Dove Levitation

Postby Nightmare » Oct 26th, '05, 00:02



Anyone know if the Dove Levitation can be used for levitating other objects up-close? The only examples I've seen are on-stage, using a Dove.

I was thinking if it can also be used up-close, and to levitate other objects such as one of those large/thick dinner candles, or a wine bottle, etc.

(I looked into Pocket Lev, but that only appeared to apply to lightweight objects)

Thanks for any input!

Nope, this one does not use invisible theads, strings, or ropes of that sort. Honestly, I don't know even know how it works, but I recall reading a review about a product that was able to achieve this (levitate heavier objects).

The closet thing I've found is the Pocket-Lev, but it only works for lightweight objects. I recently came across the Dove Levitation, but I'm not sure if it's meant for close-up tricks, or if we can use it for other objects.

If you can post a link to it we might be able to check it out and see if anyone can offer advice.

And then scroll down to "Ultimate Dove Levitation"

The picture is slightly low-quality.

basicaly, its something that the dove lays down on, which is why you cany use it for anything else. Its ugly if you ask me.
To controll the angles, you have to look so hunched up!.
