British actress Rachel Weisz stars in the new Sam Raimi movie Oz the Great and Powerful, where she plays a witch and can be seen flying in the movie. Rachel says that being in a harness and flying is pretty cool, although there is always that fear of the harness breaking.

Weisz told the Daily Express, "I can fly and I can shoot lightning bolts out of my fingers, it's like being a child. Although the first time I flew, it was pretty scary. Your mind messes with you and you think, 'If this harness fails, I'll die.' So you just have to put your trust in these incredible stunt guys."
Rachel then admitted that she tried to convince her son that she was actually flying, although he is clearly not easily fooled, "I told him that I was really flying and he said, 'No you're not - it's a trick', he's pretty savvy but he's not really that interested in my work - he prefers his Lego."
