Une version de la grande illusion la plus fameuse du monde : la lévitation ! Vous présentez au public une petite scène de théâtre et panneau en plastic ou un magicien et une assistante y sont imprimés. Le panneau est inséré dans le cadre représentant la scène de théâtre et la femme représentée en dessin est posée sur une petite table qui fait partie du décors. Soudain, la femme s'élève au dessus de la table et lévite un instant, de plus en plus haut, avant de redescendre. Pourtant à la fin du tour lorsque les spectateurs examinent le panneau, la femme y est simplement imprimée. Alors comment diable à-t-elle pu prendre vie et léviter ? Le mystère reste entier.
Concernant le packaging:
Datant de 1978, L'emballage de Floating Lady fait parti des premiers tours de chez Tenyo qui ont le style moderne qu'on leurs connait aujourd'hui et dans lequel le matériel est présenté d'une manière inhabituelle et recherchée donnant à l'ensemble un style beaucoup plus élaboré que les simples boites dans lesquels sont emballés les tours de magie en général. Vous aurez surement peu d'occasion de voir ce tour dans son emballage d'origine, pourtant il est intéressant de voir qu'il est complètement pensé et construit autour du tour lui même avec un rappel des couleurs qui concordent parfaitement avec le thème et le design du tour. De plus l'utilisation du mot "Illusion" pour porter la femme qui lévite est une autre bonne idée pour expliquer de manière subtile en quoi consiste le tour et tout ces petits détails démontrent bien le soin que Tenyo apporte à la conception de ses emballages.

Off all the full scale magic illusion, one of the most popular is the levitation trick. The magician hypnotizes a lady and places her on a couch. He give a command and she begins to rise slowly up into the air. As she floats hight up above the head of the magician, he passes a large hoop around her body to show that there is nothing supporting her. Tenyo has succeeded in making this classic effect into a Pocket illusion which can be performed right before the spectator's eyes.
In this trick a plastic card with a magician and a lady printed on it is displayed and inserted into a miniature framed which depicts a theatre stage. The magician notices a beautiful lady on a couch and the lady is resting upon a pedestal. Soon, gives a command. The beauty starts to float up- up and up- until she reaches the ceiling, then slowly comes down and she gently returns to rest on her pedestal . This classic effect is now a pocket illusion that can be performed in an intimate close up setting. The 3 ½" x 3 ½" plate can be handed to spectators for examination, but there is no evidence of how she can have moved.
Review:
Floating Lady is one of the effects which are manufactured from an ingenious mechanism that is included directly in the material and allows you to present the routine automatically. This type of mechanism has become the trademark which has enabled Tenyo to know success until today. In this sense I think Floating Lady almost has a soul full of history who is fascinated by the creations from Tenyo and I always enjoy watching his beautiful retro packaging and handling the props. Floating Lady is a really well-built magic trick which ensures the show despite its childish style and makes the public questioning over how it works. It is composed of several ingenious elements wich are combined together make it possible to levitate the girl while yet it seems impossible at first sight. But as you know, impossible is not Tenyo!
About packaging:
Dating from 1978, Floating Lady is among the first tricks of the modern Tenyo style tricks - meaning that the gimmick is hidden in an unusual way and is more complicated than your average coin box. I post it here because you're not likely to see one in its packaging and because I like the way the packaging is built around the trick with a reminder of colors and theme. The use of the word "Illusion" to carry the lady who levitate is another good idea to explain in a subtle way of what consists the magic trick and this small detail demonstrates well the care which Tenyo brings to the conception of its packagings.

Review:
Floating Lady fait partie des effets qui sont fabriqués à partir d'un ingénieux mécanisme qui est inclut directement dans le matériel et qui permet de présenter la routine de manière automatique. Ce type de mécanisme est devenue la marque de fabrique qui a permis à Tenyo de connaitre le succès qu'on lui connait aujourd'hui. En ce sens je trouve que Floating Lady a une âme toute particulière, presque chargée d'histoire pour qui est passionné par les créations Tenyo. J'ai donc toujours beaucoup de plaisir à regarder son bel emballage rétro et à manipuler le matériel. Floating Lady est un tour vraiment bien pensé qui, malgré son aspect enfantin, permet d'assurer le spectacle et de rendre le public interrogatif quand à la manière dont il fonctionne. Il est composé de plusieurs éléments ingénieux qui combinés ensembles permettent de faire léviter la demoiselle alors que cela parait pourtant impossible à première vue. Mais comme vous le savez, impossible n'est pas Tenyo !Concernant le packaging:
