Question: AMAZING! but how!?!?!?
So I went and saw a play today and things came on and off stage!.!.!.how!? like no one pushing them!.!.!.are there big magnets underneath the stage!? string!? how DO they do it!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
they use superconducting magnets which are powerful and can leviate in bigger things!. it is mostly stings of thin steel in playsWww@QuestionHome@Com

Usually, they have people behind pushing it; sets are always on a track or on wheels!. So basically, there were crew members behind the set items pushing it off stage!. Hope I helped!.??Www@QuestionHome@Com

What show did you see!? Some shows (ie "Beauty and the Beast") used tracks under and above the stage to move items without crew!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sometimes there is a track set in the stage and the piece of scenery is moved by wires, sometimes it is done by remote control!. That's the magic of theatre!Www@QuestionHome@Com
