The Magic of David Blaine
Levitation

Effect:

Step 1

Face away from the people who you are going to perform the trick to. Make sure
there no one standing in front of you or at the sides. The audience has to be
behind you.

Step 2

Take one and a half steps out in front of you and turn yourself clockwise to a
two 'o' clock position.

Step 3

Make sure your feet are together, bend your knees slightly.

Step 4

Slowly lift your left foot up so you a balancing on the ball of your foot, at
the same time slowly lift your right foot up right off the ground. Make sure
that you lift up your right foot the same time as your left foot.
If done correctly it will look like (from the audience view) your levitating of
the ground.

TIPS :

This trick requires practice, to help you perform this trick correctly try and
practice in front of the mirror. You have to make sure that the distance between
you and the audience is correct otherwise they will see the tip of your left
foot. Also make sure that the angle is correct as well otherwise someone might
see your left foot.

Having the correct footwear is very important with this trick. You can't wear
any shoes that have a heel. Trainers are OK to wear but they must be flat. The
best footwear is to have either dark flat shoes or trainers with dark trousers
(pants).

When you start to lift of the ground slowly raise both arms up also lower your
arms when you lower yourself.
