This is a link to Peter Lougrahn's(sp) new effect 'Gravitate'.

It looks interesting to me, but I want to hear what everyone else thinks.

Well, it's ok but, doesn't look like it is that strong regarding the impact of visual magic.
I have purchased a few products from Peter, and by seeing the demo looks like another general product from Peter. I owned both E1 & E2 and was very disappionted and out about $300.
Ask a lot of questions and make sure you get answers, or at least a good idea about the product.
You could be out $160-180.

It looks good, but there are too many props! I don't think I want to walk around the street with all the props. This is for working pro who wants a different kind of levitation.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking about the props, seems to be quite a bit, good enough for a gig though. The camera looking under the body too..why so shaky ? That's the only problem I'd have with it, otherwise, it looks *** good.

I'm waiting for reviews on this one.

We have tp wait until dec 15 before a review.can they peek under you anywhere you want or only the legs?

As far as my understanding of this trick, its under the legs + butt, and under your head / shoulders. Anything in-between there they cannot look.

Either that, or I am completely wrong about the method.

Do we really need the 2 red blocks? can we just ask the spectator to hold our head and feet?

I must admit its not one of Peters strongest effect.

The plot is very strong but visually its bit weak.

Yes I agree Binary, I think you probably can only see under parts of his body, not completely underneath per the demo, yet the ad says "your spectators can see under you and around 360 degrees".
that's sounds like people can look completely underneath you, but they can't?

I strongly agree with this statement. I love Peter, but just not his bet effect.

I think it is better than FLY...

I'm really not impressed with FLY for $1600.00...

Well, the price of FLY will always make some disagree.....'PIZ'

Yeah, can you look under the person, 360 as advertised? Why doesn't the demo show a full shot of underneath? I'd definitely buy it if you could!

Jes,

I don't have problem exepting the 360 degree angle but this looks to be big brother of Elevator when it come to angles.

Even though it could have a 360 degree angle. there could be problems when the spectators wanting to have a worm's eye view.

I know that no street levitation will give you a worm's eye view but this one falls behind in visual impact. It seems like you almost have to explain in mid performance what the whole effect is.

I would go for much bigger height and removal of one box only. so its more of a suspension rather than levitation.

O dear, I've just given away an effect to work on and now somebody will come up with a $100 DVD

I see an awful lot criticism based on assumption & uneducated guesses, might be a good idea to wait for the release & see what real world experience shows. Confused why there is concern of too many props, makes sense to me ground cover to clear area & show no prepared surface & 2 small supports to begin the levitation.

I didn't care for the demo. The camera was very friendly if you know what I mean....

I'm pretty sure they looked undernieth him, all the way, in one shot or another.
I would have liked to see more height though. When I first watched the demo, I wasn't sure he was floating yet.

Do you need really strong abs to perform this effect?

What looks good about this? Nothing that I can see.
There is only one solution to this and it seems quite obvious to me, as I believe it would be to any spectator.

The camera does not give a view completely beneath the performer and I'd wager that there's a very good reason as to why (the aforementioned obvious MO).

Besides all of that, it simply doesn't look the least bit impressive.
"Light as a feather, stiff as a board" would have more impact.
