But like I said, I don't know what variant they might have thrown in on this one. I had an older "hover card" modus operandi video back last year when I first started though. Seems very visual, very cool, but kinda difficult to routine. I am highly considering, however, going against myself and buying this anyway. I think it might work well for a table-to-table trick. _________________ An0n ------------------------------------------------------- -Check out my Blog for help with several different sleights and tricks!

It was a small booklet that detailed various 'floating' effects from rings to paper money. At the time hovercard was fairly well ignored, probably because you have to make the gimmick yourself. A few years later I saw Harlan dem it at a convention; I think he had started making them. I don't remember them being very popular at the time. Now E are selling them, they seem to be hot cakes. Who said branding is worthless? Take care, Ian Fri Mar 09, 2007 12:07 pm Rmadsen Joined: 06 May 2007 Posts: 2 Hey IanKendall. I am looking fore that book. Can't find it under that name. Do you sure that its called The Complete Levitation ? Thanks !

The Hummer card is Bob Hummer's floating card effect also know as the whirling card or the UFO (although anyone using that name deserves a really hard slap as Bob was a brilliant but extremely odd man who I respect enormously and deserves due credit). The Hover card is a Dan Harlan effect which is different in method (no IT attached to your head) and in effect.. The Hover involves a card it floating an inch above the deck whereas the Hummer card involves a card cavorting around the performer.

It was a small orange spiral bound booklet, and I imagine it is _long_ out of print. I know I've not seen one since I got rid of mine. I do know the person who bought it from me, so I could ask him if I get the chance.

Take care, Ian I will be very glad if you get it:) Tue May 08, 2007 1:14 am IanKendall Chip Tricks Contest I Champ Joined: 16 Apr 2004 Posts: 384 Location: Edinburgh, Scotland It's called the Art of Close up Levitiation and you can get it here: http://sorcery.safeshopper.com/78/651.htm?858 Hope that helps, Take care, Ian Edit: it's by Jon Jensen, so that's probably the book Termonte is talking about.
