I don't care if the trick is good or not. All of these people are more pleasant to look at and listen to than today's celebrities on TV. 😊❤

Melbourne was also a regular on the very first version of WABD TV Ch.5 NYC's long running comedy/variety kids tv series"Wonderama!".

Milbourne Christopher was a great magician , but this was painful to watch. Under rehearsed and awkward. I think he was hampered here by not having trained assistants .

@@MrBongers My thoughts exactly. And the human figures on the supports looked so cheesy.

Thanks for the masked Magician, now we all know the trick ...LOL

[@johnmoran1317]

lex-I saw that masked magician expose a similar levitation trick--but this one seemed different.. It seemed to me that there was no means of support under bess.. Therefore Milbourne was truly a great magician.

The trick was ruined at the end when the board started wobbling off balance. Also the first questioner gave it away to the 2nd.

That's because she started to get up too soon.

Of course there was a supporting arm from behind. The hoop never passed through behind.

Then how did Gary walk behind him if there was a bar in the way? That’s not the way this trip is done
