The Balducci Levitation - is an illusion that can be performed almost anywhere, anytime. It uses no wires, strings, rigs, camera tricks, etc. This is a highly restrictive, angle-sensitive trick. You have to practice your angles over and over to get used to them. One bad angle or position and the illusion is blown! Stand about 8 to 10 feet away from the audience at a 45° ‘backward’ angle. You pause . . . and then slowly start to float. Rise up on the toes of the unseen foot. Your heel stays level with the rising leg and the appearance is that you are levitating. You rise 3 to 5 inches off of the ground before you suddenly “crash” back down to the ground.
