Lol... the edits were hysterical! This looks like a variation (or rip off) of that self contained suspension Bob Brown and Brenda did years ago.

For Lou's eyes only:

The bathroom gives it a nice underproduced look... kind of like Street Magic in your very own apartment.

Hi Lou,

This suspension is made by my friend Ketfie the amazy. He is very talented performer and very creative magician. It's totally different than yogamo la madrid eventhough the effect is same.

It's pratical illusion compare with yogano but still you have to practice. He is not ripp off anyone because he find this method himself.

It is good illusion

Two comments. First, it was suggested that "the late Bob Brown" designed this illusion. Bob Brown is up in years, and was recently hospitalized, but he is still alive today.

Second, while Bob did perform this suspension with his assistant Brenda Saxon for a time, he did not design or invent it. He's a man of many talents (a GREAT insurance salesman) but he has never really taken an interest in creating magic. But more importantly, this kind of suspension goes way back to many years ago. I have a photo of it being done by Winston Freer and somewhere in the back of my mind I have the impression that he created it. However, don't take that as gospel... I may be wrong. My friend Mary Mowder told me that Bob bought the suspension but she doesn't know who sold it to him.

You can ask Lee Jei Min from South Korea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9lSzlx_QaY ( on 2:16- 2:21 sec.) He even perform this effect on FISM : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_DmVqiLjCE&NR=1&feature=endscreen (3:10 - 3:35 sec.). He use another method than Yogano. Thanks,Sergey.

There are a few methods for the same effect in the Encyclopedia of Suspensions and Levitations by Bruce Armstrong.

This is goin’ back some many moons... (Hehehe) the 'Siros' suspension will be a foreran concept to most and though a 'variation' the principles remain.

This indeed was a suspension designed by the late great Winston Freer. An amazing talent who is often overlooked in this day and age of street magic. Did you know he invented a way to do linking rings with no key ring? And did so as a kid. He fryed his local magic club with it.

Ormond McGill created an amazing routine with no 'key' for 90% of his routine and then 'secretly' (VERY Clever) added the key and did his finale' that blew everyone away. It was a stunning sight to see. - I love our industry!

That's also been done years ago by Bill Siros in Houston. I'm in touch with his granddaughter, relating some information and stories passed down over the years.

Bill Palmer might have more info.
