Jack Gwynne the originator used two screen supports and the gimmick at 45 degrees from one corner.. Much better effect.

Get rid of swords, they're lame and not allowed in schools, and don't block the audience view, instead add a 2, 3 step folding step stool that looks like it's part of the support until you take it away , that will help so it doesn't move as much when getting on, off.. add black cloth underneath if you don't want to add the board

Perhaps calling it Princess illusion as those who know will search it by it's true name.

Hi there! No offense taken/thanks for your thoughts! Yes I realize it’s controversial to put this out there where anyone can see it. My thoughts on this are 1. If it’s out there to the public more magicians than anyone will watch this video. And one magician performing this illusion the way it was built (without these modifications) is in and of itself revealing the secret to the audience. Most laymen will not really even know what I’m talking about watching this video and will not continue watching. There’s too many other things to watch out there on the web. (“Look squirrel”) I want as many magicians to see it as possible so that they don’t perform it “right out of the box” and reveal it in person and if that means a small number of laymen also watch it then I think it’s an acceptable loss. Laymen forget what they learned about magic on KZfaq anyway, the masked magician revealed every illusion that’s ever been made but no one can remember any of it. 2. Your situation (personal experience) is different but people can find the answers to just about anything on the Internet if they look long enough. This illusion is really not a “fooler” in the first place, I think any adult (and some kids) knows there is a support bar there. 3. I will see if I can take your advice and change the name to its proper name. But realistically that dad is only going to do a search for whatever you tell them it’s called. If you tell them the illusion is called “The Flying Carpet” they will likely find it even if I rename it “Princess Flying Carpet” simply because you told them the name had “flying carpet” in it. I could give you some name suggestions here, but if I do that it’ll start to show up in searches. So be creative and if you really want people not to be able to find it online, then refer to it as something no one is ever heard of. I had the same issue performing “Tiny Plunger” by Jon Armstrong and people would Google it right there at the table and show me the video. I started calling it a “Baby Bathroom Accessory” and it never happened again. Feel free to comment or share further thoughts. As a general rule I don’t post secrets publicly, but I think this one does more good than harm because of the fact very few people even know what I’m talking about and/or have the patience to sit through and watch the entire video. Your situation is rare (I think anyway) and can be averted by following my advice above.

@@keirmathur8623 thank you for taking the time to write a thoughtful reply. I understand your perspective. I too do not share secrets and find it difficult when I see beautiful effects given away freely to the public. I never actually give a name to this presentation it was just the fact that there was a carpet and the image of a child flying that got him to your tutorial. Perhaps naming it Princess levitation illusion would suffice? Coming out of a miserable 2 years just wanting to spread some magic again without being flashed with phones "look here's how it's done". As for the modus operandi, I've never had it revealed due to a clever setup behind and to the side of me it's just this video.. Thank you for your consideration and time wishing you well.
