>How is that done? 

Both  ends of a single line about 100 feet long are  attached  to 
the normal line attachment points.  In very light wind, he  grips 
the lines about 1 foot from the kite.  He is standing between the 
lines.  He then launches the kite and manipulates it by  allowing 
the  lines to slide through his hands.  He can pull in  line  and 
let  out  line at will.  This extra line allows him to  Flip  the 
Flexifoil at any time and with it flying in any direction. ie up, 
down,  sideways, etc.  When he has let out all of the  line,  the 
bite is around behind his back.  He uses this technique to create 
an  emotional  interpretation  of a  musical  selection.   He  is 
actually dancing with the kite in a very impressive ballet.
