Andl,

I have already applied for a patented improvement on your rather weak levitation. Everyone knows IT is never completely invisible, and who wants to do the David Blaine effect INDOORS! Mine revolves around swallowing large quantities of helium gas. Until I get that voice problem ironed out you will have to do it as a silent act. Smile

Or if you already have that type of voice I think it is a winner. But then what about the brain cells. You need those so you can remember how you did it.

See this is where magic always turns foolish you DO NOT use helium, the voice would give it away. You use HYDROGEN, it has never been known to cause any problems (The hindenburg problem was caused by aliens).

Now I'm gonna tip the gaff here, so no flames please. Water is hydrogen (lighter than air)and oxygen(invisible): so obviously if you inhale enough water you can float. So please do not try the hanging thing, that makes no sense at all.

Anyone who disagrees with me is an alien, and aught to be ashamed for the Hindenburg thing, and Roswell for that matter.
Magic is doing improbable things with odd items that, under normal circumstances, would be unnessecary and quite often undesirable.

Okay so we may not be able to float but why shouldn't people be able to try and find other ways of doing a levitation. If you kill all the creative thinking by saying it can't be done that has got to be the best way of having no progress what so ever.
I really believe that there are some extremely creative minds around and I do believe other ways of doing a levitation are going to be found, not by the person who started this thread maybe but someone who is determed and is willing to keep trying after a couple of hundred idears that didn't work very well.

Please people keep coming up with new idears it's whats going to make staying in magic great. I admit that there is so much out there to learn that I'll never know it all. There's just no time in a life time but I do believe people will create new things which are going to be unbelievably good! its whats magic is about isn't it??!!!!

just my couple of euro's

Okay,
I really hate to tip this method but you forced me to do it. Stand in front of a brick building. Paint this pattern on you bare legs. Staple a pair of shoes to your cuffs and slowly and mysteriously lift your pant legs. The illusion is perfect. You will not only appear to be floating in air, but you will be getting shorter at the same time.

Here is the most reliable method. Get a can of chrome spray from a hobby shop. Spray your feet and ankles chrome (or you could just wrap them in aluminum foil). Cut a hole in both your shoes where the heels are. Push your feet through the holes so that the shoes are sitting in a natural position but round your ankles just above the ankle bone. Because the chrome acts like mirrors it looks like you're walking about 3 - 4 inches above the ground. This also has the benefit that it can be done surrounded. The only drawback is coming back to earth by pushing your shoes off your ankles back onto your feet. It looks like you have to physically push yourself back down to the ground - hey maybe that adds to the effect!

After regaining my ability to hear after 20 years of deafness. I learned that there is magic all around you. The simplest sounds that amazed me you probably ignore. Look and listen around you right now. You'll find something you didn't notice before.

I saw Clint Eastwood do this very effect in a movie...only the IT wasn't very "I" and had a lot of knots tied at the business end. He then did a "lecture tour" and taught several others the effect, only they weren't too successful at it.

If you want to see it, the movie is called "Hang 'Em High"...available at your local Blockbuster.

I like your method Kinesis... but may I suggest a little detail so it seems even more magical? What about twisting your shoes around your anckles in oposite directions so it seems like you have also the ability to twist your feet around your legs...? To my opinion it would be lot more magical than simply flote like everyone else. Please send me your thoughts about it.

Words about self levitation are frustation, deception and break of promise. After receiving is Balduci video's, a friend of mine was so frustated about the price and the method that he start to levitate without any mean of support...just joking, but he was really mad at the method and the (rip off) price.
But don't discourage because Fearson, Jaxon or the like are on the way to some kinds of solutions in a near future.

Many years ago I witnessed Fearson levitating over 6 feet in the air during a Desert Magic Seminar contest in Las Vegas. He was up above everyone's heads, horizontally.. looking down at us.

Anyone else see that?
