GHOST LEVITATION
New illusions are not often invented and produced. Usually, they are variations on an existing effect or weak imitations of an old idea… and perhaps that’s why the Blackpool audience couldn’t tear themselves away from our stand to see the demonstration of the brand-new Ghost Levitation! Forget all the classic levitations and floating effects and read on…
On stage stands a beautiful chair, actually a stylish club chair. Your assistant or a spectator is invited to sit down and feel how comfortable the chair is… but they don’t know they are about to experience something very special. Suddenly, the spectator begins to rise a few centimeters out of the chair! What’s more, their feet lift into the air a bit faster, their legs slowly but surely stretch out, and after a few moments, the person is balancing only with their neck on the backrest of the chair! Their legs and entire body are suspended freely in the air without any visible support, and you can look under, over, and all around. If desired, you can even pass a hoop around them to show there is no physical support holding the body up. Just as mysteriously, magically, and visually as before, the person slowly descends and lands back in the exact same seated position, immediately able to stand up and walk away!
A fantastic illusion based on an idea by levitation specialist Yogano, with several strong and important features that every professionally-minded illusionist will greatly appreciate!
- Can be performed at any point in your act
- No harness, so complete freedom of movement
- The chair can be easily moved and manipulated to appear almost weightless
- The entire levitation sequence is fully automatic thanks to the built-in timer
- Can be performed fully surrounded
- No heavy counterweights or support plates that need to be covered with a suspicious piece of carpet or similar under the chair
- The complete high-tech system is built into the chair and is absolutely silent
- Can optionally be performed with someone from the audience (with a cloth)
The Ghost Levitation heralds a new era of practically usable levitation illusions, with all the advantages of existing systems but without their drawbacks, and so much more! Beautifully finished, professionally crafted and executed, the internal mechanism of the illusion can easily support persons up to 70 kg.
