subject: Levitation Tricks [print this page] Levitation is the process by which an object is suspended by a physical force against gravity. This object being levitated is in a stable position without any physical contact from an outside source. There have been several different techniques developed to levitate matter. Such techniques are magnetic, acoustic, aerodynamic, electromagnetic, electrostatic, gas film, and optical methods. Levitation in magic tricks have proved to provide fun and exciting entertainment to spectators leaving many up to question on how such performance was performed.
When a lightweight object is levitated you can do many tricks with that object such as:
Have it float as if it was zero gravity
Spin upwards, downwards, sideways in midair
Act like you are pushing it away or to you without even touching it
Use any kind of lightweight object
Flick it and come back to you
Make food fly from your dinner plate to your mouth
Pick up anything you would like
Imagine being able to borrow a coin, a bill, a credit card, a pen and float it right there on the spot in front of anyone! How incredible does that sound? All of these tricks can be performed with a product called "The Levitator". Doing a magic show using levitation will stun your friends. They will not know how you did it and will be amazed. Be sure to always practice your tricks before doing any live show amongst your friends and to never give away your secrets. While practicing you will also be able to try out the levitation on new objects.
