ILevel Pro by Phill Smith

Created by: Phill Smith

ILevel Pro is a sophisticated close-up magic trick that creates the illusion of a selected card or object levitating and moving through the air under the performer's complete control. Spectators see the card rise from the deck, hover, and glide in any direction—up, down, sideways, or even in circles—before settling back into the deck or into a spectator's hand. This is a visual, impromptu-style effect that requires no threads, magnets, or complicated setup, making it ideal for walk-around magic, table-hopping, and parlour settings. Buyers should note that it involves a clever gimmick and practice to master the smooth, natural movements that make the levitation convincing.

Effect

The ILevel Pro creates a visual illusion where a selected card appears to float and move independently from the deck. The magician shows a deck of cards and a spectator chooses one. After the card is returned to the deck, the magician causes the chosen card to visibly levitate and separate from the rest of the pack. The card can be seen hovering in mid-air before it is caught and handed out for examination.

Full details

ILevel Pro is a self-contained gimmick system designed for card levitation. It allows the magician to perform a floating card effect with minimal setup and handling. The method uses a cleverly designed apparatus that is hidden from the audience view. The gimmick is reusable and works with any standard deck of playing cards. No threads, wires, or external attachments are visible during the performance. The effect can be done in close-up conditions and is angle friendly for most performance situations.

Who should consider the trick

ILevel Pro is suitable for magicians who want to add a strong visual card magic effect to their repertoire. It works well for performers who do walk-around magic or close-up performances. The trick is particularly good for those who want a reliable levitation effect that doesn't require complex preparation. It's also appropriate for magicians who perform in well-lit conditions where other floating methods might be visible.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The ILevel Pro requires basic card handling skills to perform effectively. The method itself is straightforward to operate once understood. Most magicians can learn the essential handling within a short practice session. The trick does not demand advanced sleight of hand or complex moves. The main challenge involves natural presentation and timing to maximize the visual impact. With proper rehearsal, performers of various skill levels can achieve convincing results.
