Author Description

FROM THE FORWARD: "Since the days of Robert Houdin the tour de force of big illusion shows has been the levitation. and this effect is associated in the minds of:audiences with high-class entertainment at its best. The ambition of practically every magician is to present a levitation as the featured attraction of his performance, and, heretofore, this dream has been realized only by a select few because of the expense and cumbersomeness of the equipment. MODERN LEVITATIONS is an innovation as it brings for the first time audience-tested and thoroughly practical levitation methods which may be used under all conditions in the centre of a ballroom floor, in one's own parlor, or on the stages of the largest theaters. Herein are described in detail versions that will appeal to every taste and pocket-book, and which can be put into effect with a minimum of apparatus. and, in some cases, on almost a moment's notice with material that can be found in any home."
