I was thinking about getting John Kennedy's floating bill and I was wondering if anyone out there has done this. Also what type of reaction do you get from the audience. Thanks

At the bottom line, it's a great floating bill. But I don't like the effect regardless of whose method you use because to laymen there's only one possible explanation for how it works, and it's the correct conclusion. Just my opinion, and if you're still interested in performing the effect, John's is great.

Think of him what you like, but if you read Michael Ammar's essay on the floating bill in Aspen Bar Magic, there is a LOT to learn and adopt, whatever method you use.
Most of us are very involved with how to make a bill float. Now this is one trick where the right psychology is maybe even more important, than what thread to use and where to hook up... And also important: To know where and when to perform it!

I've used the Kennedy floating bill. You have the read the Michael Ammar notes on the correct way to present it. It will make a world of difference on how your audience will react. Look out for the light and how it reflects off the IT, trial and error is the way I learned. I found that if the lighting is not right, don't do it!! No matter how much you want to!! Over all the effects plays big but it has its limitations. Good luck!

Where can I find Michael Ammar's notes on IT? I want to learn as much as possable before even trying to perfom this effect for an audience.
