Does it still look like you rise up off of the ground when you don't use a step, or do just the feet rise up? Derek Merdinyan |

You obviously cannot show the bottom of your shoe
Look at the demo video on frame 2:19, you will see what I mean. It's blatant exposure of the effect, someone should tell him.

Eilers, which is frame 2:19, what part of video are you talking about. I'm not sure how to show frame numbers,.

Even when you do this on flat ground, without a step or curb, your entire body appears to rise up off of the ground. You can be comfortably "set" to perform this from the time you leave your house until you come back home at the end of the night.

It looks like a gimmick that should actually be made by the creator or manufacturer himself, I remember the hassles I had with FFF.
A custom fit job by the person who knows the best way to construct this thing would be a real bonus when it comes to the price that is asked for this product. johnny

Eilers, what are you talking about, exposure. What do you think you see.

If you go to that frame on 2:19 and pause the video (exactly) on 2:19 you wil CLEARLY see it. I would post a pic, but I don't want expose. I figured I would just tell people.

Funny, I just don't see what you think you see. Pause on 2:19 and I must be missing it.

Its between 2:19 and 2:20 as he walks away. I can post a still pic if I'm "allowed".

I agree the effect looks awesome, and reactions are all that matters.
The exposure is at 1:10, but it's not four hundred dollars worth of material. To those of you talking about FFF, that's a completely different principle which requires cover to activate the gimmick. Enjoy

The Video is hard to see but it reaaly looks like the girl is in sandels and as well he is sandels in at least one shot. I can't imagine the price tag Makes absolutely no sense.

This is indeed more than people think it is, and in my opinion, worth the money to any serious working Magician.

Entity,

Yes the trick is still awesome. I will be picking it up for sure. I am not sure about the exposure on 1:10, I will check it out when I get home. I do know, for a fact that there is exposure on 2:19.
It's a great trick though. Not worh $400, but still great.

Yes, I know how it works. Aaron and I are good friends, and I ordered the first one.
This business about dissecting a promo video one frame at a time for clues as to the method, and then announcing any perceived "exposure" on this public forum is really nonsense. First of all, spectators don't watch a live performance one frame at a time. Secondly, if you're worried about exposure, why announce your perceived 'discoveries' publically? As far as the "value" of this effect... How doe sone place a value on a specific illusion or effect? I know for a fact that Aaron has been working on developing this effect for over ten years. He's had to source the very best materials, literally from continents away, has had the R&D to go through, has shot a promo video, an instructional DVD, has to copy and package it all professionally and create professional calibre graphics for the package and DVD case; then Hocus Pocus adds their hefty percentage on top of things. Aaron also wanted to make this reasonably exclusive, so that not every kid on the block would be doing it. All of this adds up to value for those who purchase the effect. If it doesn't seem to you to be a worthy effect, than no one is forcing you to buy it. For those who see its value, they will have a wonderful effect that includes the best materials available, with an ingenious, original method, that not every other magician in town will be doing. - entity

I enjoyed the demo. I don't care what the method is. If I was into levitations and had the money I would probally buy this.

$400 just seems high for a gimmick you have to make yourself. I will wait until someone else buys it so I can get a real, formal review.

A very nice post entity, value will be percieved quite diferently from one performer to the other. I see the value, wonderful effect and not all the magic hobbyst' will own this which is always a plus. Can't wait for it's release.
