leviation

You borrow a lightweight object from a spectator. Just ask for anything they have in their pocket… (paper works best...). They pull out something... it could be a dollar bill, business card, gum wrapper, parking ticket, napkin, tissue, receipt, report card, postage stamp, to-do list, piece of aluminum foil, love-letter, post-it note, coupon, crumpled up phone number... it really doesn’t matter what they pull out... as long as it’s lightweight and you can fold it.

You give it a fold in half. You can fold object either the long way or the short way... you can even crumple it up if you wish. Next, you set the object in your hand with your palm face-up. The object hasn’t started floating yet... but gradually it starts to appear lighter... it’s as though gravity is relaxing away... or maybe the wind is catching it just right...

As you continue to concentrate on the object it begins to float. At first it floats for just a fraction of a second. You touch the object from the top with your index finger. As you’re pointing down at the object you remove your other hand from underneath completely.

The object follows your finger back and forth through the air. Soon you remove your hands from the object completely. You wave your hands on the top, bottom, and both sides of the object. You even form your fingers into a circle and run them around the object.

The Grand Finale

In one of the cleanest (and most-fun to perform) finishes in all of magic you unfold/un-crumple the object right before your spectator’s eyes. With no funny moves, (no swallowing, ditching, switching, breaking, reeling, or de-waxing) you hand the borrowed object back to your spectator and perfectly enunciate the magic words... “No Strings Attached”! (It’s very difficult not to smile at this moment… so go ahead and smile).

Your spectators can immediately grab and search for strings... they can hug and kiss you, cook your dinner, buy you presents... but they’ll never find a thing. They can take out a search warrant if they like... you’ll float that too! You’re already set-up for next time!

Manufacturer Says

(The name "No Strings Attached" is the final line in the suggested patter for this effect. A special type of advanced invisible thread is used.) The thread is easy to set-up and comes already stripped and ready for immediate use.

The only restriction with this effect is that it must be performed in the area that it has been set-up. It is excellent for use at home, on the streets, at work, at school, on stage, during speaking engagements, at parties, etc., but it is not ideal for table hopping/strolling magicians. Many restaurant workers use The House, but in a central part of the restaurant and not at each table individually.

Maybe.. just maybe it's called the house... because you can only do it, in your HOUSE? I dunno, I like the concept of this trick but the fact it's not very versitile, I gave it a 4. Good thinking though!

The "secret" is extremely difficult to do. "It" was so messed up that I couldn't set it up one bit.

I haven't been able to perform in yet.

If you wish to throw away $ 30, then add to cart.

Just Move On... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 24th, 2004
Here I am, scrolling through the reviews given by others and can barely contain my excitement. All I'm seeing is 5's and 4's, all saying that the trick is truly astonishing.

Well I guess I'll have spend some more time with my Websters because apparently, we have different ideas of astonishing.

Don't get me wrong, this trick would be truly amazing if it was portable. Tricks like The Raven or the Vanishing Handkerchief are as such, ones that you could presumeably do with little to no setup. This one however, lacks that ability. The way that you're forced to set this trick up is of itself a task, not to mention making sure that no one ever discovers the gimmick or happens to stumble onto the secret.

While I may have some high expectations of levitation tricks, this one just doesn't even measure up to par due to its inability to perform easily.

only one problem with this... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 7th, 2003
The only thing I don't like about this is the fact that it is a stationary, not mobile levitation. It needs to be set up in a specific place. I mostly perform magic in public and this has a bit of set up, so is not practical for restaurants and bars (unless you work there).

So if you perform on a stage, your office, or at home, its great. Just don't expect to get much use from it in the streets.

Not impressed!!!!! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 3rd, 2003
I have spent hundreds of dollars on books, videos, packet tricks etc. This is one of the worst purchases I have ever made. I guess I just need to stay away from levitations, or come up with something on my own. I guess I put my expectations a little to high on this effect. I do have to admit that you end very clean. It says that this effect is impromptu. I guess I need to look up the definition of impromptu, because impromptu to me means I can do the effect when I want wherever I want. If someone asks you to perform the effect a week later you had better hope you are in your special location.

The best psychokinetic levitation so far Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 15th, 2016
This is the best levitation/small object manipulation system I have bought so far. I cannot understand the complaints about the complexity of its set up. It is much simpler and invisible in comparison.
I give it 5 stars just because the exit is so well hidden and clean, plus the re-entry can be so quickly applied without re-set up. The cleaness of this exit can leave untrained ordinary people a false sense of paranormal power.
But I won't call this a no-string-attached levitation though.
Lots of potential can be explored from here.

not great Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 7th, 2019
This is essentially a weak variation of earlier levitation tricks and the method is not great. I will never use this as the setup is ridiculous.

In the right environment... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 3rd, 2010
In the right environment and the right conditions this hook-up works very well. If you perform on a stage or some sort of platform then I imagine this would be perfect for you. I however do walkaround magic and it doesn't suit my style at all- that said though the gimmick and the tutorial are done to a very high standard, it all depends on your performing style and environment I guess.

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 31st, 2008
I just got this trick today. I was blown away by the secret. Im still thinking of more affects i can do with this. The good thing about this os that there is no way that the aduince is ganna figure out the secret. One thing that is dosent show it the preview that i think it should is that you can walk away from the bill wile its floating. It also has a great way to make the bill appear. ADD TO CART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
