Effect: A
magician sits down in a chair and put a sheet over him. Suddenly, he
rises about one foot in the air. Shoes, everything comes off the
ground. The audience is dumbfounded
Secret: The secret to this is very devious and requires lots
of practice to perfect it. What is vital is that the sheet used is
not a see-through sheet. Before you start the trick, make sure that
your shoes are on your feet loosely, but that this looseness is not
obvious to the audience. Once you stand over the chair, throw the
sheet over you and the chair. When ready to sit down, slip off your
shoes and place your feet behind your shoes so that the shoes are
protruding from the sheet. Now comes the tricky part. Ok.
.think about this. when you want to pick up you’re a pair of shoes
at the same time. you hold them at the double-line formed above the
laces when the shoes are placed together. Use your big toe and your
second toe of your right foot and hold your two shoes with these
toes.
Put your weaker hand over the left leg so that that hand ‘blends’ in
with the left leg . While doing this, put your stronger hand right
in this case) behind your back so that it rests on the seat of the
chair. To float. all you have to do is push yourself up with the
hand on the seat of the chair and raise the hand which blends in
with your foot so that it is always in line with the other foot. The
foot which is holding the shoes should rise and hence the shoes will
also rise. The foot which the hand blended in with, this is on the
ground also helping you push up. This foot is hidden though by the
shoes and the sheet somewhat.
