Title: This man possessed a special ability to increase height by 7.5" instantly

Clarence E Willard (1882 – July 31, 1962) was an American vaudeville performer. After carrying out stretching exercises, Willard found he was able to increase his height at will by 7+1⁄2 inches (19 cm) and also elongate his arms and legs.

Quote
Clarence Willard found that he was able to increase his height by carrying out certain exercises. The nature of these is unclear, the 1978 Guinness Book of World Records stating it was through "constant practice in muscular manipulation of the vertebrae" while Willard told a 1958 Society of American Magicians meeting that by carrying out stretching exercises, he could separate his hip bones and ribs.[3][4] He found that through these means he could add 7+1⁄2 inches (19 cm) to his natural height of 5 feet 9+3⁄4 inches (177 cm); he was also able to extend the length of his arms by 8–15 inches (20–38 cm) and make one leg 4 inches (10 cm) longer than the other.[5]

Quote
Willard's was described as the best of a number of elongation freak show acts of the period.[6] He used no trickery in his act and the elongation achieved was real, though he sometimes used optical illusions to enhance the effect.[4] Part of his act was to call out for a volunteer from the audience to stand next to him while he would increase in height.

Another bizarre sh-tpost. Why do you keep changing your username, TSF2025 (that was your previous username)?

So what. Do you know the trick he did to share it with us?
Or do you believe that someone could become permanently taller for inches with tricks like that and not LL?

It could be true!  But he also probably had some undiagnosed condition that allowed him to detach his joints or something.  Cool 30 second read, useless for height gain.  ;)

The wiki article says itself: "Clarence Willard found that he was able to increase his height by carrying out certain exercises. The nature of these is unclear"

In the YouTube video, Clarence is introduced at 4:30 and demonstrates his growth ability at 4:45. He temporarily "grows" 2 to 3 inches because he is slowly tip toeing. Notice the camera does not show his lower ankle and feet, and when he "grows", his pants are also going upward.

Just pure bulls-it.

It says everything. You just need to read it.

Let's say that I'm trying to find out.

So it didn't say. But why are you being so ignorant calling it straight bull ? Something is not bull  just because you don't know.

That "x ray" only showed his neck in a normal and a stretched position.
Nothing that could explain 7.5 inches of added height.

I truly believe that all this was a trick like many that magicians do. Nothing real and nothing that could help any future LLer.

Why would you need to close this thread? If you don't like it, just don't click it?

Or do you feel bothered by the possibility of other height increase methods?

It’s not even a method to increase your height.
If you really have a method to increase your height without survey and with a real proof than post it
But don’t post such dumb bs

This forum has too many dumb posts like this that just take up space. Posts like this and incel posts need to be addressed more strictly by mods.

Ya this forum is way to lax on what content is allowed, it’s getting both embarrassing and frustrating.
