The floor is tilted towards the camera like 15-20 degrees, and the camera is in plane with the floor, theres a glass cleverly placed in the line between the tiles 90 degrees to the floor. (so its tilted towards the camera.) The letters are rubbery/sticky so they dont slide down easily. And the letters B, L and E are pressed towards the glass (you can sort of see him doing this, if you look closely.) It's very cleverly and smoothly done and all credit to him for making this fantastic illusion.
