Levitas

When I watched the preview demo I admit I was impressed; however, I had an inkling of the method. When I received this from VI, I opened the package and most of what it contained was familiar too me with one difference. I was correct about the primary method of this effect, at the same time I was pleasantly surprised with the simplicity of the gimmick. The gimmick is a creative method that made the demo impressive.

I have been researching and collecting different various IT effects and tools. My interest in close-up levitation dates back the the VHS days when I obtained Michael Ammar's Floating Dollar Bill bid and Kevin James Floating Rose. This effect caught my eye because of the slight differences of this effect's execution.

I have a couple of minor negatives, the first being the price point. The packaging is very simple and upon initial examination of the contents, you could DIY this for much less. The tutorial is presented by the creators and is of good quality, albeit they explain everything in their native Italian language, which is accompanied with English sub-titles. They teach the main effect along with a few other different effects.

The other point is the link to the tutorial. Included in the package is an approx. 2 cm square piece scrap of paper with with a QR code printed on it. You'll need to be careful not to lose that piece of paper or accidently toss it in the trash. You also cannot download the tutorial and will have to watch it on your smart phone or tablet device.

Overall, I'm glad I obtained this effect as it is a good addition to my learning all I can about IT.
