film crew captures a levitation by an african shaman.

Hi,
This video seems credible. Here are my two cents:
The circle of fire is about 10-12 feet in diameter (assuming the shaman is 5-6 ft tall). You can see 5 feet more of the surrounding area when the 2nd cameraman comes for closeup. That makes for a total length requirement of 15-18 ft. The only way he could have been raised using a pulley would be to stretch 15-18 ft long cables overhead and attach them through a pulley to him. Then again, this is a public function (you can hear natives singing in the background). They would have seen.

If he had been raised using a pulley, why did they stop at the short height of roughly 3 ft? Why not lift him really high, say 6 ft ?

His body does not hang like it would have if hung from an overhead support. It slants to the sides many times.

Would you believe if somebody claims to be a live conductor of electric current? He can light bulbs, run hotplates,....see it here:
