i just got this trick yesterday,i was out all day so i took instructions with me to read.i got home about 4 and quickly unwrapped it.as i already knew what it was i wasn't disappointed as most would be.within minutes i had a wobbly levitation.i knew i had my work cut out,and still have a lot to do yet.by midnight i was watching the cd that came with it,a lot of good pointers that i missed in my excited haste,when reading it.
by this morning the whole family was doing it,my 4 yr old and 8 yr old too!
this is a trick,that if you aren't committed,then its gonna be hard,keep at it! now a day later i am turning while levitating:o),but still a long way off perfection yet.
my review of this trick is,the effect is great,like any good trick you have to practice..a lot,but the end effect is worth the wait and work!
skill level,i'd say an easy 3/4,but like the trick says,it stops everyone from doing it.
angles,only a few you have to watch,but every one can be covered if need be.
there is even a patter for when you first start out.
a five star trick,well made.

Thanks for all that, you might want to have a look at

for further details and opinions.

I'd agree that it is well made, but for me unless you have near perfect conditions there are just too many things to go wrong. For example make sure you get the right lighting as you certainly don't need a certain shadow, kinda baggy trousers are helpful as well and a real good sense of balance. If you get everything right it can be very very powerful, but getting it all right all of the time is very very hard.

I've had this for a while and think it is brilliant. I agree with H.T. that it's not suitable for all situations, but is devasting in the right environment.

You definately want to follow the rules of magic here - don't tell them in advance what you're going to do and I would say definately do not repeat it. If you do this when it is not expected, then walk on and do something else, this really will leave your audience in a state of shock!
