floating note magic trick
Tuesday, May 29th, 2007Floating Note
There is a thin strip of clear plastic, just a bit shorter than the note itself,and about 1cm wide.(i found that a scrap piece of plastic laminate works well).Attach to the underside of the note lengthways, secured by a piece of tape or magicians wax in the centre (i find that magicians wax is better because you can perform it impromptu) lay the note across your palm, with one end of the plastic strip contacting just under the joint on your thumb, and the other contacting the fleshy part of your pinky. Now just move your thumb and pinky slowly inwards, the plastic strip will bend upwards, thus raising the note! tada! another note can be passed under it to show “no support”!
Note: the plastic strip should have a small triangle cut out of each end to aid the grip on your pinky and thumb. (the ends look kinda like a forked toungue shape!like a snake!) I tried to put a pic on but it wont work for me, hence the long explanation!! It is a good effect - hope this helps.
