I would wager you are more of a working professional than some of the negative posters here on the Café'. It is nice to see someone who cares about magic like you. That useless jaded, misinformed coments meant to incite rather than to bring growth or interesting conversation have been posted. The other thread is for reviews and was moved, but people keep posting. Thanks again for your thoughts and contributing to this thread. magicmike30

I love how large price tags are labeled as "for the working pro". In reality its the amateurs that are always looking for the next "big trick" that will make them a working pro.
I am not saying this effect won't do all that it says it will do. I just find it funny... |

This was aimed for guys who make their living at magic.
It will also appeal to the ones that are looking to take their magic and reputation to the next level. magicmike30

Are you saying there is not a chance that a working pro would be disappointed by this effect? I work multiple restaurants and a variety of other venues where angles are an issue. A "worker" means angle free(or angle free with care of course). So what makes this a worker? I just want you to clarify because all I hear is working pro, working pro, working pro... People are going to watch you from all angles from all parts of the room(especially if you are good). I know there are going to be people who come back at me with lines like "control the situation" and "know your angles". Anyone who has ever worked a cocktail party will find lines like that humorous. I guess you could "usher" everyone over to a corner so you have your safe 180 degrees but that doesn't classify as a worker IMO. I guess I just got sick of seeing the "working pro" line over and over again. I am a working pro and I don't think I will write home about this particular effect...Might as well usher them to the corner for the old faithfull balducci... |

I just have to say I save money for this illusion and than I'm a working professional! come on guy, this levitation sucks! it looks bad on the video and I'm sure it looks worse in reality! a high price dosen't make a good illusion. this levitation isn't worth 100 bucks! perhaps the work and the used material is worth the price, but not the effect itself and that's the only thing which is important... |

I'd wager that some of the best magicians out there are not "working professionals." Many of us have been doing magic since before you were born, do perform on a regular basis (recently did two fundraisers with audiences of 180-200 at each one), and take magic seriously as an art form. Not sure why some folks spend so much time bashing effects rather than adding to the magic community. S |

No you don't have to do this in a corner. That was an example for a very large group at a stag. You have to now what you can do with this effect and like always control the situation when performing. Take care, magicmike30

No problem.. I see the huge potential in this and I'm contemplating making the purchase. Would have to wait until Darryl is doing custom orders, though. The Docs aren't really my style.
Here's a question. The 'special something' you speak of that is changed in 3 seconds.. how readily available is this, and how expensive? Also, is a jacket required to conceal the apparatus? Thanks, magicmike.

Corey I sent you a pm.
The special somthing is readily available. You can get this at Walmart and it is cheap and will last for many performances. When Darryl did this for me he was in a short sleeve shirt. I was like what? You can do this with out a Jacket if your shirt is untucked. This in my opinion Corey is an amazing levitation. magicmike30

WHAT??? OK..... As always another post adding no productive meaning to this thread. Real sad how some have to criticize out of pure ignorance instead of just asking a question. O'yea, you forgot about the running lawnmower that was circling Darryl while he levitated in the studio...

There was a question about noise when using the unit. Not the case. Floating outside you would not hear a thing. Floating in a restaurant no worries. Now for you really picky magi like me who want to do this in a dead quiet place. I have come up with a modification that is easy and can be added in a couple of minutes. Darryl was really impressed with my tip and it makes the FLY a super quiet one. Darryl also covers another technique you can employ if you were doing this at someone’s house and you did not use the modification. I would suggest take the few minutes it will take to modify your unit and most likely you have the stuff at your house already. If you didn’t it would cost you a couple of bucks. magicmike30 quote. The demo was shot a different locations. Outside a strip Mall. At a tanning salon. That Car Wash. A Bar and Grill. A Studio. So there you have it no conspiracy theory here. magicmike30

How much control do you have over the turning in mid-air and the duration of levitatoin? Is it possible to do it without the turning?

Yes, this can be performed without turning, you can go up and then straight down. Take care 'PIZ' |

Ok this looks good!! yes it is expensive but it is a very good investment for getting the gigs which is what we as magicians for the most part are all about. (the serious pro magicians anyway) to some of you yes it might seam that levitating a inch and spinning down is not worth the money, and I do hope that one day someone has the intelligence to make a levitation that promises everthing this does and allows you to "float" 5 or 6 feet in the air, but guess what that day is not here yet. So to some of you one here why don't you stop bashing someones awsome work and start getting to work on the 5 to 6 feet levitation. For now it looks like I am saving up some money so I can start getting some serious gigs!!!! props to the inventor on this awsome up to date best self levitation!!!!
