FAQs

What age group is this kit suitable for?

The Levitation Magic kit is suitable for a wide range of ages, typically recommended for ages 8 and up, as it requires patience and the ability to follow instructions. Adults can also enjoy learning these illusions.

Do I need any special equipment not included in the box?

While the kit provides many props, some tricks might utilize common household items or objects you already own. The instructions will specify if any additional items are needed.

How long does it take to learn a trick?

The time it takes to learn a trick varies depending on its complexity and the individual's practice. Simpler tricks might be mastered in minutes, while more advanced illusions could take hours of practice to perform smoothly.

Are the online videos available indefinitely?

The availability of online videos can vary. It is recommended to watch and learn the tricks as soon as possible after purchasing the kit.

Can I perform these tricks for a large audience?

Some tricks are better suited for close-up performances with a few people, while others, like the self-levitation illusion, can be performed for larger audiences. The instructions or videos may provide guidance on presentation for different settings.

Is the 'levitate yourself' trick real magic?

The 'levitate yourself' trick is a carefully constructed illusion designed to create the appearance of defying gravity. It relies on clever staging, misdirection, and often hidden support, rather than actual magical powers.

What skills will I develop by using this kit?

Using this kit can help develop confidence, public speaking and performance skills, hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and problem-solving abilities as you learn to master the illusions.

Troubleshooting

A trick is not working as expected.

Re-read the step-by-step instructions carefully. Re-watch the online instructional video for that specific trick, paying close attention to the secret move or technique. Ensure you are using the correct props and performing the actions at the right moment.

Objects are not levitating convincingly.

Ensure you are using lightweight objects for practice. Check that your performance area is not windy or has vibrations that could affect the illusion. Practice the secret mechanics until they are smooth and undetectable.

Difficulty understanding a specific step.

Pause and rewind the online instructional video at the challenging step. Try practicing that specific movement in isolation without the rest of the trick. If possible, ask a friend to watch you perform the step to see if they can identify any issues.

The 'levitate yourself' illusion does not look convincing.

This is an illusion and requires careful staging and presentation. Focus on the misdirection and the performer's reaction. Ensure the audience's viewing angle is controlled to maintain the illusion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No complex setup is required for the Levitation Magic kit itself. The primary 'setup' involves learning the individual tricks. Begin by carefully reading the step-by-step instructions for each illusion. It is recommended to watch the accompanying online instructional videos to fully grasp the mechanics and presentation of each trick before attempting it.

Compatibility: This kit is designed to be used by individuals and does not rely on electronic compatibility with other devices, beyond the use of your own cell phone for specific tricks (which is not required for the trick itself but can be part of the performance). The tricks are designed to work with common objects found around the house or easily obtainable.

Care: To maintain the quality of the kit's components, store them in a cool, dry place. Ensure any props used are clean before and after performances. For the instructional materials (booklets and online videos), ensure you keep your access information handy if applicable.
