Free Levitation Magic the Spinning Card
Free levitation magic tricks are the ones I get asked day in, day out to add more of. So without further ado I present the spinning card trick. Although similar to the Bottle Cap Levitation with this effect there is more scope for a few 'tricks' as you will see.

THE EFFECT: The magician is able to make an ordinary playing card spin off the top of the deck, levitating between his hands the card is totally under the magician's control. The card floats from one hand to the other, floats up and back down and even around the magicians body 360 degrees!

After the effect spectators examine the playing card and find it is completely normal. Watch the effect in action below then learn free levitation magic. I will break every bit down for you in easy bite sized chunks...
THE SECRET: For this free levitation magic trick you are going to need a pack of playing cards and some trusty magicians thread (invisible thread). You can pick some up from your local magic dealer or as part of my FreeMagicTricks4u Kit. You are also going to need some magicians wax (also included in my kit) or a small piece of clear tape.

First attach some magicians wax or clear tape to both ends of the invisible thread. You want a length of thread that reaches roughly from your earlobe to your groin area. (This is a rough estimate and you will need to see what length works best for you).

Stick one end of the thread to the back of your earlobe. let the thread hang down in front of you. Place the other end of the thread to the back of your thumb nail or wrist. Somewhere you can easily access when you need to. When you are ready to perform the trick hand out the deck of cards to the spectators to examine and/or shuffle.

This is just to get them handling the cards to show them that they are totally normal. Take back the deck and as you do secretly stick the end of the thread directly onto the middle of the top card (pic 1).

    When conducting the experiment, we used a ticker tape and ticker tape timer because it could measure the distance travelled by the object (the weight) in a given time. For every second which passed, 60 dots would appear on the tape (6 dots for every 0.1 seconds). We would drop the object from the height of a table (83 cm) and attached to the object would be the ticker tape. We stuck the tape onto the weight and held the timer so that the tape would be leave the tape and going straight down. If we would place the ticker tape timer onto the table, it would hit the edge of the table and form a 90 degree and angle and then be pulled by the object. This would cause friction and reduce the accuracy of our…

    The ‘grandfather of hypnosis’ is probably universally thought to be an Austrian doctor called Franz Anton Mesmer (1733-1815). He believed that a cosmic fluid could be stored in inanimate objects, such as magnets, and be transferred to patients to cure them of their illnesses. Mesmer believed that the ‘cosmic fluid’, stimulated by the magnets, was directed through the patient’s body and restored energy that was required for healing. Eventually he discarded the magnets and regarded his own body as the magnet through which the fluid life force could be conducted. Hence the term ‘animal magnetism’. There was no scientific basis to his work but he had tremendous success leading to the presumption that his patients were ‘mesmerized’ into believing and expecting that they could be cured. After Mesmer’s death one of his disciples Marquis de Puysegur believed that the cosmic fluid was not of magnetic origin but electric fluid that was generated in all living things. He used trees to distribute this force to his patients through cords that hung from the branches. He noticed that some of his patients entered a deep sleep during his process. In this state they could still communicate, be lucid and responsive to the suggestions of the mesmerist.…

    The term “Hypnosis” often conveys images of a strange, powerful Svengali-like character swinging a pendulum, dressed flamboyantly, getting the hypnotised subject to behave in ways they wouldn’t ordinarily behave. He is a creepy character with spirals for eyes, who exerts power and control over his subjects for his own personal gain. There is a stage full of mind-controlled individuals completely at the mercy of this character, and it is only at his will will they be released from the strange trance-like state he has put them under. We might visualise Paul McKenna or Derren Brown, modern day hypnotists, making those “victims” perform silly or embarrassing stunts on stage for the amusement of the audience. The public’s misconception that hypnotism is somehow connected to the occult has arisen due to the evil hypnotists portrayed in Hollywood movies and also watching stage hypnotists perform such acts on stage. Stage hypnosis is performed by such characters above for amusement and entertainment, hypnosis used in a therapeutic setting is purely for the benefit of the subject.…

    “Magic” can be loosely summed up as a cognitive intuition or belief in the existence of imperceptible forces or essences that transcend the usual boundary between the mental/symbolic and physical/material realities, in a way that (1) diverges from the received wisdom from the technocratic elite, (2) serves important functions, and (3) follows the principles of similarity and contagion.…

    He makes sure to stack them high enough. During the show, the magician has to be careful when he walks around so he doesn't accidentally knock over the bricks, then comes the trick. When his assistant lies down, she looks like she's floating, but she's really just laying down on the Compressed Air Bricks! Another trick is the cabinet escape which is a classic escapology trick, where the magician is trapped in a cabinet and required to escape from it. Often, the magician can be bound in handcuffs, rope and sacks before being placed in the cabinet. Some escapes involving a performer in a box or crate are just upstaged versions of classic cabinet escape. The magician has already escaped from the cabinet via a cabinet escape method before it is even placed in the predicament situation. Another famous trick is the ambitious card or elevator card. This is when a playing card seems to return to the top of the deck after being placed elsewhere in the middle of the deck. This is a classic effect in card magic and serves as a study subject for students of magic. Most of the card performing magicians has developed his own way to do it. (Magic of Magicians.

    Hypnosis as we know it today was first associated with the work of an Austrian physician named Franz Anton Mesmer. In the 1700s, Mesmer believed that illnesses were caused by magnetic fluids in the body getting out of balance. This he associated to the influence of the planets on the human body. He used magnets and other hypnotic techniques (the word “mesmerized” comes from his name) to treat people. Mesmer chose his term to clearly distinguish his variant of magnetic force from those referred to at the time as mineral magnetism, cosmic magnetism and planetary magnetism. Mesmer felt that this particular force/power only resided in the bodies of humans and animals.…
