Eagleeye. WHY are you so afraid of 'string' ? I don't know of any levitation that looks good without it. Most of the others have the car hover a little off the deck so thay work mainly with the spectator looking down on the cards. They 'all' have angles. 'String' had no angles only light danger. There is a booklet on the Hummer Card by Jon Jensen at £8. BUT check out the small book,of 30 pages, The UFO Whirling Card, Helicopter Card by Geno Munari & Mark Blais, published by Houdini's Magic Shop, Las Vegas. Some English dealers carry it but I can't remember which one I bought it from. Various floating and moving card effects including floating round your body but you still need 'string' What a quaint word to describe IT, although the Tannen rip off of Ralf (Braco) Wichmann's 'Floating Routines For Table & Stage 'book was given the title, The String Book! If you're in a Magic Club see if their library has Billy McComb's 25 Years Wiser. Check out pages 51 to 54, Frolics With The Hummer Whirling Card.
