Cabaret Asrah Levitation Plans
Effect:
The magician invites his assistant
to lay down upon a low level couch and slowly sends her into a hypnotic trance.
She closes her eyes and he covers her entire body with a cloth shroud. The
girls profile is clearly visible through the shroud. The magician stands to one
side of the girls body and with a few mystical passes of his hand her body
slowly starts to levitate and rise off the couch. Higher and higher her body is
seen to float until her body is clear of the couch. Her body is floated around
the stage and around the performer. The shroud then descends back down to the
couch and the cover is removed to reveal the girl still asleep until awoke from
her floating trance. Alternatively if working in theatre once the girls
floating body has cleared the couch, stage curtains may be pulled in front of
the couch or the couch taken completely off stage and at the magicians command
the floating body under the cloth maybe made to vanish and the girl can
reappear at the back of the theatre to the surprise of the audience.
