Hoverman

Abstract

A levitation device for performing illusionary magic. Manually controlled by a three way valve switch concealed in the hand. Extending from the valve and running up the sleeve of the arm are three air lines in which the CO2 passes. One line is the supply line which comes from the CO2 tank that is strapped to the person's waist with a belt and straps, the secondary line or waste line provides for the release of air pressure as the person slowly descends to the ground. The third line leads down the side or back of the person into and down the pant leg eventually connecting to the shoe lift cylinder, which is custom fitted into the heel of the shoe. Activating the three way valve switch in the persons hand immediately and slowly increases the air pressure enabling the shoe cylinder piston shaft and platform to extend out from the heel bottom and downwards towards the ground, lifting the person four to six inches creating an illusionary floating like effect. With the slow release of gas pressure the person slowly descends to the ground.

1 - A manually operable levitation device for conveniently creating, actual levitation effect. Comprising a modified shoe, and cylinder with a movable protruding piston shaft and adapted platform, to provide upward lifting motion. With air pressure line securely attached.  
   
   
       2 - A device as defined in claim one, in which the shoe is modified to allow for proper and secure attachment of the shoe cylinder to the inside of the shoe heel, allowing free movement of the shoe cylinder piston shaft and platform.  
   
   
       3 - A device as defined in claim two in which the shoe cylinder, necessitates no less than one hundred and thirty five P.S.I to become activated, providing the amount of lift required. A levitation device in which the air pressure, supplied by an air tank and manually controlled, is distributed with the use of air pressure lines. A device in which all relating amenities when assembled and fitted provide for real effects, unlimited use and satisfying results.
