One of the popular ways to achieve levitation, just few inches above the ground can easily be done by a trick known as Balducci’s Levitation. Balducci’s Levitation is merely a way to deceive people into believing that, what they are observing is actual levitation. To achieve the full deception, angle of watching is central. The audience should be observing from 45 degree angle. The technique can be perfected at home by watching oneself in the mirror.
The audience seated at 45 degree angle would only be able to see one foot clearly. What anybody like David Blaine has to do is to lift one foot above the ground just a few inches while balancing on the second foot. As the foot in front of the viewers is lifted, performer balances himself on the toe of the second foot – one that is not in front of the audience. The synchronicity of the action creates the deception of levitation. A little practice of the trick and you are ready to go.
Other more pronounced levitation performances are even easier with a video of the performer actually been lifted through a hook at the back of the performer, and mixing it with the video of cheering viewers. Obviously the video of being lifted up does not show all the back ground stuff like hooks and people standing behind doing the actual lifting.
How come he makes other objects levitate above his head like a leaf? Simple: purchase an invisible thread or make one yourself by separating a single strand of polyester. The light object like a leaf is knotted with the thread and the other end is stuck to some high place. Performer has one end in his hand but all the viewers can see is that he is giving instructions to the leaf.
