Ok I searched for levitation tricks and all that was on here was balduchi and some kid who thought he could float with his mind powers.
The three ways of levitation i know of are:
The balduchi levitation
King riseing
Criss angels method
Balduchie: Im not going to go over this because there are already two eggs in the directory about this.
King riseing
this is a fairly good levitation if you have strong ankles. Plus it can be viewed from the side.
Method:
Face your audiance which should be 2-3 people or someone will see what you are doing. Turn sideways. Then slip the shoe off that is farthest from the people you are doing it to. Dont let them see you takeing your shoe off. Now put the foot that you took out of the shoe and use it to squeeze the empty shoe against the shoe that has your foot in it. Apply more pressure to make it look more real. Now while still applying pressure go up on the toes of the foot that is squeezeing the shoes together. Your audiance will see both feet go off the ground. If you don’t understand my explanation the link is herehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Rising_Levitation
Criss Angels method:
Ok this trick involves a rig that is slightly hard to make. The link to the vid were Criss gives you an exsposed angle of it is http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6616406655978150142&q=criss+angel+levitation+secret
But if your internet is slow and you can’t play vids i will explain it.
Basically all it is, is cutting a slot in your pants and then sticking your leg out onto something then pusing up and it looks like your floating.
Building the rig:
Ok you’ll need a pair of really black pants and some sneakers (also black) that you are going to cut up.
First: Take the black pants and cut a slit over the leg that you are going to use to push up. Now put some velcrow on the edge of the cut so you can close the cut so it doesn’t look like you really have it there.
Second:
Take your pair of black sneakers and tape 2 really strong magnets in each one so they stick together. Now cut off al the stuff from the shoe exsep the plastic part at the bottom that u stand on and about 1 inch of fabric.
Third:
Sew the inch of fabric from the shoes to the bottoms of your pants.
Now all you have to do is present.
Presentation.
Hav your pants on (obviously) and wear black socks. Slide your feet onto the soles of the shoes. Black sock with the soles of your shoes makes it so you cant tell the shoe is cut. Now stand in front of a chair turn around and say something to your audience like watch. Put your feet together so the magnets activate and open the velcrow so the slot in your pants is showing. Take your legg out and plant it on the chair. Push down with the foot that is still in the shoe while pulling up with the foot that is on the chair. You will go up onto the chair and then slip your foot back into the slot and velcrow it up.
this will look amazeing.
In my prfile i put 2 vids of me doing it but there really short and blurry.
I hope you enjoy levitateing
