if anyone knows please tell me. thanks

no one is just going to tell you. if you dont know, buy some books or dvds on the subject.

Quite a question for a "Master Magician"...nice try though!

willy your a master magician get some thread and work it out for yourself, but a few tips for you anyway.

rope is too thick for this effect.
control is the key listen hard.
if your thinking its fishing line your way off base.
the biggest secret to this type of effect is organic anchor points.

or why not cheat the inventors and look it up on the net.

1). Stick a rope to the roof with silver tape and use some more of this to stick the other end of the rope to the card.

2.) Turn off the lights and tell your friends the card is floating but you have to attach it with a rope because she (the card) is sleeping now.

Hope this helps.

Can I have all the food out of your cupboard, as I don't want to go and pay for them myself. Once you realise this is what you are trying to do, we will take you seriously.

Up till then, look in the sky. See if you can see a UFO or helicoptor. Some people use these. Otherwise, try training your cards. Give them a good rub down with sandpaper and bleach. They will then do anything you want.

One word SINBIN

Directly from the revealing pages of Mallusionist.com, here is the secret of IT revealed:

IT has been a magic mainstay since its discovery in the 1960s by a group of scientists doing research for NASA. It is a monofilament too thin to be seen by the human eye, but so strong that it can not be broken except for under the most extreme conditions. IT is, in fact, so thin that it can slip between the molecules of any other substance, cutting through steel as easily as through butter. (Note: a professional magician will never use IT to cut butter, although mysteriously carving a Thanksgiving turkey is not out of the question.)

IT is sold on spools, and one spool will last a magician a lifetime. Because of its dangerous nature, IT may be purchased only with a prescription.

There are, quite literally, billions of uses for IT, documented in books such as the classic Why You Must Fear IT. Perhaps the most famous use is the Levitating Assistant routine, in which the magician's assistant is put into a trance (necessary because working so near an invisible substance that can casually decapitate you makes most people very nervous) and floats into the air.

The method for this trick is almost laughably simple. The assistant lies down on a thick, iron-alloy table that has been painted black (so that the audience can't see it) and has a length of IT wound around it and the rafters overhead. The thread is not tied to the table because it is nearly impossible to tie a knot in IT without the use of a tunneling electron microscope.

With the assistant in place, the magician pulls very, very, very carefully on the spool of thread hidden in one hand, and the assistant is lifted into the air. Caution must be used, because a sharp tug could very easily turn this into an "assistant sawed in half" routine.

If the magician wants to pass a metal hoop around the assistant to "show that there are no wires," this is also easily done. The IT will pass right through a metal hoop. The magician must be careful, however, not to pass the hoop over the floating assistant a second time, because if the IT does not cut through the hoop in exactly the same position on the second pass, it will effectively cut a chunk out of the hoop. A new hoop is needed for each performance -- cuts at the subatomic level can not be repaired.

It is interesting to note that many companies will not provide health or accident insurance to magicians who use IT.
