While researching the secret behind Dynamo, the levitating magician's bus trick in London, I have come across an illusionist that has been doing the trick for a while.

German street performance artist Johan Lorbeer has made a name for himself putting together shows in which he embodies characters while clinging on to walls.

Reports say that two of his better known works, from his “Phenomena of perception” series are “Proletarian Mural” and “Tarzan.” The latter is illustrated in the video above, which has been captured in 2008.

As I informed you, the trick is performed with the use of a metal apparatus equipped with a prosthetic hand. It is strong enough to support a man's weight. The artist also wears a harness to keep himself in an upright position.
