Experience the Legendary Ultimate Floating Deck, Refined for Today's Magician

Step into the world of truly captivating card magic with Ben Harris's 'Ultimate Floating Deck' (UFD), a timeless classic meticulously re-engineered for the modern era. Originally conceived in 1984, the UFD has inspired countless variations, but this definitive digital download brings Ben Harris's own, refined manuscript to your fingertips. Say goodbye to outdated 1980s handlings; this version is a complete 'house cleaning,' offering a streamlined, linear, and utterly smooth presentation from start to finish. Prepare to astound your audience with an effect that is clean, direct, and unforgettable.

The Mesmerizing Effect

Imagine this: a spectator freely selects a card, which is then returned to the deck. After a quick square-up, the deck is placed onto your open palm. With a simple command, the top half of the deck defies gravity, gracefully rising and floating in mid-air. Initially, it's a subtle lift, then a breathtaking ascent that looks 'cloud-like' and incredibly smooth. To enhance the impossibility, you can remove the card directly beneath the floating section and wave it back and forth, visibly demonstrating the complete absence of any support. After a few suspended moments, the floating half gently descends back onto the lower portion. The single card you removed is then turned over, revealing it to be none other than the spectator's previously selected card! The method even includes a clever subtlety that allows you to convincingly show underneath the floating block without revealing a thing.

Unparalleled Versatility and Simplicity

The UFD isn't just a stunning illusion; it's also remarkably practical. This powerful effect boasts specifications designed with the working magician in mind:

**Use ANY Deck of Cards:** No need for specialty decks. Grab any standard poker-sized deck, and you're ready to perform.
**Requires NO External Gaffs:** The magic happens entirely within your hands and the deck itself. No threads, wires, or hidden apparatus to worry about.
**Can Be Used for Multiple Reveals:** While perfect for a single chosen card, the UFD's structure allows for creative expansion into other reveals.
**Show Nothing Between Floating Block:** A brilliant, updated subtlety enables you to visually prove there's nothing supporting the levitating half-deck.

This 24-page PDF manuscript is richly illustrated with 22 detailed photos, ensuring every nuance of the handling is crystal clear. Dive into Ben Harris's vision for the Ultimate Floating Deck and add a truly magical, gravity-defying moment to your repertoire.

The ULTIMATE FLOATING DECK or UFD was first published in 1984. Since then it has spurned many variations. The current manuscript has been REFINED and re-written. This brings the effect right up to date by cutting out the superfluous "1980's handlings". Consider this some serious "house cleaning" after twenty six years! Now， the structure is linear and smooth--from the selection to the levitation. Clean， smooth， direct.

A card is selected and returned to the deck. It is given a quick all-around-square-up， and then placed on the palm. On command， the top half of the deck FLOATS. First a little， and then a WHOLE LOT! The card below the floating section is removed. It is waved back and forth between the blocks， showing the ABSENCE of support.

After a few seconds， the floating half of the deck settles back down， and the single card turned over to reveal that it is the SELECTED card!

The motion of the FLOATING "half deck" looks lovely and smooth. "Cloud-like" in many ways. And， a lovely subtlety， now included， allows you to SHOW UNDER THE FLOATING BLOCK--WITHOUT REVEALING ANYTHING!
