The deck looks very stable when it floats up. How many ITs are there to make this work? Can't imagine that it's just one. Is it 3 in a pyramid arrangement? Do you have to keep track of more than one, haptically?
Everything is self-contained but there are 2 ITR units involved in making this work. The program makes everything work with the push of a button. It's incredibly impressive!
As first I saw the effect i knew that I need it , I've purchased one, I love the haunted deck I own several of them, but this looks extremely perfect, the powerful shooting effect ( long distance) and the floating deck never seen something as incredible as this, it looks real magic and I love it ❤❤❤. It will be always in My close-up suitcase combining it as a routine with the tempo elf from TCC & haunted bell.
This is incredible! One big question for me though; how visible is the IT? Or how far or visible is it to the audience or what would be the distance needed? Even though I know it'll be like most IT work, the bigger distance between your hand and the deck raises some questions. Thanks!
Hi David, well we have some good news for you. The IT being used here is the same stuff that João created for his Gravity Reel. It's stronger than the usual stuff but just as invisible. There are a couple of live performances of Leviosa being performed and we just shared one of our favs on our Instagram feed here instagram.com/reel/CuctvNUNUuJ/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
What about the Noise? And if it is self contained, we still need to put back the palmed cards in the box for next person to pick a card? right? (for strolling) Thanks in advance!!!!!!
The noise is surprisingly quiet. João does mention that talking or making a small noise with your mouth *like a whoosh* would help cover the part where the deck floats up to your hand even more. If you choose to do the palmed cards version yes you will need to add them back to the deck before you perform again. We definitely see the advantage though of just performing with a regular deck and switching decks once the spectator has selected and signed the card with your back turned.
We understand that this might not be for everyone. The one big plus with this system is that not only is it self-contained within the deck but the sequence of the haunted deck, and the deck floating to your hand, has been programmed to run by itself. You really just need to place the deck down and pick it up for everything to work.
I have no experience with the “secret sauce” of this, yet ordered it before I saw this review. Is this item a good way in which to LEARN HOW to become familiar with it?
The IT doesn't take an hour to fix Landon. We've managed to do it in about 5-10 mins and it's looking more like 5 mins if that the more that we do it. Please make sure you are following the instructions on how to use the unit. João said he's used his for over 500+ performances without any 'breakage' going on.
hi, I have leviosa. I enjoy it. but when the thread breaks, the motor will whizz VERY loudly for how small it is because of all tension that is lost and there is no way to silence it in a covert way. this is quite the oversight unfortunately.
Good review but you over spoke about adjusting the power of the R***s individually. Not possible. And he makes it clear they can only be adjusted together.
The noise is surprisingly quiet. João does mention that talking or making a small noise with your mouth like a whoosh would help cover the part where the deck floats up to your hand even more. If you're in a super super quiet room you might here a little something but it's a very quiet unit that's doing the work here.
Great review!! I keep seeing it being advertised as “completely self contained” so you don’t need to hook up to this thing?? Thank you for the details! I WANNA PULL THE TRIGGER ON THIS! Edit; also any clothing restrictions?
The deck is not examinable as everything is built into it. We definitely would recommend starting with a normal deck though and then when you're ready to perform Leviosa switch the deck after the spectator picks the card, and you turn away so you can't see the card, so you can get the gimmick into play. That should help to take the heat off of the Leviosa gimmick since you've been using a regular deck for the rest of your performance. You could also use something like Cold Case to switch the Leviosa gimmick at the end for a regular deck if you wanted since the switch happens out in the open in the action of placing the deck back into the box.
Great review Luke and after watching it several times I made the purchase. Working with IT CAN be challenging but after hearing your comments I think it is worth the effort (practice) for this "miracle". Thank you. ED
@@itsallthingsmagic No problem. Especially when you're looking at spending over $200 with tax and shipping. Hopefully, it's durable too, as Joao has a good reputation for releasing quality magic products that last.
leipzisch....you asked that question on the Magic Cafe Forum. The answer is 67.5. Yeap, the thread will break in the middle of your performance after your 67th performance. Come on leipzisch....do you really think anyone would know? Dafuq is wrong with magicians these days!!!
We've been speaking with João and one of his units has been using the same thread for 500+ performances. The thread included is João's own thread that he created to be stronger than the typical stuff but still just as invisible. One of the other nice things is that you can adjust the spools to make sure everything is running smoothly to maximize the longevity of your thread. We think you will be pleasantly surprised with just how much usage you get. It should also be noted that 'fixing' the thread is a breeze and you are also supplied with an extra full spool of João's thread that normally sells separately for $25. This is the same stuff he used when creating his Gravity Reel. We hope this helps!
We appreciate the support! The unit is incredibly well made and even the 'secret sauce' that makes some of the stuff happen is even easier to fix than we thought. Another winner from João Miranda and team!
Not a silly question at all Ryan! The good news is that you don't need more cover. João shared a video a little earlier of Julio doing this at a magic convention today wearing a t-shirt and being out in the open. The reaction from the magicians there tell the story 😀 Click here to watch instagram.com/p/CuX8h1ahQXo/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
We have them in stock allthingsmagic.com/products/leviosa Also, more importantly we offer ShopPay and AfterPay so you can break up the payments. The product ships after the first payment is made though. Just thought you’d like to know since we do our best for the All Things Magic fam 👍
As with all electronics, the question is how much usage from a single charge. Also, if not in use for a while, do you need to recharge, such as 3 months with most things?
Just curious how long the charge will last for performances..... I understand that probably will depend on how many times its used.... Does it by chance have a standby mode ? I'm a senior (70 if that matters) and enjoy performing while at karaoke bars usually between my songs..... I enjoy things that are very visual and that are relatively easy. I'm not good with slights such as "double lifts", Elmsley counts ect as I don't have the coordination / hand dexterity or patience to learn (and I'm fine with that as "A Man has GOT to know his limitations") I'm also not a fan of long drawn out card tricks or tricks that require fan spreads on a table or bar top as strangers at a bar typically aren't interested (especially from a stranger). This checks the boxes for what I like and am looking for. I'm a BIG fan of "Mental Die" by Tony Anverdi as I can sit at my corner of the bar enjoying my solitude and just play with my die. Usually at some point my playing with it will draw attention and someone will come up to ME asking..... "HEY WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING" and then I go to work saying.... "Let me show ya something". Anyway, sorry for this being so long and drawn out..... thats me in a nutshell and what I like and I think this might could play well with my Mental Die. The cost of this "Leviosa" isn't a concern, but what is a concern for me..... ease for me to master this, number of performances out of a charge, and it being visual (from what I see this covers the "visual" in grand style. Thanks
We received this information directly from João about how many uses you can get. "Assuming the unit is turned off and on between performances I would say around 50 times" It's easy to turn the unit and and off in real time as well..
The unit itself is very well made. The 'secret sauce' that makes it all work is João's personal brand of 'stuff' that isn't nearly as hard to replace as we thought it would be

When the I.T. snaps you’ll spend an hour fixing it…You’ll then want to eat a bag of hair when it snaps three performances later.

IT is so sensitive …
Looks visual, until it fails 🤷♂️
Great review Luke 👍👍
Very visual indeed!

We're glad to hear the review was helpful! There really is a lot to love about Leviosa
Thanks for the very informative review. Really helps with deciding whether or not it's for you.
Glad it was helpful!

Even more of a reason Luke wanted to do a review. This is so much more than a trick, it’s an investment
How many uses before the thread needs replacing, would you estimate? This is critical

Hey Luke! I'm here for the review! I thought it was a little later...
Hope the review was helpful!
Silly question but.. Considering I'm a silly person, how versatile is the ahem
"I. T."? Can I have a t-shirt on? Or do I need a little more cover?
Not a silly question at all Ryan!
The good news is that you don't need more cover.

Great question!
Straight from João who we just spoke with..
"Assuming the unit is turned off and on between performances I would say around 50 times"
Great thanks! Any info on the longevity of charge when not in use? Meaning, charge in a few months if not using?
gg
does the deck rise in your hand through a thread? or not?
Yes
you said, "deets".......

Very much so!
Can't wait to receive this!

It's easy to turn the unit and and off in real time as well..
WOW! 🤯
Wow is right! 🤩
can I build the deck with an other backdesign? I use normaly phoenix cards.
It would take some patience to do it but if you really wanted this to look like a different back design technically you could..
What type of thread does it use?
This uses the IT that João created and has released. You receive an extra supply of it that would normally be $25 on its own
@@itsallthingsmagiccan you order replacement thread on its own?
@@90dayfiance69you sure can
away better than I thought wow could I borrow 200 haha
Don’t forget we offer ShopPay and AfterPay to break up bigger purchases just like this 😉
USB-C?
We don't believe so. One end is regular USB while the other end has the small white square connector that goes into the actual unit.
Is it fragile?
The unit itself is very well made. The 'secret sauce' that makes it all work is João's personal brand of 'stuff' that isn't nearly as hard to replace as we thought it would be
The thread snaps like watered down paper. Move your thumb the wrong way and you’re done 🧵
Very very fragile mate
