Cosmosis: The Original Floating Match by Ben Harris

Description

“…at last, the originator explains his classic micro-levitation in complete detail – a digital first…”

Invented in 1986, and marketed as Cosmosis by Ben Harris, this effect has become one of the most pirated close-up creations in magic’s recent history. It truly has become a “classic.” Even today, twenty-three years after its debut, unscrupulous individuals and manufacturers in many countries market it without any due respect for its heritage or compensation for its creator. From street stalls in India and across Asia, to the high streets of London and Paris, you’ll find this effect ripped-off and offered to the casual purchaser. The inventor now offers all the intimate details of this examinable micro-illusion in digital format.

This edition has been specially prepared as an “Authorized Download.” This contains all the information you need to make this a miracle levitation. You’ll even fool those who think they know how it’s done! Start Floating Today!
