  • levitation

A levitation illusion occurs when an illusionist appears to defy gravity by causing an object or individual to float in mid-air. The volunteer or subject may appear to levitate on their own, or with the assistance of another entity (such as a mirrored ball floating around a cloth), in which case it is referred to as a floating “suspension.”

Levitation

 

If you’ve ever seen the levitation trick performed, you’ve probably noticed something fishy. You probably noticed the magician makes the person or object he is trying to float in a bowl of water, then uses some other device such as a mirror or “bell jar” to reflect light to it. This has an effect on what spectators see because when light reflects off the objects surface, it creates the an illusion of being higher off the ground. To create such levitation illusions, a number of techniques are employed. A hidden platform or hidden wires may be used to levitate a performer or assistant, or standing on tiptoe in a way that hides the foot Is hitting the ground in smaller-scale illusions. The goal of the illusionist is to imbue in the spectator’s mind, “How is he/it floating?” The real question the skeptical spectator should be asking is, “How is the illusionist rendering the wire, cable, magnet, lift, platform, or counter-balancing weight, invisible?” Why is this a real question? Because people and objects don’t levitate!

Is Levitation Real?

No, levitation is not real.

I’ve tried to levitate for real. It does not work. The only way to levitate is to — well, the only way I’ve thought of — is to follow these steps:

How to Levitate for Real

The 3 Steps to Levitate for Real Are Listed Below.

  1. Create the largest superconductor ever created by humankind.
  2. Build a city on top of the superconductor youcreated (this step is optional)
  3. run, drive, or pogo stick into the city from either direction.

By following the above three steps to levitate for real (a formula invented by Jon Finch), you will find yourself floating above the ground with ease. The main problem with this method is you have no control over your body. To mitigate this problem, you’ll need to carry some cans of hairspray (or cans of air) and spray the air in the opposite direction of where you want to float to. All the above may seem impractical. it is. You may find it’s cheaper to buy a jetpack.


How to Levitate A Potato

by Jon Finch

The magician may “levitate” the potato by gripping the handle of the fork in his mouth, while facing the spectator. In this way, the spectator sees only a levitating potato — a potato floating several inches in front of the performer’s face. The disadvantage of this half-baked method is not feasible since the performer is unable to talk, and unable to misdirect. The job of a magician is to take something mundane, such as a potato stuck on the end of a fork; then make it look like the potato is floating. Since potatoes cannot float in air, the most effective way to achieve the illusion of the levitating potato is making the fork invisible to the spectator. But the above levitation illusion conveys the point. If the performer make the “platform” invisible to the audience, then the audience will see only the levitating object. Sorry, folks. That’s the only way to achieve levitation.

Asrah Suspension“>Asrah Suspension

The Asrah levitation is a simple levitation illusion. LEVITATION EFFECT Hypnotizing his assistant, the illusionist made him to lie down on a sofa. When the assistant is levitated under the black cloth, she will be fully covered with the black cloth. This is the form of the floating assistant is still visible. Later that same day, the assistant floated down. The performer removes the cloth and the assistant immediately disappears. Sometimes, after the Asrah Levitation, the assistant appears in a different location, frequently in the audience. This floating illusion was first performed in 1902 with Servais Le Roy’s wife as the assistant. LEVITATION METHOD, this trick uses thin wire gown Is hidden behind the couch and suspended from above using fine wires. While the assistant has taken a seat on the sofa, form quickly covers her with the sheet. Then the form is turned upside down whilst the assistant slips through the trap in the sofa. The wires used to form the cross look thin enough to be left alone. An assistant lies down and is fully dressed during Asrah levitation. After that, the assistant seems to levitate under the fabric before eventually descending. The assistant appears to have disappeared when the showman takes the cloth forward. A thin wire framework is put over the assistant at the same time as the cloth in this trick. Though the assistant remains unseen, the wire framework can be lifted. Servais Le Roy is credited with developing this illusion, which he first conducted in 1902 with his wife as an assistant.

The King’s Ascension“>The King’s Ascension

When looking at it from the floating foot, it looks like this. The performer’s legs are normally covered for a brief period of time at the start of the impact, probably by a jacket. The whole body of the artist is visible. A few inches off the stage, the artist seems to levitate. Both of the feet are clearly visible in the air. The levitation is normallya few seconds long. Remove the shoe furthest from the audience and turn the foot 90 degrees away from the audience, with the empty shoe clamped between both feet, to perform the trick. The two shoes are lifted together when the performer sits on the tip of the concealed foot, and the audience believes that these are both of the performer’s feet. The King Rising levitation is another name for this floating illusion. The King Rising Levitation is a type of levitation illusion Is sold by Ellusionist. The release of King Rising Levitation was not a turn in the history of magic. Some consider this technique to bea deviant bastard child of the Balducci levitation. EFFECT The performer is viewed from a side in this dance. The performer’s legs may be covered at the beginning of the effect. Another magical thing that the performer may say at this point is, “You must have seen other magicians levitate behind a jacket…”. This is a reference to Superman’s floating. Then they would remove their belongings. You could see the performer’s entire body during the performance. The performer appears to float several inches above the ground. Levitations are usuallya few seconds long. When both feet were grounded, the performers legs for an instant became obscured. The performer can again refer to the airborne Superman when flying. After the levitation magic is performed the stage is examined thoroughly. The greatest advantage of this levitation effect is It is spontaneous. You can practice this anywhere and anytime you wear pants and shoes. This occurrence is more credible because both legs are seen in mid-air. It can be done with the provision of privacy (an obstruction or misdirection). It is easier to observe than the Balducci levitation. METHOD The performer is standing to be viewed from side. Under these circumstances, the performer takes off his or her foot from the right shoe and positions it at the side of that shoe. With the heel of the foot placed against the left shoe’s side. After the obstruction has been removed, the performer will appear in the front. It is impossible for a spectator to distinguish whether the performer’s right or left foot is out because of concealment by right leg or left leg. Performing with leg shifting is part of Foot Suspension. The performer stands on the toes of her right foot. The foot remains hidden behind the shoes that are placed on top of both of them at the same time. Then the process is reversed. To us, it seems natural that there is a foot underneath the shoe. It is assumed that the performer is levitating when both foot are are seen above the ground. An obstruction is needed to hide the performer’s actions of removing and putting their foot back in shoes. This situation can be worked out by using misdirection.

The Flying Illusion of David Copperfield“>The Flying Illusion of David Copperfield

Since 1992, illusionist David Copperfield has performed a levitation illusion in which he appears to fly on stage for several minutes while surrounded by audience members in several magic shows. Copperfield flies acrobatically across the stage, performs a mid-air backflip, then has spinning hoops passed around him, ostensibly showing he is not suspended by wires. Copperfield then descends into a glass box with a lid and floats inside it. EFFECT During the magic trick, Copperfield performed a dangerous, acrobatic stunt, such as flying around the stage and doing a backflip on top of it. He then floats down into a glass box and cannot be seen or heard anymore. In this picture, the assistant is walking over the box and Copperfield is walking upside down. Then he gives a speech and gets a beautiful woman as a volunteer and flies with her like Superman carrying Lois Lane. Icarus periodically makes the drastic mistake of flying close to the sun. The sets are used in the vermillion backdrop in the television special. METHOD Before performance, Copperfield asserts he developed the levitation piece for seven years, and shows a video in which he explains how a number of people tried and failed to fly. The gimmick is performed in his sixteenth television special, Fires of Passion, a shortened version in 1993. The theme used different backgrounds with different music and burning spinning hoops. John Gaughan invented the process, which he described in US Patent #5,354,238. The illusion is created by a complex computer-controlled rig suspended above the stage that controls a series of wires. The top of the glass box is threaded vertically between the two sets of wires in the demonstration. In 1991, David Copperfield performed an illusion on how he flew into the air on stage during his magic shows. This flight is remarkable for its graceful motion and free appearance.

Floating Light Bulb Magic Trick

Harry Blackstone, Sr. Was known for his Floating Light Bulb magic trick illusion, in which he created and illuminated a lightbulb—allegedly designed by Thomas Edison. In Blackstone’s hands, the light bulb levitated with no apparent means of control. After that, the lamp would be extinguished and levitated into the air, where it would be re-lit before being floated out over the crowd, still lit. Following the death of Blackstone, Jr., Dutch prestidigitator Hans Klok became the custodian of the floating light bulb illusion.

Levitating Card with a Hummer

The Hummer card is an impossible levitation trick in which a normal playing card floats, hovers, turns, and flies around the magician’s body. It was founded by Bob Hummer, a genius magician.

The Floating Cigarette of Fearson

A trick in which a cigarette floats around the actor, levitating from hand to hand before floating down to the ground. As it levitates in mid-air, it floats through a ring shaped by the performer’s fingertips, showing that no external help is present, and finally levitates up in the performer’s mouth.
