Your thoughts? Anyone considering purchasing this?

Well, wait to you see my Hitler levitation. It's not the whole body, just one arm that goes up and down.

I hope that you're not claiming that it's an original Lord Freddie as I hear that it was extensively marketed internationally during the early part of the last century

I've modified it. Some slight 'improvements' have been made which make it so different that it's my own. There's no armband.

If anyone wants to review it I'll send them the PDF.

Ah, no armband - you should have said!

Does that mean the secret is now in the moustache or is it too revealing to ask this question?

Also, before I buy this, does it have to be performed in calf height leather boots?

There is a gimmick, as such, and yes, it is small, black and furry. The boots add to the illusion but are not essential. You just need a glamorous, blonde, fraulien assistant and a good fringe to pull it off well.

I'm sorry Michael, it looks like another variation to the Balducci.

Why you young guys think this is such a cool gag I'll never know... maybe I'm just jaded in my old age... I'm used to actually floating people a dozen feet of better into the air, not tip toeing through the bloody tulips

Balducci? I don't see where the Balducci technique could be used? The feet ae seoerated and the angles are quite good.

A VARIATION of the balducci technique. Which it undoubtably is, and from the looks of it, a pretty impracticle one. Unless of course you do actually float?

There is some kind of gimmick, and it allows a near 200 degree angle view possibility. It can be adjusted to go as high as 8 inches (The highest levi yet) and the gimmick only takes 30 seconds to set up. Sounds good to me!

So you can stand behind the person levitating?

I may be wrong, but I doubt it can go as big as 8 inches

And again, I cant imagine this being at all practical in any way. But if you like the sound of it, then by all means buy it and let us know how disapointed you are.

LOL I will be buying it soon and will provide an honest review. And yes, you can stand behind the person.

If it was as good as it sounds, do you think it will be sold for the price it is?
Even the slightly impractical Kriss Angel levitation sells for a lot more.

Seriously though Mike, I would save your money. I have looked again at the video, and it is misleading.
Dont forget, for that price, you almost certainly will have to make the gimmick yourself. Effects on video are more angle proof than in real situations.
Also, think about what situations you will want to use this in.
Is this suitable for stage shows where you are elevated, 'impromtu' performances (do you expect to be able to carry it at all times on your person).
If you think you can be surrounded whilst doing it, what do you realistically expect for £15?
I dont know all the answers, but can have a pretty good guess. And dont forget, all magic advertisements promise the moon on a stick, but hey its your pocket money.

Hmm.. Thank you for that, I will definitely have to think about it now. I will look around for reviews before making a decision.
