I got some of this stuff... There's thread that's nearly impossible to see without bright light or a magnifying glass. You tape one end behind your ear and the other end you squish in a tiny rice grain sized ball of candle wax. Then you casually press the wax onto lightweight objects and practice wrapping the thread around different angles. Then slide your finger over the wax to unstick it and hang the item to the audience.
theres wax and magician string on BOTH hands its obvious because it stays in the same spot in between ur hands u gotta move it up and down a bit. so make the string do more than just sit perfectly still between ur hands
What color is the thread? Is it clear fishing line? I thought that was the way you did the trick, but was thrown off when you had the dollar floating inbetween your 2 hands and it wasn't 90% below your upper hand and not resting on your shirt. (3:10) Could you do a video demo where we can see the thread. It still baffels me. (Great showmanship!!!)
3. Put the tape behind your ear or on the top of your eyeglasses , behind the ear works good , the card should almost lay flat while Dangling ,learn to spin the card the way you fling a Frisbee or the opposite way. this is your start , you can play with the lengths of string to do different card or light weight levitations Practice , Practice this will take a week or month to get down good , you can start card floating by spinning the card with your two hands at the corners of the cards and spin
an impromptu like thread reel would work best in this situation. I would suggest IE-VECTRA. If you choose to do it with the hook up over the head, then I would suggest vectra virtuoso thread....simply the most "invisible" thread mere inches away from them
@elsavakilla you dont tape it, you have the string rig all ready done before you come to the bar or in front of the audience, and then you crumple the dollar around the thread and rest it in your palm. hope this helped.
Good job, when I do this trick I like to have the thread run from my mouth and attached to a glass on the bar, then bi-fold the bill over the thread standing up like a pup tent. Then I use my tongue and hands to have it dance around and leap into the glass.
how is the thread configured around your ear? because it seems like it moves impossibly far to the left and right. also, the examples of other street magicians move the cigarette and whatever vertically too.
firstly, notice how he is in a black room wearing a black shirt. I hate invisible string for just that reason. In many rooms you can easily see the string. Also, maybe I watch too many sci-fi movies but my vision of an object floating is that it moves fluidly without wobbling or shaking in mid air. The fact that the bill shakes in mid air is very supicious. I love how Yigal Mesika spins the ring with his tarantula. Makes it less obvious that he is using string.
Regardless of the negative feedback on here. I thought you did a magnificent job on the levitation effect's. Not sure if your new to magic. However I've been into magic off and on since age 8. Of course I know what it's like to get all types of feedback. Keep up the great work. I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial
He says this at one point: "You just need the levitation-kit..." which I gather would be some string and some wax, which you can probably buy at a hobby-store or at their website if you're lucky
can someone explain me correctly what is the wax that he is using? you say "its what is on a candle" but i cant see it.... can someone explain what EXACTLY is he using?
that's neat, but can it be explained more in depth including a close-up visual demonstration about how the thread is attached to the ear, what kind of thread is it exactly, and what type of wax is used. There's thousands of waxes on the market. I would guess maybe it's beezwax because it's soft and sticky or the type of wax used to prevent braces from cutting the insides of your cheeks. it's a little bit soft and sticky but wouldn't leave as much residue as beezwax does.
There's a thing called magicians wax mix on the market made for this sort of thing. There's also extremely thin, virtually invisible thread meant for levitation. I recommend amazon, they have everything.
Another ways is to make static charge by clapping rapidly for a minute and then wave *DO NOT TOUCH ANY THING!* then you get a dollar/pound/euro bill and you can basicly do it, you will have a weird fealing on your hands by that time.
You attach one end to your ear, and one end on your shirt, when the time comes take it off your shirt and place it on the card. make the string go inbetween your pointed finger and thumb, to manipulate it. Remember this is a free tutorial, if you want 100% tutorial buy the black box
thanks for sharing but just like cris angel does you cut the camera angle before you levitated the dollar. So We dont see you so the whole setup which can be difficult. Nice trick though. Next tiem show it after your doing it without cutting the camera. will seem more realistic.
wax /waks/ Noun A sticky yellowish moldable substance secreted by honeybees as the material of honeycomb; beeswax. Verb 1. Cover or treat (something) with wax or a similar substance, typically to polish or protect it. 2. (of the moon between new and full) Have a progressively larger part of its visible surface illuminated, increasing its apparent size. Synonyms noun. beeswax verb. grow - increase - become
where would I get a levitation kit? I mean like the wax and thread you are using. There is no magic store near me, at least no as I know. Please respond.
Steve Fearson wants to talk with you about using his method to perform these levitation effects. Also about explaining them poorly. Using Blaine and Angel in the description is just clickbait! Fearson was selling this method in the 1980s.
@Dinam1ta yes it does i got the deje vu,stripper kit,and levitation from it a month ago they are awsome!also the thread can levitate stuff up to 2 pounds!
you probably dont give a shit but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Jett Mekhi i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Didnt really explain the set up. All I know is that there is a string attached to your ear somehow? where is the other end, and how do you manipulate the string to make the object levitate?
Or mayba its like a sticky tyoe of wax that is affixed on the card and somewhere on youre ear making it levitate but the other moves and objects im not getting it yet but its still cool to watch..
The wax is for sticking the thread that is already stuck to his ear, to his finger, then scrumples the dollar round the thread, or with the sunglasses he sticks the thread from his ear directly to the glasses.
So i take wax out of my ear and put in on my finger, I'm fine till then, but I fail to get how to levitate out of that, actually the dollar sticks to my wax :s
LOL it's not earwax... OK here's how it works: You have a piece of thread attached to your ear... let it hang down and using the (special) wax {provided in the kit} attached to your finger you grab the loose end of the thread and stick it to the wax on your finger. Then CAREFULLY crumple the bill around the thread... I think you'll get the rest from there...
Good trick, only you should have told at the first about the thread, it works excellent with acard, you can make it spin around your body and make it rise up and go where you wont it to I was show his trick years ago in Las Vegas....
can you buy the "wax" at the bar? once i apply said wax, will i have a problem removing it? what is the bartender does not want to give me free drinks? do i put the wax on him? if i am already black, can i just do it shirtless?
maan your the best! Thats the best trick i'v ever known! but the problem is how to make it move however i like to i know it needs practice! but still i don't know much moves....

Desde Spain, un admirador vuestro , que no entiende el ingles, te pido, ¿podias traducir tus videos al castellano?
Gracias por estar ahi,

Agree 👍
Dude that's amazing!!!!!! You couldn't have used the cross angel Invisible string so how did u do that
an impromptu like thread reel would work best in this situation. I would suggest IE-VECTRA. If you choose to do it with the hook up over the head, then I would suggest vectra virtuoso thread....simply the most "invisible" thread mere inches away from them

Thanks. Hope I can learn the reason of levitation.
You have any idea?

I love your hand poses when you do the trick dude! The beginning of your video is great reference for animation for magic! :D
these tricks are awesome and easy, just be sure to carry a black shirt and a black background wherever you wanna do the trick.
its a very nice video, but i have a question: how does it work at 3:55 ?PS: sorry for my bad english
thanks for the tutorial blackbox...it was awesome...and i will wait for your other videos...please do keep posting
Regardless of the negative feedback on here. I thought you did a magnificent job on the levitation effect's.
Not sure if your new to magic. However I've been into magic off and on since age 8. Of course I know what it's like to get all types of feedback. Keep up the great work. I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial
What's the wax for and where does invisible string come from?
He says this at one point: "You just need the levitation-kit..." which I gather would be some string and some wax, which you can probably buy at a hobby-store or at their website if you're lucky
can someone explain me correctly what is the wax that he is using? you say "its what is on a candle" but i cant see it.... can someone explain what EXACTLY is he using?
i'm having quite a bit of trouble splitting the thread...how do you do it with more ease?
What kind of thread do you use? And what wax?
Thank you. Nice demonstration. Good luck.
That's awesome man. I do the trick on all my friends and now they think I'm really telepathic. 5 stars!
How does making dollar levitate allow you to read minds?
what happens if u lose the invisible thread??? its invisible so u couldnt find it right?
that's neat, but can it be explained more in depth including a close-up visual demonstration about how the thread is attached to the ear, what kind of thread is it exactly, and what type of wax is used. There's thousands of waxes on the market.

Where do you buy the kit?
you know, this trick seamed a lot different to me because your holding the doller sidways and you let them touch it. its kind of cool.
Can you use glue instead of wax?
wow this is helping me out with my brothers talent show
What do u mean by wax
Another ways is to make static charge by clapping rapidly for a minute and then wave *DO NOT TOUCH ANY THING!* then you get a dollar/pound/euro bill and you can basicly do it, you will have a weird fealing on your hands by that time.
With my eagle eye I`d spot the thread when he is in the day light. plus you can see how the dollar dangles, and wiggles its on a thread
What if you get the string tangled?
Now thats a cool soundtrack (the part when the bill was floating).
What kind of wax r u taling about it dimb
Gracias muy buen video, pero seria bueno que lo pongas con alguna explicacion mas grafica para ver como pones el hilo y asi poder ver la tecnica
What if someone sneaks up behind you and cuts the thread from your ear??
How did he get the wax on his ear? And does a thread naturally extend from wherever you put it? Not the best explanation -_____-
You attach one end to your ear, and one end on your shirt, when the time comes take it off your shirt and place it on the card. make the string go inbetween your pointed finger and thumb, to manipulate it. Remember this is a free tutorial, if you want 100% tutorial buy the black box
What do we meed to buy?thread wax and what else to stick behind ear?
thanks for sharing but just like cris angel does you cut the camera angle before you levitated the dollar. So We dont see you so the whole setup which can be difficult. Nice trick though. Next tiem show it after your doing it without cutting the camera. will seem more realistic.
USE THE FORCE, LUKE
this would absolutley never work in a bar because before you know it someone would reach over and feel if there is a string there -_-
Republican still money
yeah or a drunken accidently stumbles,on you and thatll do it.
Do you only crumble it and it floats?

SHM in the dollar revealed the thread...Its nice though.
where would I get a levitation kit? I mean like the wax and thread you are using. There is no magic store near me, at least no as I know. Please respond.

@Dinam1ta yes it does i got the deje vu,stripper kit,and levitation from it a month ago they are awsome!also the thread can levitate stuff up to 2 pounds!
Where did the thread come from? You just randomly mention it in step 4.
Too bad ya can't do this trick in Canada.
Le Derp Français Plastic bills!
+Le Derp Français Or Australia for that matter.
+Le Derp Français ya it sucks
And then the bartender runs his hand across the thread that the dollar is obviously dangling on, and says "that will be 10 bucks."
Boromonkey iiiiiiiiiiio

you probably dont give a shit but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid lost my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Marcellus Orlando Instablaster :)
@Jett Mekhi i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
What kind of advice? it best if you wear a shirt that blend in with the string.
what kind of thread does he use? How do people not see it when they see it so close?
thanks man. Im gunna use this in public
Didnt really explain the set up. All I know is that there is a string attached to your ear somehow? where is the other end, and how do you manipulate the string to make the object levitate?
what kind of thread do you use? because it is so easy to see the thread that i use
@blackboxillusions if one end of the string is on ur ear and the other on ur hand how do you make it connect to the dollar? please reply!!!
how are you going to put the thread through the dollar???
Or mayba its like a sticky tyoe of wax that is affixed on the card and somewhere on youre ear making it levitate but the other moves and objects im not getting it yet but its still cool to watch..
Can gel wax be used on glasses or tape so thread will stay?
Ezreal , no vayne is stronger ;)
I am Georgian , and the Internet How do I shop ? Which site to buy ?
Why is your website not accessible?
@elchivista18 you dont, you crumple it around the thread.. it actually sticks pretty well.
What kind of invisible thread is this?
There are others but just for example: www.magicshop.co.uk/p9978/Invisible_Thread_Stripped/product_info.html
What kind of a string do ya use that people wont see it in the DAY LIGHT ??

@SuperRandomation the one on your ear you rap around a couple times around the ear and finger i think same think

how do people do this with a bottle cap? I've seen videos of people doing this but with a bottle cap!
The thread is invisible. What thread is that?
Great presentation
what wax? is it ear wax? at what point do you make a hole in the dollsr?
i want the wax string yay,where can i buy,your site is broke blackbox i want
what kind of thread do you use
Plz can anyone tell me what is the wax for and where can I get it...
The wax is for sticking the thread that is already stuck to his ear, to his finger, then scrumples the dollar round the thread, or with the sunglasses he sticks the thread from his ear directly to the glasses.
where am i going to find that kind of thread
So i take wax out of my ear and put in on my finger, I'm fine till then, but I fail to get how to levitate out of that, actually the dollar sticks to my wax :s
The thread is going from your ear to the wax on your finger. Crumple the bill around the thread. Now there will be no wax sticking to the dollar:)
LOL it's not earwax... OK here's how it works: You have a piece of thread attached to your ear... let it hang down and using the (special) wax {provided in the kit} attached to your finger you grab the loose end of the thread and stick it to the wax on your finger. Then CAREFULLY crumple the bill around the thread... I think you'll get the rest from there...
What is the wax???
Good trick, only you should have told at the first about the thread, it works excellent with acard, you can make it spin around your body and make it rise up and go where you wont it to I was show his trick years ago in Las Vegas....
I get everything but the first step can you re explain it please
I have problems getting the wax to stick behind ear
what kind of wax do you use?
which kind of thread is used?
CAN USE GLUE STICK ON FINGERS TOO
Their website is down
where can I get one of these kits
can you buy the "wax" at the bar? once i apply said wax, will i have a problem removing it? what is the bartender does not want to give me free drinks? do i put the wax on him? if i am already black, can i just do it shirtless?
Amazing!!
how do you do the cigarette one?

We're did you get the thread from
maan your the best! Thats the best trick i'v ever known! but the problem is how to make it move however i like to i know it needs practice! but still i don't know much moves....
it still doesn't make much sense to me how to connect the thread to ur ear
sir what type of wax is that
