Aladdin on Broadway

[party like it's 99]

I'm sorry if someone already posted about this and I missed it but, this past weekend I saw Aladdin on Broadway and for the life of me cannot figure out how the magic carpet works! My friends and I have been discussing theories but are wondering if anyone has any further input. Thanks!

There was a video recently that was posted (Broadway.com or Playbill.com) of the flying but it didn't show "how" it was done. Just updated from the workshop version for the Broadway production. But it is flown on wires. Not sure if it's ZFX or Foy that does the flying in that show but I've worked with both companies in the part. It's a simple concept but takes a LOT of rehearsal to get it perfect.
