The secret to self levitating yourself is all about angles. You need to be about 5 - 6 feet away from the spectator and you need to be at a 45 degree angle facing away from them. All you need to do is to push off the ground with the toes of the foot that is farthest away from the spectator (figure 1). Don't go too high, or they will be able to see the foot below your other foot. After you have been levitating for a couple of seconds, slam back down to the floor. Don't do this more than a couple times to the same person, because they will figure out the secret.
Practice this over and over in front of a mirror, so that you can get all of the angles right. Another good way to practice is to let a freind in on the secret and practice with them as the spectator. |
