ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to theatrical illusion apparatus in general, and more specifically to an apparatus for performing a levitation illusion. The apparatus includes an improved body support frame which enhances the illusion that the suspended object or person has no external supporting means, when employed in conjunction with a rigid hoop which is passed around and over the suspended body. The support frame is supported through the aperture in a hinged lid of a trunk. The trunk has rollers for mobility when packed, and the trunk lid serves as the upper surface of a stage. A motor drive provides power to raise or lower the upper portion of the support frame with respect to the trunk stage.
