Liberal Levitation �
TRICK EFFECT & ROUTINE: You levitate off the ground and then spin 180 degrees in the air; you spin back and the float to the floor.
PREPARATION: This is the exact instruction on how to make it, I don’t get it but maybe some of you will.
METHOD: There is a wooden, door wedge hidden inside the bottom/sole of one of the
shoes. The shoes must have thick rubber soles (I guess wooden soles would work . You cut out the shape of the wedge from the sole of the shoe so the
wedge will fit perfect. When you rotate, the friction of the ground keeps the wedge in place while the rest of the shoe turns. The wedge in the new position creates a fulcrum to levitation on!
This is the shape of the wedge if you could see through the side-bottom of the shoe, as it will be during non-performance:
NOTE: The third side I couldn't manage to draw is a "hypotenuse" from point 1 to point 2
1
Front of shoe 2 ______/
back of shoe
Bottom: wedge is disguised as part of bottom because the very bottom of the cutout is glued to the bottom of the wedge. In the exact center of the "hypotenuse" protrudes the end of a screw that goes through the wedge. This screw should protrude perpendicularly to the "hypotenuse" and should screw into the center of a small strip of wood glued to
the rubber in the cutout where the "hypotenuse" fits.
If you have the wedge disguised as part of the shoe like this (read the instructions carefully, it's the best I could do without an image) If you stand and turn 180 degrees, when you have put enough toil into the shoe, the wedge will rotate so it looks like
from the bottom of your shoe that you have a triangular fulcrum to balance on. Rotate back 180 degrees and you are set to walk comfortably and normally, and even show the
bottoms of the shoes from a short distance if you constructed the shoe with care. This takes some work, but is definitely worth the time when you perfect your shoe!!!
