Please everybody, keep this underground is possible, I want it a complete secret. A creation of mine while practicing ripping up cards from an old deck; I came upon something extremely neat, and invisible.

The effect: A card levitates an inch above the top of the deck. If you watch the end of http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=TG32uLYRV-M it sort of looks like that, but WAY more fair. You can look right underneath the card. I have about 4 handlings, on the go handling, unprepared setup, the gimmick, etc. It looks incredibly fair, better than Eggink's in the video as it levitates higher and is done on a completely flat hand (and of course can be shown under the card). Tell me what you guys think!

I will show Michael when we jam (hopefully on tomorrow if he contacts me!)

I believe this is my real break in creating magic, I've finally got a winner!

And, it's viewable from almost every angle, there is nothing to hide. In the end, there is nothing to ditch; no palming, no cover-ups, everything is examinable. And no, when you find out the method, you won't go AWW THAT'S A LET DOWN!

This sounds like an old Floating Card marketed by Royal Magic.... hopefully, it isn't. It sounds very interesting, for sure, and I'd love to see it.

The Royal Magic one doesn't use a TT either.

Tomorrow, Neighbours? I'll get back to you on that.

And I can't go on MSN, there's someone stalking me who won't let up.... he's been bugging my sister for hours and if I sign on, I will be bombarded.

Just sign on and block him quickly, I have to talk to you, and I REALLY want to show you this. If one is not original, a handling will be, because they're different.

DANG this looks good! Many of Reuben's creations have yet to positively wow me but I am full ready to admit that I am positively wowed. The illusion is near perfect and not a word of Reuben's "ad copy" is a lie... you CAN see directly under the card and it looks INSANE!
