In my opinion the levitation looks really bad and very mechanical. The turning in the air adds nothing, and sort of gives away that he is pivoting on something. For $1,600 I'd stick to the balducci - it's the same effect.

While it might look good to you, but I don't feel people will actually think you levitated. They will no doubt want to see your shoes afterwards, and even if you show them it's still quite obviously a machine of some sort. When people think about how you could have levitated, mechanical gimmickry is often their solution - here you are using a method which is exactly what they will think of. So there is nothing magical here at all.

i always thought if someone could levitate for real there would be a bit of shakyness in the air, this looks like he is so static it looks dead fake

Not to mention that I wouldn't be seen dead wearing shoes that looked like that!

This got a severe bashing on Go Magic Go last week, 15 minutes of hilarious criticism. Have a listen it's good.

bronz cheers for that, I laughed myself silly.
If anyone else wants to listen, its towards the end of episode 69 at http://thetrapdoor.libsyn.com/
its well worth having the sales pitch open to one side as you listen.

If I was force to choose FLY and Criss Angels. Then I would roll up my sleeves and built Criss Angels levitation. Rather to do all the pain to get the stuff and build the Criss lev, insteed buy some hype 2-3 inch lev as FLY. Really, it dosnt even look as a lev. more than a reveal of the balducci lev, if you get my point.
