i never liked king rising. and that putting your jacket over your feet bit really shouldn't fool anyone, which is why i guess i don't like it.
do something that starts clean, ends clean. and doesn't involve just dodgy josteling about in the middle

Fair enough, but to an audience youve just strengenthed the effect not just "jostled arround in the middle"

i suppose, maybe i just look at things like this through a magicians eyes rather than that of a potential onlooker

Honestly, I think that levitations are out-lived. If I had to buy something with $100 it wouldn't be a levitation.

Thanks,

Benn, what type of concept are you using the levitation in? If you're just trying to look like you can float in front of your mates then I wouldn't even bother with the Criss Angel version.

If you have some kind of commercial reason for using a self levitation then I would recommend the Criss Angel version (although I've never seen the Icarus version).

For looking cool in front of people you know try a good ambitious card routine or coins across - but levitating yourself has to be something worth the effort in my opinion.
