The levitation trick is by far the most spectacular trick in the world of illusion. People are always waiting for a miracle and are ready to believe that everything is subject to man, even to soar above the ground. So what is the secret of this trick?
Instructions
Step 1
The secret of the levitation trick is that there is optical illusion, which will be experienced by spectators who are several steps away from you and observe the whole process at an angle of 45 degrees. You put on wide pants and rise to the toe in such a way that the hem of the pants completely covers the foot. At the same time, raise the second leg so that it covers the other from the audience.
Step 2
Rehearse in front of the mirror several times before showing the focus to the audience. It would be best to shoot everything on camera, so that later you can look from the outside at possible mistakes and bring the number to an impeccable state.
Step 3
When demonstrating this trick, also pay attention to the following subtleties:
Do not do this trick as the first number of the program, let the audience warm up and feel the spirit of magic and wizardry.
Step 4
Don't warn viewers about tricks based on optical illusion, especially levitation, everything should happen by itself, without any warning. Just announce that you would like to try doing something, though not really sure what will work out. Then go back to the required distance, turn your face to the 10:30 position (as on a watch dial) and start slowly going up, your hands go down at this time.
Step 5
The optimal number of viewers for this focus is 2-3 people. Also note that it is not recommended to show focus for more than 4 seconds. You should be at a distance of 2-3 meters from the audience, keep your leg in the air parallel to the floor.
Step 6
You can also try a simpler and uncomplicated option. Just take an assistant and place it in the recess in the stage. Stand on his back, and spread a cloth behind you, which will cover your assistant from the eyes of the public. At the very moment of levitation, the assistant should slowly rise, lifting you with him. Do not drag out this trick so that the audience does not have time to understand exactly how the "levitation" took place.
