Franz Harary has re invented the floating ball!!!!!

utterly breathtaking.

and the second clip, using spring bills, cards, and the coat stand....
Wow!

Just watched the floating ball sequence.

Bleedin' 'eck! I'm assuming this one isn't suitable for solo kids' shows?!? :shock:

what gets me , is the speed of the thing. And the way that the jackets have been chosen, to act in the same way as the usual curtain to help hide the method in the low level floating sequence.

Franz Harary's just gone up a notch in my estimation.. and he was high up there already!

Plus, I also notice that this dance routine was infinitely more entertaining than many of the stage illusion acts I've seen.

I think it's because, by its very nature, the performers weren't relying on the trick to carry the act. The illusion was phenomenal, but it was still all about the performers.

Great stuff!
