I seen Steve Fearson do his Floating Cigarette in the isle of a dealer room. I was 3 feet form him and did not see a thing except a fantastic routine.

I like the animator - for me it's more flexible - I feel I can do many different effects with the same hook-up; at the same or different locations!

My vote is for the Animator. I like Jon's hook-up and ease of handling.

I have to say I love them both!

The Floating Cigarette is a great attention getter prior to doing a series of close-up work switching to the Animator!

Since smoking is on its way out, anyone using another object instead of the Cig. when they perform the Fearson's hook up?

There are lots of very light candy sticks. It's fun finding out which works best because the failures get eaten.

There are not many potential props that you can do this with.

How about levitating a straw from one drink to another?

I just can say this..

Way back in 1987 at a convention in Reinbeck near Hamburg (unless I mix up the location and that convention wasn't at all at that place), I saw a very young man carrying an attache case around, doing that very same floating cigarette and I only was a couple of feet apart watching it.

It was an outstanding effect and to this day I have no idea regarding his hook-up.

That guy might as well have been Steve Fearson.
I don't know. In any case he hadn't a moustache at that time. Smile

With the Fearson hookup, you can cause a cherry in a cocktail to float up out of someone's glass to your mouth...wanna see some jaws drop? I heard someone say they'll never touch another drop, after that routine, LOL!

I once used the Fearson hook-up to float a piece of sausage from a pizza. Fun times.
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".
