Ahh, but a good magician doesn't reveal his tricks, but I basicly just placed it on the bike and took some quick shots :)

So fun. But he can't reach the pedals!

Nicholas Hendrickx said (22 Aug 2007):
In some photos it's dead, but in most it is alive
That's what makes it so interesting to do :)
It's really alive in this one, I wouldn't see the point of lying,
besides, a dead fly can't hold onto objects, such as this bike
it would simply fall off
thanks for the comment! :) -
