Hey there, I'm working on a floating rose rounite that uses the old hook to your thumb up to the ceiling around 2 hooks and back down to your other thumb. What type of t****d do you use and what type of back drop works the best also lighting. Thanks, Jeff |

| That's sound too complicate. What wrong with Kevin James floating rose's method. It's the best so far |
|

| I didn't explain my self to good. I'm using a silk rose to float around and not flash paper |

You are thinking more along the lines of a floating ball. I used to perform that, but it is a very complex set-up. As far as lighting you need to stay away from yellow and red and stick with blue, green and rose on a solid color background. If you have the luxery of a mylar backdrop then lighting isn't really an issue at all. MDS |

The routine would be similar. For T just use any good black line at the hobby store. It seems the new backdrop of choice is the 'eyelash' material. |

Thanks wmhegbli that's the answer I was looking for. I'm not using the Kevin James method of flaoting a paper rose (flash paper), I'm using a silk rose to float around like a ball or a light bulb. Jeff |

| The Burling Hull book should still be available from Abbott's Magic. There is Floating book by a german available that should give you all the info you need by Braco. |

I recommend Yigal Mesika´s Spider Pen: the thread that's included is very good. I always test the thread before any performance: just pull out thread and go to the spectators view point and watch for any glitches on the thread. Check out Spider Pen: http://www.yigalmesika.com/ Kevin James Floating Rose: http://www.kjmagic.com/catalog/videos.html |

Here is something just released, no clue how good it is: Floating & Bowing Rose w/ Cloth $29.95 Floating Rose with a Knock-Out Climax! Cloth Included with Ingenious Rose Display a long stem Rose as completely normal , or remove it from a vase on your table. Show a patterned cloth front & back, nothing inside at all! The Rose begins to float & dance behind the cloth! Both your hands are holding the far ends of the cloth, an elegant floating illusion. Perform all the moves side to side & up & down similar to a Zombie Ball. After the Floating fun, set the cloth aside & show the Rose its time for your bow. The Rose Bud BENDS DOWN 90 degrees taking a deserved bow!! Fantastic Climax |

| What I found out is if you run a black marker on the IT thread...it becomes magically invisible. I could honestly say, I lost the thread there for a second after I ran the black 'El Marko' on the thread. Works better with a black coat/shirt on too. |
