This gigantic encyclopedia is in response to the demand for comprehensive and accurate information concerning suspensions and levitations. It supplies the answers to hundreds of questions raised by professional and amateur magicians alike. A complete selection of all known methods of suspensions and levitations to enable a performer to select those which best suit his needs. In addition, S.H. Sharpe has provided a complete chronology of the levitation , covering its history from the earliest recorded account (1355) to modern times. Entries of concurrent political, social and intellectual history have been added to give the reader a historical background to the evolution of the levitation. The act of levitating a person has remained the most entrancing and talked about illusion of all time. Audiences still marvel at the sight of a person floating freely in mid air and remaining there under the magician's control. Every great magician has featured the levitation-Thurston, Dante, Blackstone, Kalanag, Sorcar, Mark Wilson, Henning, Copperfield, and many others. This deluxe hardbound book is divided into sections on suspension, levitation, Asrah, novel ideas and presentations, the contemporary wizard, historical chronology, and sources. With over 250 illustrations and a complete index, this is a must for the serious performer.
