Good! Now, I am going to teach you how to levitate a few inches off the ground like David Blaine. It is actually very, very simple but there are little key points to make this effect work.
First of all, you do not want to tell people what you are going to do. You want them looking at the result. You want to tell them—you want to say, “I am going to try something. I am going to try something. It takes a lot of energy and sometimes it works, sometimes it does not”. It is always a good thing to say.
So the angle for this is you want to stand about a 45-degree angle away, okay? You want to stand about 45-degree angle away and what you are going to do is you are going to come up on your right foot. So behind this scene, behind everything, you are going to come up on your right foot.
This is the exposed view. This is the view that you do not want people to see. This is how it should look whenever you go up. You come up on your right foot. Go up and down. Here is an exposed view of it. This is what you do not want people to see. You come up on your right foot behind the seams, behind this leg, alright. You are going to come up, balance on your right foot, and come down, alright? So you want to keep this foot up, like so. You do not want it down and then down. You want it up and then down.
The reason why you want to stay and you want to be about 45-degree angle is because you do not want them seeing your right foot that is staying on the ground as it comes up. You do not want to stand for more than a couple of seconds because the longer that you are up in the air, the longer the people have more time to figure out what is going on, and so you have to just go up for maybe two, three seconds, then come down. And as you come down, bend your knees and come down as if you came down from the distance, okay?
One last thing, when you do come down, say how high they go, and you go like this. Sometimes it is high, sometimes it is not, and people swear later that you went up, like afloat.
So, that is about the levitation. That is the levitation that David Blaine used throughout this whole TV special. Enjoy!
