The Balducci Levitation

     

    The Trick

    This is a simple deception and as long as the audience are sufficiently misdirected it should be ok.

     

    How

    The magician positions himself at an angle to his audience a little distance away, in such a way that the audience can only see the rearward portion of one foot and most of the other foot -- concealing the toe end of the 'far' (upstage) foot. The audience group must be small enough that they can be grouped close together.

     

    The magician stands on the front of one foot, while raising the one foot and the visible part of his other foot, blocking the view of the front of the supporting foot with the other foot and rear part of the supporting foot.

    That's just the basics, you can always mould and change tricks to suit you and yur audience. It is all for show.
