Trick Effect & Routine:
a soda/beer can can be seen to be stuck in mid air whilst the performer eerily moves his hand from the bottom to the top of the can. to create the illusion that the can is suspended in mid air.
Preparation:
none, the use of either a soda or beer can, oh and slightly greasy fingers although not
compulsory.
Method:
hold the can in your hand thumb on one side fingers on the other, (towards the bottom of the can)
simply release your grip slightly and the can will start to slide downwards as doing this the hand needs to be gradually but slowly moving upwards, if the timing is right it will create quite a nice illusion that the can is suspended in mid air, the upward movement of the hand needs to be exactly the same as the downwards
movement of the can
Comments:
very simple basic trick, but does create quite a nice visual trick the secrets all in the timing try it out at home and you will see the illusion yourself its more of a bar/pub trick than anything serious but can be quite nice as a transition btw certain tricks
