Seeing as how I don't have to time right now to work on what we spoke about. I just might pick this up. I really would like to add a self levi to my rep and yours is the best offering I have seen so far. |

To a lot of magicians and specs self levitation is one of the greats effect to achieve. It's a dream an amazing dream. A true display of magical power. Its like the fountain of youth to a person on there death bed. |

Quick question guys...can this be done on a stage where a large audience can see under my feet? (assuming I have an appropriate rug or surface underneath)

No its not. Its a shoe with a square hole in it, a square block that goes into the hole. So basically you walk around with a square block under your heel (Ouch, Clack, Click, Ouch is what it sounds like
 ). When you do the levi, I extend my right arm which pulls on a rope system that runs down my shirt and pants, and in turn pulls up the heel of the shoe leaving me suspended uncomfortably in mid air for about oh, .75 seconds

Hey, I'm really interested in buying this effect and have read through all 21 pages of this thread. Before I buy I'd really like to know more about the modifications required for the shoe. I wear expensive boots when I'm performing and am not keen on damaging these, could anyone allude to what kind of mods I'd need to do?
I'm also aware one method requires no modification but I assume if other methods are supplied, then this isn't the best route, does anyone have any thoughts on this? Is it as stable, can it be set for a long period of time in this position? My other concern is having to wear a shirt or jacket. My jacket is tight fitting, though if it's hot I'll perform in an untucked t-shirt. Any help on these points would be greatly appreciated before I part with my hard earned. |

Hi if you live in the uk I'll sell you mine for cheaper as I have two ones because my brother didn't like his.
All the best ps. The ONE levitation doesn't have balancing issues and the modification of the shoe is very small don't worry. Brooks |

Jimmy Finger's Magellen gets my overall vote. Ease and setup have to factor in or who wouldn't want to float off the Lexus.

Some effects are under valued by magicians because they know the secret and can't put themselves in the minds of the spectator, while other methods seem to be so clever & impressive to magicians they miss that audiences might either go so what or are so sure they know the secret they fail to be impressed. I think Magellen could fall into the latter, if you could move the cloth away from your leg then you would have something truly fantastic on our hands but as it is I couldn't justify the purchase. If it was nearer $500 then I'd seriously be considering it. Can't wait for the One to arrive and each day I'm cursing the slow international postal services. |
