The Balducci Levitation

The Balducci Levitation is an illusion that can be performed anywhere,anytime. The illustration to the left showyou the audience point-of-view.Standabout 8 to 10 feet away from the audience at a 45° ‘backward’ angle.This is an 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!

The Secret:
All there is to do is pretend to “float off of the ground while you tippee-toe on just one foot (the foot furthest from their view) as shown to the right and below. The audience can not see your supporting foot because it is hidden by three things: your pants, the angle of the trick and your closest shoe (which hides their view of
the foot being used to “levitate” you.) You might only rise 3 or 5 inches off of the ground, but it’s all in the presentation! You will want to slowly rise off of the ground . . . wait a few seconds and then drop fast. Stay up too long and they will probably figure it out.

Good luck and enjoy the illusion!
