Rue Morgue

Effect:

Magician drapes a blanket over him except for his head, then floats off the ground and then comes back down. He takes off the blanket and shows it to everyone.

Secret:

This takes some muscle. Lie down and drape the blanket over you and make sure it DOES NOT wrap under your feet. Now if your audience is on your left, turn your left foot inwards, on your right, turn your right inwards. This will make it look like both feet are in the air. Now, put your arms against your side under the blanket. When your ready to float, grab under your thighs with your hands and lift yourself up with your elbows on the floor and your closest leg to the audience up in the air. Your other leg will be balancing you. This looks awesome but it takes a little practice.
