You can’t see it in this photo–I have to leave a few surprises for Penn and Teller’s TV show–but Frank has been showing the camera some very, very spooky levitation effects. Here you see two actual physics demo ninjas–Markos Hankin and Patrick Ragsdale (the same Patrick Ragsdale who does scriptalias.com)–who set up these effects in MIT’s Junior Physics Lab. If something flies off the table or catches on fire, these are the folks who step in to make everything right.
Right now they’re just watching the show. I’ll keep you blog-posted on when you can do the same. Penn and Teller’s third season, with the segment on ghosts, starts later this spring.
