Well, consider this... you didn't think of it; you didn't work your way through several designs to get to the finished product; you didn't source the various materials to finish up with the right look and your question suggests, only suggests mind you, that you may be thinking of stealing all of that invention and effort. Do you not care that to do such a thing is at best simply not fair? I have never published the details.
Of course it isn't. The expense is in the development, the ones that didn't work, the presentation... and of course the second time you do it's half price, innit?
Reveal? To whom? If you mean the general public why would I want to spoil their enjoyment of a magic show? If you mean the world of magicians, then I do talk about my stuff when I do seminars, or sell the illusions...

+Paul Daniels I agree that thou shouldn't reveal, in fact to me half the joy is trying to figure it out like a puzzle that baffles you the moment you think you get it. And then if I guess right I am more amaze at the technical skill that is involved to make it happen, which she keeps the joy.
Hi, It's a very nice illusion can you sent me a message please with the explanation of the trick, than I can perform it in my magic show also and I will keep the secret (i'm also a magician and I know that I don't tell a secret to someone else, except if the person is also a magician) :)
As I posted already onto your video... there are things that you have to remember here... There was another box levitation before Nick's. Sadly, I thought Nick's version was very obvious and could be much better so I invented a new way to do it and to float much higher. I wonder why he has never mentioned it to me if he, as you say, is so upset. To the audience? I agree, but then. to them Nick's looks the same as the one with the mirror...
I love it and I love your live performance of it, so funny, wonderful showmanship, thanks Paul
Great illusion sir....wonderful, Brilliant...magician sumeet bhandari
This was awesome!
VERY WELL ILLUSION :) RESPECT
A true master
Fantastic illusion :) is it possible to do this with an audience that have a 360 degree view of the performance?
Nat Martin Yes... I have done this complete surrounded. You can do it in a circus ring.
Fantastic :) Thank you.
I have to admit I have tried to figure out your famous illusion and I wound up here. You are a great magician. May I send you a friend request?
Thank you. I am rarely on FB and am mostly to be found @thepauldaniels on Twitter
Right. Sorry Paul. I wasn't having a dig. Just wondering if there were inconsistencies here. As I'm sure you can understand.
Very nice illusion sir :-)
Thank you, kind of you to say so.
Is it possible to build it on my own?

Surely can't be expensive for a cardboard box, knife and a drape :-)
Of course it isn't. The expense is in the development, the ones that didn't work, the presentation... and of course the second time you do it's half price, innit?
why dont you reveal your tricks now you have some years with my all respect

As far as the lay audience is concerned, your version is exactly the same as Nick's. He's not best pleased that you took his idea and resold it.
