Hello,
What do you think is more practical: The Wild Levitation, or Floating on the Edge(from Andrew Mayne's "Touching Sky." For FLOT(Floating on the Edge), you need st**rs to levitate. For the Wild Levitation, you don't.
What do you all think?
Thanks

I own Andrew Mayne's Pocket Levitator as well as Wild Levitation. The two effects are based on the same principle/technique but the latter uses a vastly superior gimmick. While I have not tried Mayne's Floating on Edge, I have a copy of “Touching Sky” and, based on the description (which is pretty clear), I would choose Wild Levitation without a second thought. A lot of folks frown on holding a jacket, cloth, etc., in front of you as you float, but if you're going to perform this type of self-levitation, Wild Levitation is the simplest, "cleanest" and most versatile. Not to mention that it's easy to forget you have the gimmick on and you don't need a staircase. For the money, I think WL is a good effect.

I would go with "King's Rising", you don't need to hold a jacket in front of you while floating!

I have several levitation effects and the elevator or the plain old balducci is the way to go. Wild levitation has never worked out well for me....people just don't seem to buy it....I now use the gimmicks for other effects. Go with something you don't need cover for.

I personally think that with any levitation you are not going to be completely satisfied. They all have angle problems. I like the wild levitation myself, but I do agree with the problem about having a jacket in front of you. The balducci was the classic levitation, if you don't know it, learn it. Another variation of the balducci is called Zero Gravity, it is the balducci but it is done surrounded. You have to gimmick your own pair of shoes, but it does look good when performed. I wouldn't want to wear the shoes all the time though.
