Magician picks up ladders an places one at
each end of the front of the platform. |
The board is then placed across the ladders, making a bridge. |
 |
 |
A strip of cloth is rolled out along
the board, making a soft pad for the lady to lie upon. |
Lady now lies down on the board, face
up, arms comfortably folded. |
|
 |
Magician raises the head end of the
board a bit, enough to remove the ladder with other hand.
Ladder is set as far away as possible, completely
off the platform at the rear.
The board with the lady now suspends out from
the other ladder without falling. |
The other ladder is now also removed
from under the board and set off the platform to the rear as well.
Lady on the board is now floating in the air.
Magician now walks completely around the whole set-up, proving there are
no connections to drapes or other stage props. |
 |
 |
Magician steps up on platform behind
lady, again moving both ladders still further out of the way.
He holds a hoop up to show it is solid. |
He then sweeps it down over lady one
time only, starting at her feet, across her body , off at her head and up into the air again.

He now walks around to the front side
of lady. ( the audience side ) He walks the hoop over her again, passing
it over her feet, along her body and and off at her head, then off to the
footlights to show up-close that it is a simple solid hoop. |

Lady on board appears to be freely floating
in the air with no visible means of support. The eyes and minds of the audience
simply cannot believe what they are seeing, and well deserved bows are now
taken.
The ladders are then replaced under board
again. The lady is helped off the board and assisted back to her seat in
the audience. She is just as fooled as everyone else.
Magician takes his final bows. |
