The Best Kept Secret in Magic
  • Float Me Alone - Corporate Suspension - Levitation

Here is the original ad copy:

          Skip Daniels has created what may very well be the perfect levitation/suspension effect, Float Me Alone! (Clever wordplay... "Float Me A Loan"...get it?)

          Walk out carrying a handsome black suitcase. The case measures 20" x 19" x 8" thick. It is covered with hotel and airline stickers, just like steamer trunks from the 1930's. Open the suitcase and remove two briefcases. Place one briefcase on the stage. Stand the large suitcase on end, then place the second briefcase on top. Now, drape a small bar towel over the top briefcase.
          Ask a spectator to sit down cross-legged on the top briefcase. Now, remove the middle suitcase. Pull it all the way back! The spectator is left floating in air! You can even pass a hoop over the spectator. There are no visible attachments!
          If you like, you could even levitate yourself with Float Me Alone!

          Float Me Alone will easily support 175 pounds. The gimmick comes and goes with the suitcases, so there is nothing on stage when you start, and nothing there at the end! The angles are great. You can do it with people on three sides. Perfect for stage or platform. Great for kids' shows. You can even do it at birthday parties!

          Float Me Alone is completely self contained. It all fits inside one large suitcase. The entire unit weighs only 30 pounds. The precision-made cases and gimmick make this a dream to perform.

          This is a very high quality piece and is essentially the "adult" equivalent of the classic "Flying Carpet Suspension". This does not come with the original instructions... I have tried to obtain them with no luck (I even contacted the creator and he said he didn't not have a copy). That said, it's pretty easy to suss out. All you'll need to come up with is your own presentation for it.

          This one does not have stickers all over it as in the description. You could easily add some.  There do appear to have been several stickers on it at one time, as there is some mild residue on the side of the largest case. I think this would clean off easily with a product like "Goo Gone". etc.

          Even though this illusion is being sold as used, it does NOT appear to have been used much, if at all.  It appears brand new. Condition is near-mint!

          SHIPPING WILL BE MORE THAN THE $8.00 FLAT RATE FOR THIS ITEM. Shipping will be charged at the ACTUAL rate and I will be able to offer several shipping options for you once it is packed and ready to go. Please feel free to contact me before ordering for the cost of shipping.

          PLEASE NOTE - This is in my "Used/Collectible" category.  I have just the one... when it sells, I do not know when or even IF I will ever have another.  If you're interested in this unusual and scarce illusion, I'd recommend contacting me ASAP.

$495.00

PLEASE NOTE - If you are not ordering for U.S. delivery, you MUST contact me BEFORE ordering to determine shipping options and rates.  The flat rate postage fee DOES NOT APPLY to orders shipped OUTSIDE the United States.  Simply send me a list of the items you wish to order and I'll get back to you with the shipping options and rates.  Once you decide how you'd like the order shipped, I can send a PayPal invoice directly to you (or we can work out other payment arrangements, if necessary).  Thank you!
