He He I enjoyed this illusion, VERY cool. I know how its done. but has any one here performed this themselves ? my IT cant support the weight of my magic bulb "which I picked up at a magic shop nearby" any one know what kind of IT Im sopposed to use ?

theres a site around some where that sells the set up, but it uses a hanky instead or i think a ghost like item.

ya ive seen the one with the hankie too, i think in genii mag

hmm.. im gonna rip apart my bulb and make it as light as possible and try again. I'm using kevlar btw.. and Im not using any elastic tension, Im actually trying to do it with a ( sag ) to reduce any breaking.

you dont use IT, you use this prop called "the levitator" penguin sells it in the SOC for like $6.00

hmm Ill give that a try... but in the mean time Ill fiddle with the IT. tnx though

Could someone tell me where to get the stuff to do this trick? I know how its done, I just don't know where to get the stuff to do it, like the light bulb or the it, if thats the way to go.

um BC I dont think they used the levitator. this was done in a brightly lit up area, and the bulb was floating across, this is making me think it was the blackstones floating bulb.

and for the question right above this, I think u can get those bulbs at a magic shop. for about $6

Is this the same effect Harry Blackstone Jr. was doing in the 70s and 80s? and if it is, why are you calling it the Criss Angel floating light bulb? (I don't know if it is or it isn't because I don't watch his show).

I was just calling it criss angels because he performed it last week...and I didnt know it was blackstones.

thanks about the bulb, but what kind of IT?

I have no idea. :S Im using kevlar- sorcery manufacturing, but its not strong enough, and I tried doubling it, but it becomes very visible, unless the room has no light.

That is a TT with a suction thing on it...duhduhda

I was wondering how he does that lightbulb thing. Can someone tell me how he does it? I really want to know.

that would be asking for exposure, which is against forum rules......

From reading this thread, it sais that his effect is called the blackstones floating bulb. Where can you get this effect?
