Simple Question

Approximately 10 Years ago, My Ex and I went camping with a large group of friends and that night around the campfire, my ex had a brilliant idea to Show people a "trick" he had learned somewhere, He got about 4 or 5 People together, and also picked the Largest Man in the group( who was a good 300 lbs)sat him in a simple lawn chair, he had each of us going clockwise put 1 hand each over his head palm down but above each other hand,until all the people around him had both hands (not touching that was the main part the hands could not touch each other or him, you stood there for a count of 10( no words were said) then counterclockwise the top hand was removed so on and so forth until all hands were removed.
then each person using just their 2 index fingers and middle fingers on each hand , one person was assigned to each armpit and under each knee, and amazingly enough I am not joking we lifted that 300 lb man about 2 feet in the air without any problems at all.
now I was extremely skeptical at first because of course at camp we always did "light as a feather stiff as a board" and it never worked, I am actually wondering now had we done the palms over the person the way he showed us, if it would have worked.
My question is this, has anyone else ever seen this or done this I am pretty sure I am remembering it exactly as we did it, but I might be forgetting something.

No, I haven't and trust me I've seen loads of "weird" things. I've seen this though in a movie, the Craft if I'm not mistaken. But that's just it.

It's about weight distribution, the hand's thing had nothing to do with it.

the magician ( and i use that word lightly) can do this watched him not be able to be picked up by hulk hogan. the entertainer weighed 8 stone.
