How To Levitate A Paper Cup (Easy But Looks Decieving) — Free Magic Tricks

How To Levitate A Paper Cup (Easy But Looks Decieving)

by Magical G on May 18, 2009 · 49 comments

Have you ever wanted to make stuff levitate?

Today’s trick won’t fool the millions but it will still get people going… “Huh?”… for at least a few seconds. It’s a nice trick to perform at a party, but probably not appropriate if you want to be like Chris Angel of David Copperfield ;)

Extra Tips For Rounding Off This Trick

  • Use the gag of the water disappearing to stick your thumb in the cup.
  • Do the trick while you are just drinking something. Perform it like your thinking of it spontaneously!
  • Once again, just because it is easy, it doesn’t mean the trick is not magical!
  • Create some emotion to your audience with what you are saying.
  • Make sure to have fun with this trick… I know I do!

brandon, ruff here i can tell you as a magician that it is very important not to rush to learn as many tricks as you can, it is better to take a few tricks and practice until you are an expert at those few tricks, and also keep a record of them so that later you will refer back to them and say, oh yeah i remember that one . good luck and you have chosen a great path , just dont get discouraged if you have some non believers, Russ
