The Thing can be performed from any angle, ensuring that spectators, no matter their position, will be completely mystified by its workings.

After years of research and development, Bill Abbott presents a routine that has been refined through real-world performances and feedback from magicians globally. The Thing is versatile, fitting seamlessly into various styles, whether you specialize in bizarre magic, mentalism, comedy, or stage illusions.

Routine Overview: At any moment during your act, reveal a clear plastic box that appears completely empty. Open the lid and drape an empty cloth handkerchief over the box. Suddenly, a shape rises from the box beneath the cloth, hovering in mid-air. The audience can see the levitation clearly from all angles, with no visible support. Lift a corner of the cloth to reveal the object has vanished, leaving the cloth empty in your hands. With a simple gesture, the object can reappear, float away horizontally, or soar above the audience’s heads. Conclude by placing the object back into the box, closing the lid, and bowing to a roaring applause!
