Unlock the Secrets of Card Levitation with Ben Harris's Enlightenment
Step into a world where playing cards defy gravity with 'Magic Video - Enlightenment' by Ben Harris. This expert digital download is your ultimate guide to mastering one of magic's most breathtaking illusions: the floating card. Ben Harris, a renowned creator in magic, shares his professional, highly effective method in a comprehensive video tutorial that demystifies the impossible.
Witness the Impossible: A Card Beyond Gravity
Imagine this: a spectator freely selects a card, which can be thoroughly examined. With no visible threads, wires, or suspicious movements, the card impossibly rises and floats an inch above the deck. The truly astonishing part? The spectator can hold the deck as this miracle unfolds, feeling the magic firsthand. This direct interaction enhances the impossibility, leaving your audience utterly spellbound. The card remains examinable even after its gravity-defying feat, ensuring no doubt remains about its ordinary nature.
Ben Harris's Ingenious & Self-Contained Method
This digital guide dives deep into Ben Harris's acclaimed approach, renowned for its cleanliness and impact. You'll receive clear, step-by-step video instructions that not only teach you the performance nuances but also guide you through constructing the ingenious, self-contained gimmick. The video tutorial details everything from its history to the precise building process, ensuring that the final gimmick is robust, well-camouflaged, and integrates seamlessly into a regular deck of cards, appearing completely normal.
The beauty of this method lies in its self-contained nature. Nothing is added or taken away during the performance, maintaining a high level of deception. Reset is immediate, allowing you to perform this powerful effect repeatedly with different cards. Its design also makes it incredibly versatile; you can even perform 'Enlightenment' surrounded, provided spectators are looking down onto the deck, making it ideal for close-up and walk-around magic.
Versatility and Important Considerations
Beyond its primary use with playing cards, the 'Enlightenment' technique offers remarkable versatility. With slight modifications, you can adapt this method to levitate other small, flat objects such as dollar bills, photographs, or business cards, adding new dimensions to your magical repertoire. Imagine giving a levitated card as an unforgettable souvenir!

Original Specs
Ben Harris – Enlightement
Here's a professional and well made gimmick that can make a freely selected card rise and float above the deck about an inch. The floating card is entirely under your control and the spectator can hold the deck as the levitation occurs. The card is freely selected and may be examined before and after.
I've encountered various methods for this effect and this is the cleanest and most effective that I’ve seen.
Getting a Rise
As the ads state, the effect is completely self-contained and nothing is added or taken away. Reset is immediate and the trick and can be performed right away with another card. As long as spectators are looking down onto the deck, you can perform this one surrounded.
Spectators may keep the levitated card as a souvenir. You can also use the trick with certain modifications to levitate dollar bills, photographs and more.
Lift Off
The gimmick is well made and sturdy and comes with a 12-month warranty. There is some work that involves cutting and taping to incorporate the device into a deck of cards. In the end, the gimmick is well camouflaged and the deck appears normal.
The accompanying book is thorough and well written and illustrated to tell you about the history of the effect and how to build the gimmick and perform the trick. To perform the effect, you will need one more gimmick that you may already own, or that you can purchase separately, which will set you back about $35.
This is a great product. If you would like to cause a playing card to briefly hover an inch above the deck, it’s worth looking at this one.
