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.
