MODERN LEVITATIONS. By U. F. Grant.

Since the days of Robert Houdin the tour de force of big illusion shows has been the levitation, and this effect is associated in the minds of audiences with high-class entertainment at its best. The ambition of practically every magician is to present a levitation as the featured attraction of his performance, and, heretofore, this dream has been realised only by a select few because of the expense and cumbersomeness of the equipment. M OD ER N LE VI T AT I ON S i s an innovat innovat i on as i t bri br i ngs ng s for the first time audience-tested and thoroughly practical levitation methods which may be used under all conditions— in the centre of a ballroom floor, in one's own parlour, or on the stages of the largest theatres. H erein are are desc ribed in detail versions that will appeal to every taste and pocket-book, and which can be put into effect with a minimum of apparatus, and, in some cases, on almost a moment's notice with material that can be found in any home. I feel that the magic fraternity owes to Mr. U. F. Grant a debt of gratitude for the issuance of MODERN LEVITATI ONS. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, IV.
