Criss Angel Levitation
The Criss Angel levitation trick has to be one of the most impressive forms of, seemingly impromptu, levitation there is to date. Criss Angel performed this illusion on his television series "Criss Angel: Mindfreak".
People are amazed at how high the Criss Angel levitation actually is compared to other forms of levitation, such as the Balducci version, which is only a couple of inches high.
Indeed, the Criss Angel levitation is better performed when there is scope for at least six inches of height, up to about one foot of height, and maybe a little more if you are quite tall.
You will have primed your audience to say that you will be performing a levitation later on in your act. This is simply a subtle technique to "program" your audience. You will know it as the Criss Angel levitation and any of the audience who has seen that will be equally amazed that you can perform it.
If any of your audience has not seen the Criss Angel levitation, they will be utterly amazed at your performance.
Will you need any gimmicks to perform the Criss Angel levitation? Yes you will, but they are easily obtainable.
Can the Criss Angel levitation be performed anywhere? It can but it is angle sensitive and you will have your back to the audience when performing this trick.
What is done during the Criss Angel levitation? You stand facing away from your audience and a few inches in front of a chair or wall. You explain how strenuous performing a Criss Angel levitation is, whilst misdirecting and using your gimmicks. You then slowly lift both feet off the ground and land them on the chair or wall in front of you. Lots of applause follows.
The Criss Angel levitation is definitely a magical effect and people will really believe you are floating.
