Fearson's Box Self Levitation Illusion

 

Steve Fearson has come up with a way to turn an ordinary milk crate into a self levitation device!

Step into Fearson's Box Levitation and take hold of the controls. Your audience will be amazed as you levitate upwards inside the box with no means of support!

Both your feet are seen to rise completely off of the ground! And you can do this barefoot!


The audience can actually see under BOTH feet while you are levitating

Only Fearson's Box can do that. No other close up levitation illusion compares!

If we stopped right here you would already have performed the most amazing levitation your audience has ever seen.

But there's more..


You shouldn't operate Fearson's Box levitation without your seat belt. So, you return to earth and put on your shoulder strap.

And now..

When you hit the controls again..

The entire box levitates with you in it!

Yes.. you read that right

It lifts you completely off the ground, just a few feet from your audience!



You bob up and down as if you were magnetized and finally return to earth


You will learn to levitate in your living room.. naked if you want!

Steve, out of all your effects this one is a killer, a slack jawed, mouth gaping miracle!! Please stop selling it so cheap!!

"This is one of those illusions that looks so good, practicing is as much fun as performing. My wife is very quick to grasp the solution to most tricks. I did the routine for her and was thrilled by the glassy eyed slack jawed stare she gave me as every gear in her head spun until the teeth broke off and she had to ask, "How the hell did you do that!" This is the acid test for a great trick. I may start to close my kid show with it. Packs small and plays strong I still can't believe you are selling it so cheap. This trick was worth every penny of the 100 bucks you were charging for it, it is a steal at the current price. Thank you for sharing it.

This is the kind of trick that a guy usually builds and spends a lifetime building a reputation with. This would be a great trick for a street performer or here in Boston a Subway performer to build an entire routine around, Hang out a sign that says, Watch me fly $1 and spend 15 minutes building a tip and then when they've all paid a buck lay the box on them. What a great piece of work!"

- D Denny - Boston, MA

 

"Thanks again for a teriffic looking effect!"

- J Cape

 

 

Well, Steve Fearson has done it again. Last evening at the Las Vegas Gary Darwin Magic Club meeting he unveiled his latest creation. Here is a brief description:

Performer brings in one of those plastic milk cartons that you see in back of your local supermarket. The box has attached to it a loop of rode about 7 feet long plus one of those "game controllers" that is used with your Nintendo. He climbs into the box (you can see his feet through the openings in the sides of the box) and picks up the "controller” .

After some manipulations he begins to lift-up (or liftoff) the floor of the box by several inches. You can clearly see his feet slowly lift up and off of the bottom of the box. He is levitating!

Next he reaches down, picks up the loop of rope and puts it over his head, around his neck. (Like a harness) Again he "fiddles" with the controls and this time when he floats up the box of course comes along with him! Both HE AND THE BOX are floating several inches off of the floor!!!!!

This Can be done in your living room - at the club - at a party - or during a platform type show, although it is best when done with the audience up close. (you must supply your own plastic milk container). Believe me it is puzzling, baffling and above all, entertaining!

* This is the ONLY levitation that can make that promise!

Pros and Cons

This one is great for a living room show or private party. You probably won't have much luck with it on stage. Elevated stages can expose the trick.

You can not perform this illusion for a kids show with the kids sitting on the floor.
 
Required Items

You'll need to chop the box up a bit and a small hacksaw is enough to do that. A handheld jig saw works great as well but is not really necessary.

It's up to you what you put on the box for decoration. The only mandatory add on is the rope seat belt.

Self Levitation Illusion

Originally , these plans sold in magic shops for $100.

When I entered magic in the early 90's there were no self levitations on the market. It's not that no one wanted to levitate, it's just that no one had invented a practical way to do it. The illusion of levitation is the most difficult illusion to produce convincingly. That is why levitations are so seldom seen. We are all familiar with the stage magician who levitates a woman. Most of us realize that the magician probably could not pull off the levitation in either of our living rooms, due to the mechanics involved in the typical levitation system or device. So, the challenge of creating a self levitation that you could use in the real world became an obsession for me.

One day I was sitting with another magician and I was complaining that my self levitation illusion plan was going nowhere. I started rambling, tossing around various self levitation principles which I had experimented with. Then as often happens with these things, my friend said something about a stage levitation that triggered something in my mind.

I didn't know what I was thinking yet, but his statement had stirred something deep in my memory banks. Something from long ago about a self levitation? That's what it felt like but how could that be possible since I had just began practicing and inventing magic recently. I thought maybe it was just a memory of a dream. A dream in which I levitated, or flew. I had those often as a child.

Not knowing what to make of my strange levitation memory, I decided that it itself was just an illusion and levitated my butt home.

Later that evening I was sitting alone when I felt my grey matter begin to stir like it was having contractions and was about to give birth to the self levitation illusion i had planned to create but couldn't seem to.

I had visions of levitations dancing in my head and I jumped to my feet and began gathering pieces of cardboard and rolls of tape like a bird scurrying to slap together a nest before winter arrives.

During the next 45 minutes, I pieced together the first prototype of a self levitation illusion that later came to be known as Fearson's Fantastic Floatation. The hardest part of the illusion to make practical was what to use for cover. It was days of experimenting before I realized that I could provide just enough cover for my dirty work during the levitation trick if I held my jacket, a suit coat sideways in front of my legs. I don't think people realize when they see all the "jacket levitations" on the market that I was the one who came up with that. That part of the trick seems incidental but it was really a breakthrough at the time. Using the jacket is what really makes all these self levitations on the market practical. Carrying a blanket around to provide cover while you levitate at your restaurant gig wouldn't catch on.

I felt so excited as my self levitation marketing plan began to finally unfold. I would take out full page ads in all the magic magazines announcing my new levitation trick I thought. That is, right after I win every contest in the world with it! "Hmmm..", I supposed.. "I wonder if they'll create a special award specifically for having the best levitation illusion in the world?"

Then it hit me.

I had that feeling again that I had at my friend's house, when I felt I remembered levitating long ago. There was no doubt the feeling had something to do with my creating the new illusion. Was my friend really the one responsible for my invention? Was it what HE said that solved the levitation problem for me? No that wasn't it. What I was realizing was actually much worse.

I was watching myself in the mirror as I experimented with the new levitation illusion. The crude gimmick was creaking, ripping and basically falling apart. As I reached my arms out to straighten it I got the urge to try levitating on my back rather than my front. In other words, to levitate as if I were doing a back stroke in the water.

Reality suddenly struck.

As I strained my head back and my "feet" began to "levitate" slowly up in front I realized what my memory was. Yes, I really WAS remembering a self levitation from long long ago. I was doing almost the exact same thing again.

I was doing the broomstick comedy levitation that we all learn as kids. I learned it from a cub scout handbook.

So.. Here I am thinking I have a brand new self illusion that is so ingenious it is going to revolutionize magic.. Everyone in the world will learn to levitate using my new system..

The broomstick levitation gag.

So what is an inventor to do in that situation? My hopes were so high. I had to do something.

The first thing I did was flipped back on to my belly.

And I continued on with the project. Hoping that when my levitation trick hit the market nobody would flip onto their back while practicing and realize the same terrible truth about my inventive genius that I had been so unfortunate to learn. My best trick was in the cub scout bear book.

It turned out not to be as bad as I thought. I did win the contests. The levitation did make it to market and took off like a rocket. Many, many magicians young and old learned to levitate and continue to learn to levitate with my Fantastic Floatation.

And so far, nobody has noticed that it's the same as the broomstick trick.

So what does this have to do with the Box levitation trick?

Well, like I said I continued to work on the Fantastic Floatation and brought it to market after levitating around the country with it.

Something happened right as the illusion was about to hit the market.

Another self levitation illusion came to me. This one was totally different, and much better than the first. Where the Fantastic Floatation required the jacket for cover between you and the floor while you levitated, this one did not. Where the Fantastic Floatation required you to wear a somewhat awkward gimmick on your person in order to perform it, this levitation trick did not.

In short.. I had discovered a new levitation illusion. But at the worst possible time. I had already sent my ad copy to various magazines and my first shipment of supplies to manufacture the tricks was already paid for and on it's way to me.

Now a NEW.. SUPERIOR self levitation system was trying to get my attention. One that wouldn't be so hard to manufacture at all. I knew this was the better trick. The levitation I was about to market was INFERIOR.

I knew what I had to do..

I decided I could never tell anyone about the second idea. I had to continue with my plan, marketing the Fantastic Floatation. I had to make people believe in the illusion. To make them believe I had to believe it myself. And to do that I had to literally erase the new levitation illusion from my mind. That is what I did. And I did it so well that it wasn't until over 10 years later that I remembered the illusion again.

I was actually severely broke when it popped back into my head. I hadn't been having very good luck inventing for some months previous so it was a bit of a Godsend.

I remember that I couldn't pay my $400 rent and I had 48 hours to pay or get out. So I made one model of the new levitation with items I had around the house and hurried out to Gary Darwin's Las Vegas weekly magic meeting to see if I could impress anyone enough with the thing to get them to buy it.

The levitation ended up wowing the entire place. The reaction honestly far exceeded my expectations. I can remember Paul Harris standing about 6 feet away from me with the entire club behind him. As I began to levitate his jaw dropped. Seconds later, he dropped.. literally dropped to the floor and began worshiping me and my little blue milk crate in the traditional, "I'm not worthy" Wayne and Garth SNL style.

Kevin James was there that night as well, watching and smiling. When the excitement died down Kevin approached me and asked me the question I wanted (needed) to hear more than anything.

K: "How much are you going to sell it for?"

S: "$100 each with basically just a manuscript. Anyone can build it"

K: "Can you have 10 ready for me by tomorrow? I'm leaving for a lecture, I'll pay you cash for them now."

Well now! I'll wholesale them for $50 to Kevin.. times 10 pieces is... RENT MONEY!

Ah, the wonders of magic.

So that is the story of the self levitation illusion that haunted me for 10 years. And came back to me when I needed it most.
