Floating a Bottle / Glass

Postby tfeller » Aug 15th, '07, 20:40



I want to float a bottle or glass but cannot figure out how...

Can someone point me to a resource or gimmick?

I tried loops and IT (too fragile).

This would be for closeup work...

I have asked them for a little more detail on the product...

What I am looking for is to walk up to a table, pick up someones bottle and float it.

Universal Floatation Gimmick? Cost is around $5.00 You will have to watch your angles, though.

Can someone PM me the link as well....and if someone out their owns it I wouldn't mind PMing them some questions about it (not revealing more about when and where they use it and if they think it would work in the venue I am looking at)...thanking you in advance!

I just finished baning around on google and didn't come up with a single thing that had any releveance to the bottle/glass levitation....what am I missing here?

I have a trick named, "Airborne Glass" where you pour liquid from a bottle/can into a glass. As you hold both the glass and can in the air, as you pour the liquid, you can let go of the glass and is looks like it is floating in mid air.

You may get somewhere if you search "Airborne glass".

www.magictricks.co.uk sell them if it what I'm thinking of.
They do the job but as said before you really do have to watch your angles and they can be unreliable.
