New Levitation in the Learning

This is a magical levitation that was suggested to me by Matthew Roddy.
It looks a great deal like Tesla's Egg for those who are fellow Tesla fans.
I originally shot this from a "wide" angle so that there would be no suspicion of camera tricks, but found the coin was too hard to see, hence the close ups.
I plan to put the wide shot on a separate web page, along with several other angles and some explanations.
The magic looked as strange to me doing it as it looks in the video.
There is no CGI (I wouldn't even know how), and this can be done live.
I hope you enjoy it and will pass it on to many friends!

amateur videos can be basically cut chopped edited and manipulated however the person creating it chooses.my assessment is the coin has a slight but noticeable pendulum swing as if it were on nylon thread, also the anchor point on the coin is not square to the emblem which tells me slight miscalculation, the lighting and the shadow of the coin on the hand at the end is also curious,apart from that dont know, good trick. i wonder how magicians would act if they truly did posses these powers, hmmm

@jamoxesox Thank you, great comment! My editing skills aren't good enough yet to do CGI, so everything was filmed as it appeared while doing it. I also liked your last comment. There's an old joke about the magician who got REAL powers!!! So, he went out and REALLY linked the rings, and REALLY made the rabbit appear in the hat etc. :-)

I'd like to see the hand move all the way around the coin instead of close and away. In comparison to your other video with your son and his "jetpack", I think you have a knack for editing strings out of the video. Clearly not CGI.

Thanks!

I'm happy to say that in the case of this video, nothing was edited out (beyond choosing the best angles/shots), and it is something that can be done live, though it's tricky... I did a VERSION of this for several years at close-up magic shows. Come to think of it, I'm not sure why I stopped! :-)

Thanks again!

Hey man, awesome video, awesome tricks... It must be such a compliment to you with all these people accusing you of CGI. Got my sub and 5 stars :D

Great Vid.

[noonco]

Thanks SO much! AND, thank you for telling me to look at those who claim it's CGI as a compliment! I was a little frusterated that people thought it was CGI, but you've given me a way to see that as a plus!

Thanks again!

Well CGI would be a valid claim, however relevant to this video considering your video on how to "Levitate small objects" were some relatively quality video editing was achieved...but if you can do it close up, more power to you, i don;t ever doubt anyone until i see them eff it up in person.
