The Thing
The reputation-making one-man levitation that can be performed
ANYWHERE!
Perform it
in a living room, on a large theater stage, or in broad daylight on the
street. The Thing can float in any performing situation with your
audience viewing from any angle. No matter howclose the spectators are,
whether they're behind, on top or underneath you, they will not see how
this THING works! Practical, one-man levitations are few and far
between. After a decade of research and development in front of real
audiences, in addition to numerous requests from magicians around the
world, Bill is finally releasing a cherished routine.
The Thing comes
complete and ready for your show! Whether your specialty is bizarre
magic, kid shows, mentalism, comedy magic, or stage illusions the Thing
has the versatility of playing in any style that you want it to.
Routine Description:
At any
point in your act, you show a box made of clear plastic
completely empty. The box lid is opened and an empty cloth handkerchief
is draped over the open box. Mysteriously a form rises slowly up from
out of the box under the cloth continuing up until it is hovering
suspended in mid-air. The audience can have a clear view of the
levitation from any angle and can see there is no support of any kind.
You then lift a corner of the cloth up and over the levitating object
only to have it suddenly disappear leaving the cloth hanging empty in
your fingers! By draping the cloth over the invisible object it slowly
makes its reappearance in an unbelievably magical fashion. The object
can then float up and out of your fingers, shoot on a horizontal plane
away from you or out above the heads of the audience. Finally you push
the cloth-covered object back down into the box, dramatically close the
lid and bow to thunderous applause!
