oh... coincidently... the effect is awesome if done correctly in a slightly noise location

i would second that, i did it on the train station the other day and people were absolutely amazed, and really believed that i had magical powers.

fantastic

funny that... i was thinking of a train station when i typed it... spooky huh?....lol

maybe a little bit of mentalism there then lol!

i think that that is the truly magical part of the trick, you can do it any time with out the need for extra props

i wouldnt go as far as anytime but we get the point...lol

you know what i mean lol

Found this to be a great trick. However make sure that you use Coke cans as they do work best, as i have found to my expense

Going back to an earlier part of this thread - giving away secrets - does anyone else feel the same as I do that items such as Healed & Sealed shouldn't be sold ‘second hand’ on to others via this (or any other) forum?

If you buy tricks which come with props & stuff then selling them on means you probably can't carry on doing them. OK, many can be done by making your own stuff but bear with me!

Selling 'secrets' only things like Healed & Sealed is a bit naughty and all you need is a memory (or a photocopier). The inventors and suppliers all lose out which will eventually mean less choice and new stuff for us all. Please think about it hard before making a quick buck at someone else’s expense.....

I agree, a very valid point. However apart from those posts that give away the trick being removed there is very little you can do. especially as this information is probably available elsewhere on the Web, which is how i found out about the Balducci Levitation

good point!

Jabba makes a good point - some berk will always screw things up for the rest of us! However, if we make sure we don't do it here then there is just that much less chance of others discovering secrets - and bear in mind that many of these secrets are used to provide the only source of income for many performers.

The levitation thing and many others just like it have been 'public' knowledge for many years. I understand that the spoon bending process used by a certain Mr.U.Geller was printed on the back of cereal packets in the USA many years ago and was intended for the amusement of little kiddiewinks only!

I am new in magics.
How can I learn about doing this trick?
Thank you
