Hi, I have been hearing a lot about this effect and wanted to know if someone could actually lead me to a demo of this effect being that I havent seen it performed. I think I have been tipped to the method but I cant possibly tie what I did see to what I heard. Any descriptions or possible video clips would be of help.

Thanks
Steve

Couple of things, first off, why would someone give a video to expose a secret? Second please use the search funtion as there are MUCHO topics on this.
Thanks
Adam

I don't think he was asking for a video of the secret, just of the performance. In this case the search function is your friend, but I beleive a quick search at http://www.youtube.com or http://www.hocus-pocus.com will give you the video you are looking for.

Steve,

if you like a demo of the famous illusion, go here. It's pretty amazing.

The levitation does look amazing. not as natural as icarus though.

Sorry if this has been asked before, I did search but could not find the answer.

In order to do these levitations does the performer need to always wear the same Pants and sneekers?
Or once the 'magic bit' has been built can it be used in whatever clothing you happen to be wearing for that day?

Many thanks

I have a friend with the DVD and it is not as good as Icarus. There is a lot of building which is not eazy. I would go with icarus if I had a choice.

Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't the owners of the Icarus also have to put it together? I was once stated that you would have to also do some tailoring and putting things together. If anyone has Icarus they can confirm it or not.

Both gimmicks have to be custom fitted to each performer. The differenc is that Icarus Effect comes bundled with all of the necessary parts to construct the gimmick (minus a few things you probably have lying around), whereas Angel's levitation is just a DVD. To construct Angel's levitation, you have to find and buy all of the parts yourself, plus there are other things to be created with Angel's. In Icarus' case you don't have to "create" what Angel's has you create, Icarus allows you to modify something. Most people seem to be of the mind that, although seemingly more expensive (All things considered they are about equal), Icarus is the better buy.

Troller, the multitude of topics about Icarus will be more than able to answer your questions, just do a search.

The post on Icarus Effect are so numerous and wide spread and full of off topic subject matter, who the heck has the time to peruse through all that information. It would have been simpler to just answer the question here for all to see.

But I think you did answer it in that little post you did write. Thanks for sharing.

I'm not sure why people are dissing the angel levitation when you haven't even built it...watching a dvd isn't a review of the gimmick. and you can't say it's crap just because you might be too lazy to find materials and construct it.
