Guy does crazy levitation on X factor
- Thread starter kangsham
- Start date
The next time someone tells me that giving a different presentation to a trick everyone has seen won't make it seem like a totally different trick, I'm sending them to this thread.
He's using a modified gimmick but it's very cool, I can't wait to see what else he pulls off with this character.
It is the character that is most interesting. The levitation is cool, but not something that wins a competition like this. It was how he performed. He toyed with the audience. He bored then. He made them boo. He almost got buzzed off the stage. In the end, he knew exactly when to pull the trigger and throw everyone so far off their guard that they loved him.
Great performance! Very well done. Yeah it's a very old technique, and it's certainly a modified version, but very well done.
He had everyone eating out the palm of his hand and he knew it! A sucker punch to the side of the head!
That particular stunt goes back over 1,000 years if I recall correctly; it is one of the oldest of the larger scaled bits of magic known to exist with the Indian Rope Trick being the oldest. Other such bits include the Sword Basket and a few interesting animal mutilations.
