I'm sorry to say this, but I really regret this purchase. The gimmick you need to make, its extreamely uncomfortable and impractical and in the end not even very neccicery.

If you want to float cheaply then either purchase "One" (if you have the money) or Spiritwalker.

When I first heard about the Zero Gravity levitation, I thought it would be a great alternative to the Balducci Levitation I had just learned a few months before buying Zero Gravity. And after getting the manual in the mail, I was so disappointed with how you're supposed to create this Levitation routine with a pair of shoes I haven't purchased since I was 12 years old. Not worth the money, the time and the pair of shoes you have to destroy to make this gimmick.
If you're looking for a levitation effect, do NOT purchase this.

This trick is very bad. You do have to buy extra items.

Building the gimmick is quite harsh and annoying as well. I've tried building the gimmick TWICE. Both times were a disaster. The shoes are completely ruined and the trick doesn't even work that great. It's not very practical. It can be impromptu if you'd like to walk around in such shoes (but believe me, you won't want to walk around in them). Therefore, the impromptu ability is 50/50.

There are way better levitation effects out there. Skip this one. You really can do without this one. If you already have the other levitations and want to try this, I still recommend that what you already have is better than this. Fly away with your other levitations, but not this one.

Zero Gravity is great, but prepare to destroy your shoes.

Pros:

Easy to do
Great angles
Looks AWESOME
Cheap to build

Cons:
Not very practical
Actions can look a little weird
You kill a shoe
They can't look at the bottom of your shoes
Complicated

Zero gravity will give you some ideas on creating your own levitations. Add to cart.

i already had this levitation but after seing all the bad reviews of it i just had to promote it.... it is the best levitation on the market EVER............what more can i say........ the only reason that the other "unhappy customers" said not to get it is because of the preperation....i live in ireland and the trainers that are over here are called converse. they are exacley the same as all-stars, cost around 55 euros but i got them for a tenner because i went to a low priced shop called hettons. you can go to a second hand shop if you want just look for the cheapest pair of converse/all stars you can find... to make the gimmick ther is very little you nee and will cost you 10-15 euros at the most, it cost me nothing apart from the price or the shoes, everything was found in my garage.. if your willing to wait for mabey 2-5 hours AT THE MOST for the best levitation you can ever buy that is not angle sensitive and does not need a jacket to cover anything then get this right now no joke just click add to f***ing cart NOW. the reason people dont like this is because they were unsuccesfull in making the gimmick and dont have the ball to try again, they probibly didnt even try the illusion on the publick... now i know that ther will be the odd smart ass asking to see the shoes but that doesnt matter because over 95% of the publick will DROP DEAD with this illusion, GET IT, GET IT, GET IT, GET IT, GET IT, GET IT!!! FOR GOD SACKES GET THIS WONDERFULL ILLUSION RIGHT NOW!!! DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, JUST ADD TO CART!!!

This levitation is awful! Not only is it hard to make the gimmick, but it's hard to perform too! You have to ruin a perfectly good pair of shoes for this effect. Also, the levitation doesn't rise as high up as it is describe to. You don't rise up 4-5 inches; more like 2-3! I gave Zero Gravity 2 stars because it still is more angle proof than other levitation, including the Balducci Levitation, which was used by David Blaine on his television special and was (ahem) "altered". If you wish to buy a good self-levitation, buy the Wild Levitation. The only thing wrong with the Wild Levitation is the use of a jacket, which you shouldn't mind.

This is the worst product I have ever purchased from Penguin. Perhaps the worst product I have ever purchased. Don't bother byuing it, you would only be wasting your money. Everything they say about it is a lie. You can't do it surrounded, you will probably go 2-3 inches(not 4-5), and it lacks the start-clean/end-clean of the Balducci. By the way it's not impromptu either.

I received the Zero Gravity manuscript in the mail a few days ago; I have to say that this is brilliant. I think alot of magicians will not like this, because there is a lot of precision preperation and "building" that has to be done in order to perform this illusion. But, I have to say, good!! I hope that many magicians will buy this and decide not to build it and do it, because I want to be one of the few blowing people away with it!!! It is a great idea and very useable....regardless of what others may think. I am absolutely freaking people out right and left with this one; and it feels good!! Many people that I have shown this to have said that it looks better than what David Blane did; that's cool to me. I really highly recommend this levitation. But be warned, the time and effort that you need to put into making it up will most likely discourage you and leave one heckuva great illusion for me to perform. Thank you in advance and thank you to Penguin for carrying this one!!!!!

This is my favorite levitation in the shop! I love to use it. There is some rough preparation involved, and it requires good practice, but once mastered, this effect is just fantastic. You can do this surrounded which is one of the best features about it. This is levitation at its best without buying a very expensive gimmick. The gimmick is not examinable, however its nothing people would want to examine. You go up high, or at least high enough. Why I love it: Blows people away, easy, not angle sensitive. Why it didn't get the full five: It does involve some preparation, that some people may not like. That said, I highly recommend it. Ive had great experiences with it. Its devastating.

If you are looking for a good levitation, I would recommend sticking with the original Balducci levitation. Although the angles are a little bit better on this one, there is some set-up involved. It won't be impromptu unless you have the gimmick, and the reactions you get won't be any better than the ones you'll get with the Balducci.
