Simply put it's about balance and counter-balance. Notice how he has someone help him lean back slowly? That's because it takes lots of muscle control. What he has is a metal plate in the shoe of the leg on the ground. He's stepping on that which is his counterbalance and probably a piece can be secretly stuck into the ground like a spike. a hinged piece of metal follows up his leg & can probably be locked somehow. It's rigged and set up beforehand just like the levitation trick.
