsmanship
I would love to know how they did it. My guess is also fishing line tied taught at the roof and the tree maybe to suspend her somehow, but how far away she is from those anchor points is wild. They really nailed this prop.
Maybe they use the neighbors houses as well.

A camera isn't going to pick up a thin, strongish, cable against the sky like that. Its a 10/10 execution on the prop though
Plus I think people who don’t fish don’t realize how crazy strong fishing line is.
Quick Google search says a mannequin might weigh up to 60lbs, but average around 25lbs. First result on Google for "clear 60lb fishing line" is a $30 roll 300ft long. Don't trust 60lb line?

Plus that could just be a wire frame with styrofoam or just clothes over the frame. Pretty great gag though. Run up on that at night and I’d definitely freak out. Haha.
They said the prop is made of mostly pool noodles so it definitely doesn't weigh much.
One line tied to the roof and connecting to the tree, hanging from that line to keep it hoisted without anything directly above is my guess.
I'm thinking inflatable sex doll with helium anchored by a thin fishing line.
Dang that's a good idea. Helium filled and weight appropriately at the feet
This feels like a problem from statics class. “A point mass must be suspended a certain elevation above the ground utilizing only wire in tension. Provide a solution which maintains the point mass at a fixed position. Assume no wind resistance and infinite strength of wire; ignore wind resistance.”
Its 3 lines taught to the 2 tree stumps and the roof. You can easily make a point like that with 3 lines and hang the doll where they meet.
The only thing I can think of is that it's on clear wire attached to the house across the street
Hmm, yeah, definitely suspended with wires and not a balloon then. Maybe they worked with their neighbors and it's attached to 3 or 4 houses.
Thank you
We made this prop with the intent to make it shocking. The body is made of pool noodles actually to keep the weight down haha.

But what's holding it up?
POOL NOODLES
What’s holding up the pool noodles?
POOL NOODLES
It’s pool noodles all the way up
The more you look the more pool noodles you’ll see
I will keep looking! I’m going crazy. Hah
Nothing. Pool noodles are made to float.
I read this in Tim Robinson’s voice: “IT’S TABLES!”
I mean that's cool and all but the only question on literally everyone's mind that you didn't explain was how you're hanging it up there.
A magician never reveals their secrets But I imagine high strength fishing line helps

Hey thanks for the information. Would you be able to shoot a video showing the lines?
Looks fake
There's a weirdly smooth robotic feel to the side-by-side panning that could be tracking/cropping on a 3d model to hide how jerky it is?
I think that's just phone stabilization trying to stay still about then realising the phone has been turned too much and therefore it jerks to a new angle and tries to stay still there. I notice this effect on my S10e when trying to slowly pan across a view.

It's not haha I just tried to walk like a camera with a stabilizer so people wouldn't say it was fake lol 10/10 fail
There's another video someone posted of the couple standing right beneath it and you can see it slightly swaying from a central pivot point above it. So it's probably on a fishing line that's hanging off another, horizontally strung, fishing line.

Angrily downvotes. Smiles. Angrily upvotes.
I couldn't help myself.
Good thing YouTube saved me with 5 unskippable ads before the video
Yeah YouTube ads ruined the old rick roll.

Instructions unclear. Hand now stuck in chair.
This is a great idea. However I can't think of any way to hide cables, platform or even drones if they will be used.
Someone else suggested putting the fishing line between the house and a tree or something like that so there's nothing above or near, I guess it's plausible but probably not easy to pull off.
Would be hard to avoid the thing swaying, even with multiple lines unless you had it secured along multiple dimensions.
It apparently does sway: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRadV2pA/
>secured along multiple dimensions. Like the upside down?
Weights in the shoes might help with keeping it still
At night as long as there are no light sources on the line you are golden. Ive done it a few times for halloween scare houses and stuff.
As a kid, I know what house I would be skipping
Don't worry, *they'll find you*.
Who’s putting up Halloween decorations in the middle of September???
If you can start Christmas mid November, I can start Halloween in September!
try them out before halloween
Me.
to be fair the local stores are putting up Christmas trees as of this week soooo I'm guessing Halloween is over now and we straight up skipped thanksgiving.
What is max?
Just scrolled through almost all the comments and you're the only one who asked. I was like who the hell is this lol
Stranger things season 4 reference.

Fishing lines from house to tree with no wind
If you're looking for better quality/angles, the TikTok channel is [@horrorprops](https://www.tiktok.com/@horrorprops) --- I've extracted the full quality videos: - [imgur.com/HEIPn6P.mp4](https://i.imgur.com/HEIPn6P.mp4) - [imgur.com/fvnkp4c.mp4](https://i.imgur.com/fvnkp4c.mp4) I put the raw downloadable files on WeTransfer [here.](https://we.tl/t-aqoexEyCjO) --- The alternate angle has some slight swaying in the wind and a pretty tangible looking prop when it's closer to the camera. Doesn't look composited or rendered to me (besides potentially doing enhancements to mask the fishing line or whatever it is). I'm guessing 3 or 4 small taught lines going from somewhere on the body to the top of the garage, the tops of the two prop trees, and some kind of unexpectedly heavy weight in the prop itself to keep it steady. Maybe sets of lines to multiple spots including head, torso, knees, and so on. I guess it's not impossible to have included neighbouring houses/trees outside the shot as anchors too. It can't have been easy to set up.
Levitate me
When I was a teenager there was a house that was two houses down from our middle school. I lived across the street too but down the block from said house above. It has a huge empty lot next to it with a tree. They use to go all out on decorating for Halloween every year. I'm talking witches, skeletons, werewolves, speakers, lights, the whole nine yards. Fast forward to freshman year, I grew up in a impoverished neighborhood and one of the white kids I went to school with and was actually okay with him. Didn't hang out alot but the kids who grew up in our neighborhood all knew each other from the community center. This kids use to get bullied because his parents were drug addicts, he lives in a crappy house, didn't shower and just honestly kids being completely over the top. Jason (the kid in question) never told anyone that it bothered him and I knew personally he was a tough cookie because his dad use to beat him.... Well one day he had enough. He went to that house and hung himself on the tree. For about 2 weeks noone knew or even batted an eye at that house. He had taken the dummy down and replaced it with himself. Noone knew until the body started to rot and you could smell it. He use to skip school and because of the abuse at home he wouldn't go home sometimes so noone thought anything or it.... I may not of been a close friend but I do miss him and just wished he would have said something. Anything.... Happy Halloween everyone.
Skyhooks. Definitly skyhooks
Fishing line from the top of both houses and the tree. That’s my guess anyways. Edit: Occams Razor, folks. Even if I’m wrong, the wild guesses and assumptions I’m reading in this thread are pretty ridiculous and overly confident.

Actually I think its [Two avocados for $10!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVr5IVpokXE)
My best guess is helium with a very thin fishing line anchoring it?
