Uncanny Levitation or Paul Daniel’s Box Levitation

[dobbsjl]

Hello,

I am looking for instructions on the Uncanny Levitation or Paul Daniel’s version with the box levitation. Anyone has any sources you can direct me too? I have looked at U.F. Grant’s explanation of the Uncanny Levitation, but the diagrams and text is not 100% clear. I get the basic principle, but feel I’m missing something.

What you are referring to is the "Flying Box" illusion. You'll find a thread about it - on the Genii Forum.

Just to clarify - there are two different “cardboard box” levitations credited to Paul. The “flying box” - a large cardboard box floats in front of the magician and eventually an assistant appears out of the box whilst it’s floating. The “box levitation” - the magician stands inside a cardboard box (with torn open sides) and levitates up and down inside it.
