Are you sure "levitating" and not "suspension?"

It sounds like you're looking for a Chair Suspension Illusion, but don't know the name of the trick / illusion. I suggest doing some research on the Magic Café (searching for and reading old threads), and learning a lot more about the prop, where to buy eBooks that teach handling, etc. before making any purchases.
I know there are threads in the Grand Illusion area as well as The Little Darlings area. - Donald

There are other people who make them, besides MAK.
That's why I suggested reading other threads (here's a link to one to get you started). Do your research to find out what different performers say about the different props. Jim Sommers, who was famous for making pack-down illusions (and well known for his version of the Chair Suspension), passed away in August 2018. So, you could find a used version of his chair suspension. (Jim Sommers' Illusions used to be sold through Klamm Magic, but Bob Klamm passed away in the summer of 2014.) http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......forum=36 http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......forum=36 Abbott Magic sells their own version of the chair suspension, as well as the MAK versions (standard and deluxe). https://www.abbottmagic.com/Abbott-Chair......rsus.htm Also, Jay Leslie builds the chair suspension. Sold through his company, House of Enchantment. Again, two versions. https://www.thehouseofenchantment.com/pr......y/stage/ Also, Bill Smith Magic Ventures builds them (although, maybe not listed on the website). Known as a very high end product. Used by Penn and Teller, etc. Shown on one of the threads I linked to above. http://www.magicventures.com/ - Donald

The reason I mentioned about Jim Sommers and Klamm Magic, is that you might find them mentioned on older threads about the chair suspension, when you're doing your research. I also wanted to provide some info in case you did a internet search, but couldn't find a current website for this "brand" of chair suspension. - Donald

You might consider my COI. It is a lot cheaper, and more effective IMHO! JR
