HOW THE HECK DID THIS CHEERLEADER STEP ON THIN AIR?

SHE JUST STEPPED ON THIN AIR AND WE’RE FREAKING OUT.

I’VE TRIED TO DO THIS FIVE TIMES IN MY HOUSE WITH NO SUCCESS AND ONLY MY DOGS BARKING TO SHOW FOR IT.

THIS SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE. I’M SORRY FOR THE CAPS BUT I’M KIND OF FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW. I GET THAT IT’S JUST CONTROL OVER YOUR BODY, BUT I THOUGHT “I COULD DO THIS WITH PRACTICE,” AND THE ANSWER IS “NO I CANNOT, THIS IS MAGIC.”

PROVE ME WRONG. FILM YOURSELF DOING THIS. SERIOUSLY. PLEASE. IT’S THE ONLY WAY I’LL BELIEVE THIS ISN’T THE DARK ARTS AT WORK.

I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO FEELS THIS WAY.
