Don’t assume this is the same magic floating card trick you get taught in a basic magic starter kit. This is far more than simply making a playing card fly around, this is a professional solid routine built on years of practice and exploring different possibilities.

From updated classics to new effects, this download is bound to teach you something new, whether you are an old hand with thread or completely new. Leon has also taken Bob Hummer's original classic and has developed it to allow you to animate two cards at the same time.

Leon devoted a long time to practice and polish his routines, you see this in his choreography and convincing performance. Even if you know the basic method of the floating card trick, you will love watching Leon’s flawless, smooth performance, and his technique will make this a feature effect in your magic.

'Being a thread worker for more than 15 years... you will find here Gold tips that you won't find anywhere else! I'm only 12 min ahead of the video instructions but already saying WOW!' - Lseeyou - The Magic Cafe Review

To start your training, Leon shows you the basics of wax and thread handling and preparation. You will then learn the "Speed Hookup" which is, at its heart, a devious type of LeClair hookup. You won't have seen this technique for anchoring used before... waxless anchoring to the body? that's right... the advantages are a working magician's dream!

This extensive video is more than 50 minutes of teaching. He explains which type of thread he uses in his routine and how to prepare it; of course, you can use your own prefered type of thread or buy the type he uses cheaply.

He teaches his own hookup method, which is very suitable for this type of effect. The Hookup doesn't need you to stick magician wax in your body. Also, this hookup allows you to get a few extra inches of thread if you ever snap it, so it is kind of a simple invisible thread reel built into your body hookup.

He explains his moves to control card levitation, how to flick the card and how to avoid some common problems which you may face.

Here's Leon performing his Floating Card live in a bar. It's raw footage shot on the spectator's phone! Be warned, there's a little strong language from the freaked-out audience!

Haunted Deck:

He uses his own hookup and handling to make a deck of playing cards cut itself to a spectator’s card. You can give everything for examination. We saw similar effects where performers put the deck inside card boxes or in their own hands or even on the ground, but in this version, you put the deck on the table and make the deck cut itself without any apparent move from the performer.

Cap and Glass:

This is an entertaining multi-phase routine where a normal bottle cap jumps from the cup to the performer’s hand, other phases have multiple jumps from cup to cup and jumps after into the performer’s palm.

What's not to like:

The double floating card needs practice to make it work smoothly and to understand how to untangle th***ds so it will take a little time to master. It is not really negative because it is the nature of magic to practice and practice.

What to love:

He shows which type of materials you can use so you can buy it very cheaply or use your own thread.

The teaching is very good, and he uses visible threads also for the explanation.

A new take in thread hookup and floating card.
