The Icarus Effect by Aaron Paterson

The Ultimate in, Practical, Un-assisted Self Levitation by Aaron Paterson.

Imagine this: You stand face to face with someone, your back to a curb, step or staircase. Your participant holds his/her hands out, palms up, while you place your hands, palms down, lightly on top of theirs.

By applying minimal pressure to the spectator’s hands you are able to apparently levitate up on to the top of the step.

As you levitate and float upward, the participant can clearly see under both of your feet, seeing both of your heels and toes rising off of the ground. As if that were not enough, you then calmly float off of the curb and back down to the ground and are clean to walk away.

That’s right. No get-ready. No clean-up.

Anywhere. Anytime.

Once the gimmick is assembled at home, there is nothing else to “set” for a performance. You can be ready to demonstrate Icarus Effect without notice.

Like we said… Anywhere. Anytime.

With this breakthrough effect there are no mechanical looking movements whatsoever. If you could REALLY levitate, this is EXACTLY how it would look. You perform this levitation literally right under the spectators’ noses and yet you will leave them absolutely stunned.

Speed and height of levitation are under the performer’s control at all times.

Effect is limited only by your imagination.

No electronics, pneumatics or hydraulics of any kind. No wires. No rigging.

No kidding.
