Flying Carpet IllusionA small platform on casters is rolled to any spot on the floor.
Resting on the platform is a beautifully decorated two fold screen.
It supports a platform with gold fringe representing a carpet.
The carpet seat is tuffed and padded for comfort and it shows up well at a distance.
A person weighing up to 170 pounds (75 Kilos) sits cross legged on the carpet.
Then two chrome like swords are placed on the bottom platform and secured to the underside of the carpet to further support it.
Now the screen is moved off the platform and onto the floor, away from the carpet!!!
The swords are then removed and waved over, under, and around the carpet as it stays suspended in mid-air! But wait, here's the best part.
The magician waves his hand toward the carpet and it slowly revolves.
All four sides are seen.
Then a solid hoop is passed over the person and the carpet, then taken away.
The NEW gimmick weight is only 10 lbs (4.5 Kilos), yet, it holds up to 170 pounds, (75 Kilos), without swaying. The entire outfit packs flat for easy transportation.
Comes complete with everything but the hoop.
Use a Hula Hoop, which is available at most large toy stores.
