Automaton of Magician Doing a Levitatation Trick
I adore and admire the work of automata maker Pierre Mayer. Here is one of his recent pieces depicting a magician levitating from his stool. Simply amazing!From the Cabaret Mechanical Theatre:
Fechner's Levitation on Stool Automata
The latest piece from French magician/automatist Pierre Mayer, this piece is based on the cigar smoking magician Fechner, who levitates above his stool, even more puzzling is that the arms raise during the levitation without any links to the mechanism -- many magicians have already been fooled by this!
Do visit the CMT online shop to see Fechner's Levitation on Stool Automata and MANY superb automata.

Does anyone have any clue how this works? Does he rise up along one of the stool legs? Interesting to know the magic behind. Charles
Charles,
Even if I knew...I would not say how.
Remember: a magician never reveals his secrets!
Best,
Dug
Or, pay $3000 to find out his magic trick. Ha ha. Charles
