Magician and TV personality Justin Willman managed to send shock waves once again when he levitated for more than seven seconds in front of a live audience. Only this time the audience was his own wedding guests while he was performing his first dance with his newlywed wife Jillian Sipkins.
The 35-year-old host of Foodnetwork's "Cupcake Wars" uploaded a video of his first dance that has taken the internet by storm. The video, which was uploaded on YouTube on Sept. 10, has garnered more than 7 million views since then.
It seems to be just an ordinary first-dance video of the celeb-couple at first. However, when they gained momentum, the audience seems to be mesmerized by their tricks and stunts. But the high point of the dance came when the bride seemingly put a spell on the magician who bent backwards and appeared to ascend for at least seven seconds as "I Put a Spell on You" played on in the background.
The illusion, as can be seen in the video below, was amazing and got everyone off their feet.
However, some online commentators were quick to point out that the gig has something to do with the chair which the couple moved out of the way before the levitation or perhaps the rug that had been laid down on the dance floor, Daily Mail reported.
Willman later revealed to People that his accomplishment was a "mix of magic and a few thousand sit-ups." Also, the couple allegedly practiced the dance moves for weeks to put up a magical performance for their audience.
The couple's hard work seems to have paid off seeing the reaction of guests in the viral video, especially Willman's father who can be seen standing and throwing his hands in the air with sheer disbelief and excitement.
This is not the first time that the couple has gone viral. Their earlier video compilation of how they met, which is more of a replication of Comedy Central's "Drunk History," also went viral with more than 2 million views. The clip, which was shown at their rehearsal wedding, shows their journey to date as how they first met at a charity event and how their romance flourished, thanks to Instagram.
