Angel does his levitation a little differently than others. Totally unique. He still has to worry about angles. Notice you only get a back shot of his? The pants have a cut down the front of one side. Small magnets hold the cut together. Magnets in the sides of his shoes also. The pants leg is attached to the shoe. Now slipping the leg out and to the front.. the shoes stay together looking like two legs in the air. Really the front leg is just hidden as it supports the other leg and hollow pant leg. There is a round insert in the calf section of the hollow pant also to keep the proper form. :-) Very awesome because he can float "up" to higher positions like to a chair. I have about 12 unopened copies of this dvd if anyone is interested.

For stage magic its a bit different to make another person float. The device that keeps the person floating is not at all attached above the person.(in most modern examples) Notice most magicians show that there is nothing above or below the person? The device is attached usually from the magicians hip area straight out and to the mid section of the person. There are several ways of doing this some more expensive of course. And keep in mind that some cheaper shows do still use cables. lol Most examples of "street magic" levitation use camera trickery or the cooperation of those standing around watching. You can choose Blaine or Angel for a example. First thig to notice when they are doing any levitation is the part that is unbelievable. When it gets beyond the angles and you just know that the magic is real.. look for things such as the clothes and size of each spectator. Blaines editors took three of his tv specials and combined them into one dvd. Go rent it and watch his levitation example. When the levitation gets unreal notice that the spectators look almost the same except you can clearly tell that they are different people dressed to match the spectators he originally had.

For a levitation that is easy yet more effective than some of the others look up "king rising" performed by Brad Christian. This shows a method that allows the spectator to actually see both feet rise in the air. Effective when done right.
