Magic Tricks on Ellen

Mentalist Gerard Senehi performed some amazing mentalism and magic tricks on the Ellen Degeneres show today.

One of the magic tricks he performed was Steve Fearson's Original Floating Cigarette Routine!

Of course the floating cigarette has been performed on television countless times by dozens of magicians around the world. I think the last time it was on tv before this was in the magic special "T.H.E.M. - Totally Hidden Extreme Magic." A guy named De la Vega performed it that time. Just a couple years before that, David Blaine did the trick on one of his television specials. It wasn't Street Magic, it was one of the other ones. He floated a leaf for some natives in the jungle though instead of levitating a ciagrette.

You can levitate any small object with the trick, just visit the following link to see a demo video:

If you only learn one magic trick, make it this one. You don't have to know any other magic tricks or sleight of hand to learn to do this trick either. I'm not saying it's easy, it will take a bit of practice but it will be well worth it. You will not need any other magic tricks besides this.

Good Luck!
