Here's a video of an effect I came up with quite a while back. I hadn't seen anything similar to it until my good friend Bill Citino began telling me about a project where he was doing something similar with two hands. After a short online session with him last night, I decided to post my efforts on YouTube to get feedback from you all to see if it resembles any existing effect. The levitation is self contained and can lift a cell phone, a pack of cards, or something as small as a borrowed coin. No strings or magnets and you can begin AND end clean(thanks to Bill for the suggestion on how to clean up). Any thoughts, comments, critiques welcome....Happy New Year!!!!!

E, Amazing! I like the height of this with the coin. Are the angles tight? Hey man, you just keep doing it and doing it. If you and Bill are putting your heads together, then watch out! -MB
Hey Rannie, I PM'd you (and email)???

Looks really nice, however years ago I remember seeing something just like that in effect, I just can't remember who or what the name of it was. I am sure the method is different, I do remember the method since I was working at a magic shop at the time. If you are interested in the method of the version I saw years ago to make sure that it is not the same feel free to pm me.

Sickmagic, thanks for the PM. That shed quite a bit of light on the subject.

When you find out what it is let me know, I have been looking for it for years. I even contacted the old magic shop I worked at and they didn't remember the name either...

Can you take your hand away and leave the object floating there? Otherwise it looks like you have something sticking between your fingers.

Jonathan,
I wish I knew what you mean; I believe that is the effect right there and it is the way it is. Can you take your hand away and leave the object floating there? as you know there are hundreds of effect where you can do just that, but this is the way this one is, and it looks great. Thanks for the vid, Eric. it is hoooot. Mano. |

I've had way too many grabby kids and even more nearsighted folks who could no see a half inch suspension...
but if you have a sharp eyed audience.... it looks impressive. the prop management looks good. I wonder if this would work with a second coin in hand to act as base for the liftoff and then replace ...
