go here for the pic http://www.tilfordillusions.com/broomSuspension2.html
sorry they didn't let me cut & paste

And here is how it works
The assistant is wearing a body harness which has a joining point under the armpit. This joint hooks into a coupling which is hidden in the broom bristles. The broom is specially manufactured and is actually made of metal, but painted to resemble wood. A ratchet at the point of connection allows for the suspended position by letting the assistant's feet to be moved upwards while still holding the assistant's torso firmly in place at the armpit.
A platform with holes drilled for the two brooms are needed. When the assistant is getting his or her arms over the broom bristles, the assistant will engage the joining points into the ratchet. All the paraphernalia is hidden during there positioning of the assistant onto the brooms by the flowing clothes worn by the assistant. Once in place, neither the stool nor the second broom are needed, but the audience does not know this fact. When the stool is taken away, the assistant is in the air, maintained by the joining point. Then the second broom is moved away.

Because the joining point is a ratchet, the performer merely has to bring the assistant up to the desired angle, the ratchet will lock into place. Then the hoop is passed over the assistant without any sort of magical assistance. Once the trick is complete, the performer

Points to remember: The secret is the ratchet type of mechanism is available from most equipment suppliers. It must be a silent one however, or the audience will hear it clicking into and out of position. The fake broom will be very heavy because it is made of metal. Remember not to let the extra weight show in the way the broom is carried or handled on the stage. The body harness must be made to fit into the broom mechanism very easily. The harness is worn by the assistant under his or her clothing. It is this harness which holds the pin under the assistant's armpit. (the pin which engages the broomstick). This illusion was a mainstay of the modern performer until the early nineteen twenties. It may still be seen in some traveling sideshows.

there you go
