Mar 28 – Peruvian magician Princess Inca leaves onlookers spellbound as she seemingly levitates in mid-air.

Claudia Pacheco, aka Princess Inca, drew a multitude of fans for the event staged in the central Plaza de Armas square in the coastal capital city of Lima.

Although Princess Inca doesn’t reveal how she achieved the levitation, one way that illusionists perform this trick is to sit on a seat that is anchored by a rod that eventually connects to the pole.

The rod can be hidden under flowing clothing.
