Once you figure out this trick, share it with friends and watch them figure it out! No spoilers on other magic methods here for other tricks and videos please;) This is for entertainment! See you soon with tons of new magic and pranks!
I've been into magic for more than 10 years, and although I know a lot of different methods to levitate an object, this is by far the best and most legitimate. Yes, there's a bit of set up beforehand, but it's worth it. You may fail a few, or tons of times at the beginning, like I did, but eventually you can master it. So far I've achieved to hold it for 3 seconds about 2cm apart each side. I'm working my way up to about 5 seconds 5cm apart each side. Thumb up, fellow magicians, so people can really learn this. Peace.
just a tip for everyone.. its all about the static on your hands, and there are more methods to achieve it, rubbing your hands against a carpet, balloons, there's the "school desk" method; just be careful not to touch metal or make contact with materials / objects that could release the energy before its used on small objects...
Is there some sort of ratio that can determine how long your hands stay charged i.e amount of rubbing/object = So many seconds/minutes of charged hands?
It makes sense. I do this trick all the time at the laundromat in the winter time. You don't need the 2 straws at all in the laundry. It only works in dry weather in the winter. I walk up to anyone taking their clothes out the drier and ask them if they want to see a trick. They ALWAYS say yes, I ask them for a dollar which they always have, and I take their clothes out the drier and throw it in the cart as fast as possible. That builds the charge, so then I palm the bill and let go super quick!
It was amazing, I tried and it worked! The only thing that stressed me out was the ripping the top part of the straw wrapping... ... Is there anything else I can use than a straw?
It took some time mastering this, but people love it when you perform this for them. Any ideas on how to hide the charging process from your audience so people think it's really magic in stead of simple physics?
The negative causes repelling and possitive causes attraction but positive and negative is equal to stick together by charge and when positive and posive go to each other they go away so thats how it worked thanks!
Sorry, but i'm ain't sharing this video with my friends, i want them to think that i have telekinesis! Btw, this is one of the most useful video i've seen on youtube, goodjob!
Fantastic idea !!! Congratulations...!!! I think we will be improve using a hight tension generato like the inset killers for to charge the hands ... If works i will post the results here ... It's difficult to see some new like this. Thanks a lot !!!
It actually worked for me if any1s wondering if it works or not. it does take practice to levitate the bill, but just try levitating the lit paper wit straw 1st ull see it works then just try the bill w ur hands
Finally something not from other videos like camera edits that we buy some useless stuff but this is amazing real and mostly amazing and I have 1 comment to say: welp! School is gonna be interesting tomorrow bro!!!!
Wasn´t there a harder way to charge your hands, Rich? Cause this one is too easy, I, at any time have a limitless supply of paper-envolved straws to try the trick as many times as I need to, to master it.
My dad walked in while i was doing this.. I had alot of explaining to do..

I wonder how many people tried this to friends before trying it on their own!? Gotta practice/test tricks before heading out in public!!
Going to macdonalds to get some straws
Well um.. I did this and I embarrassed myself
Probably should have tried this on my own
Yea... To sum it up im not allowed in the library anymore
can u make the static charge with some thing els besides straws?
So this really isn't a trick at all...
I mean you are actually levitating a dollar between your hands.
I didn't expect that
McDonald's here i come !
WHAT!? Thank you so much! Finally a levetation trick that doesnt require any loops!
Shit, just touched myself
now the charge is gone ;(
I like this guy because he uses science stuff
FINALLY! A magician who doesn't use string to do this! Your amazing!
How can i put 2 straws in my mouth and rub em unnoticed during a performance? :/
Hilarious! Rich, as a former magician I tip my hat to you, sir.
This is more than simple magic. You're a genius.
Is there some sort of ratio that can determine how long your hands stay charged i.e amount of rubbing/object = So many seconds/minutes of charged hands?
this deserves 1,000,000 views!
He makes it look so easy!

It took some time mastering this, but people love it when you perform this for them. Any ideas on how to hide the charging process from your audience so people think it's really magic in stead of simple physics?
I love it but the real mystery is who was the person who came up with this and how?
The negative causes repelling and possitive causes attraction but positive and negative is equal to stick together by charge and when positive and posive go to each other they go away so thats how it worked thanks!
This actually worked, holy crap, AWESOME!
Sorry, but i'm ain't sharing this video with my friends, i want them to think that i have telekinesis! Btw, this is one of the most useful video i've seen on youtube, goodjob!

Fantastic idea !!! Congratulations...!!! I think we will be improve using a hight tension generato like the inset killers for to charge the hands ... If works i will post the results here ... It's difficult to see some new like this. Thanks a lot !!!
Another way to make static charge is by clapping rapidly for a minute and wave your hands (don't touch anything ) and you will get static charge
It actually worked for me if any1s wondering if it works or not. it does take practice to levitate the bill, but just try levitating the lit paper wit straw 1st ull see it works then just try the bill w ur hands
