Speaking of levitations. I have preformed the balducci (sp) and the king rising. My problem is that I preform it at quite a distance away from my audiance, would anyone be kind enough to allow me to have some pointers on how to do this at a closer distance. I have practiced countless times and am still a bit afraid to do it close up. Thank you.

With the Balducci specifically, its all about angles, and what the spectator "thinks" they saw.
When I perform it, I ask everyone to line up, and hold there hand out to see if they can "feel the energy" coming off of me. I then take 4 steps, about 6 feet ahead of them, and move in to the levitation. If you ever ask a spectator of mine what happened, they would say I went atleast a foot off the ground and that it happened right in front of them. To an extent, I was right in front of them. Though the feat itself was no where near to "right in front of them." Word of mouth is a wonderful thing! |

Unfortunately, have stopped doing the Balducci - seems nearly everyone in the UK knows how its done (even Ricky Jervais poked fun at the obviousness of the method in one of his stand up comedy acts). Oh well, will have to fork out some case for the Elevator - although this could well be no bad thing.

With that balducci, you are not going to want to be to far away from your spectators, you also don't want to have to many spectators for this. When I do the Balducci I do it for 1-3 people. Make sure you have control of your audience as well.
