  • Levitation Dollar Floating Magic Trick Revealed! Share with friends! Subscribe here: bit.ly/10GNiYs Follow me on Facebook: bit.ly/RichFB Here's a science trick that allows you to look like a REAL magician without wires, magnets or various dexterous handling or gizmos that most of us don't want to spend years mastering. Plus, you can do this anytime with a few moments preparation. This is KILLER at parties, school or at the office. Levitating something between your hands is about as cool as it gets. Now you can fool your friends too! The secret to levitation is revealed using NO MAGIC TRICKS! You are welcome;)
    First, learn a simple trick with a straw you can do anytime, anywhere. Then, once you've mastered the basic idea, take it to the next level by looking like you have real magic powers by floating a small object between your hands. Dollar, foam, cup, wool, paper and more. This site explains the range of charges and the process very well: science.howstuffworks.com/tran...
    BTW, once you figure out this TRICK, share it with friends and try to fool them!!

    @danfelbm 10 років тому +197

    just a tip for everyone.. its all about the static on your hands, and there are more methods to achieve it, rubbing your hands against a carpet, balloons, there's the "school desk" method; just be careful not to touch metal or make contact with materials / objects that could release the energy before its used on small objects...

    I've been into magic for more than 10 years, and although I know a lot of different methods to levitate an object, this is by far the best and most legitimate. Yes, there's a bit of set up beforehand, but it's worth it. You may fail a few, or tons of times at the beginning, like I did, but eventually you can master it. So far I've achieved to hold it for 3 seconds about 2cm apart each side. I'm working my way up to about 5 seconds 5cm apart each side.
    Thumb up, fellow magicians, so people can really learn this.
    Peace.

    @bullsquid42 10 років тому +286

    So this really isn't a trick at all...
    I mean you are actually levitating a dollar between your hands.
    I didn't expect that

  • @EFXOfficial
    @EFXOfficial 10 років тому +74

    Is there some sort of ratio that can determine how long your hands stay charged i.e amount of rubbing/object = So many seconds/minutes of charged hands?

  • @jedidiahgambito8330
    @jedidiahgambito8330 10 років тому +1

    The negative causes repelling and possitive causes attraction but positive and negative is equal to stick together by charge and when positive and posive go to each other they go away so thats how it worked thanks!

  • @ameenmookhith7340
    @ameenmookhith7340 10 років тому +44

    Another way to make static charge is by clapping rapidly for a minute and wave your hands (don't touch anything ) and you will get static charge

    It makes sense. I do this trick all the time at the laundromat in the winter time. You don't need the 2 straws at all in the laundry. It only works in dry weather in the winter. I walk up to anyone taking their clothes out the drier and ask them if they want to see a trick. They ALWAYS say yes, I ask them for a dollar which they always have, and I take their clothes out the drier and throw it in the cart as fast as possible. That builds the charge, so then I palm the bill and let go super quick!

  • @MennoY0uTube
    @MennoY0uTube 10 років тому +5

    It took some time mastering this, but people love it when you perform this for them. Any ideas on how to hide the charging process from your audience so people think it's really magic in stead of simple physics?
