Hi guys I am going to be performing magic at a dinner party and I want to do a really good levitation effect.

Do any of you have any recommendations??? I am straying towards the tarantula or the spider pen pro by yigal mesika.
 
Maybe it's just all the saw dust on my shoes but every time I see or hear the word "Levitation" in conjunction with Magic I envision people floating in the air . . . none of that tippy toe crap, but true levitations & suspensions and so, when I read this post the smart-azz in me instantly thought "Lighter Than Air" or maybe a simple "Super X". . .

I so miss the days when terms didn't envelop so many different paths.

I feel your pain flourishes, cardistry, street magic the vocab continues to evolve. I guess that's the same with many things in life. We can't call flip flops thongs anymore for similar reasons :/
