Card Levitation - Learn to Levitate a Card

Want to learn how to do an impromptu, easy card levitation that

requires absolutely no materials?

You're in luck. Nick Bielski, a close-up performer with seven years of

experience, recently submitted his newest creation, EZ-LEV, for

distribution exclusively to subscribers of the Ellusionist.com eZine.

It's a VERY simple but VERY effective way to levitate a card - try it.

Effect:

Placing a card on his outstretched hand, the magician asks the

audience to focus on the card, and concentrate to direct their mental

energy onto the card.

After several seconds, the card begins to slowly move. It is then seen

to rise-- smoothly yet slowly -- as if the directed energy of the

spectators is causing the card to levitate.

Method:

Although VERY simple in technique (the best illusions always are), the

effect will no doubt fool audiences of all ages. However, be careful not

to overuse the effect. Before you read this description, go and get a

normal playing card.

Instructions:

- Place the middle of the card at the base of your first finger as shown

in piture 1. This position will serve as the starting/resting point for the

illusion.

- To create the illusion of the card levitating, extend the fingers

outward but leave the first finger joints in their original position. It will

now look like the card is levitating.

Practice the bend in the fingers and keeping that first joint as high in

the air as you can get it.

Think of performing this as a small flourish during one of your

routines... but you MAY get a bigger reaction than you thought you

would.

- To end the sequence, slowly close your fingers back in and hand the

card out for examination. You're left completely clean! You may think

you need to be double jointed to make it work but that's not true...

experiment and work with it - you'll see!
