Levitate a chubby.

I love this post on the cafe...

In short the guy is saying "I don't have a female assistant so I am using my wife, she's a fat ass and will bend any levitation frame/harness system known to man. Where can I get a super strength X frame from?"

Think of your audience man - who really wants to see a chubby chops flopping all over the stage?

Most guys who go to illusion shows or take their familes to illusion shows don't go for the illusion (unless you're a geeky magician). They go to see semi-naked babes strutting their stuff, and contorting themselves into boxes. And while their wives and children applaud the magic they are spanking their monkey while they imagine how useful that pose she just did would be in the bedroom.

On a serious note, I'd suggest to 'MagicalPirate' who asked the question that he shouldn't bother with a levitation but follow the other chain of thought he mentions in that post...

anyone can make a skinny girl disappear (just stand her sideways) or make her disembodied. But a big girl, now thats quite something that will get a lot of attention.

Yeah it will get attention. People love a laugh. But if you must do this then I believe if you ask around someone can point you in the right direction of the people who build those elephant vanishes.

MW.

  • Magic Whack, are you sure you're not posting as "Magic Pirate"?

    The original post sounds like a spoof. Like, "What's the most ludicrous, over-the-top satire of a clueless dumbfuck magician that I can imagine?"

    As dense as this guy is, he seems to realize that his request to levitate his gargantuan wife is rife with comic possibilities.

    As long as shit like this exists in the "magic" community, all of us will be regarded as hacks by association, and you'll always have plenty of material to work with.
