The kickstarter project kind of defeats itself, as the project would become more popular than the myth (if it isn't already).

So, is the staircase thing real or is it a myth?  The first video suggests that it is real.  If not, it is very clever camera tricks and editing.  The second video seems to illustrate that its a myth.

So if its real, I wanna know "how'd they do that?"

Yes, it's a trick. The trick is convincing you that it's real. :)

I watched it again and I realize how it is done.  As I suspected.  But it is very cleverly put together I will say.  Some real editing talent went into making this video.
