Up for sale is a beautiful, rare piece of modern vintage magic history: the original "Floating Bill" routine by legendary creator John Kennedy Magic. This is New Old Stock (NOS), carefully preserved in a climate-controlled collection for over 25 years. It has never been used, performed with, or set up, and was only removed from the box for a few brief moments to take these listing photographs.
The Effect:
A true classic of modern close-up illusion. The magician borrows a paper bill from an audience member, folds it up, and causes it to completely defy gravity—floating smoothly in mid-air right in front of their eyes before handing it back completely clean. John Kennedy's method became the definitive standard for organic, impromptu-style street levitations.
What’s Included & Exceptional Condition:
• The Box: The original, brightly colored John Kennedy Magic display box with festive ribbon and confetti graphics. It is crisp, uncrushed, and has fantastic color retention.
• The Instructions: The original complete, double-sided printed instructional fold-out sheet. It is clean, completely white, and features all original diagrams and text crisp and untouched.
• The Gimmicks & Components: Includes the signature clear tube housing the "Mini Z-Webs" high-grade professional invisible thread filaments, a dual-ended applicator wand, and two setup cards (including a vintage Ohio Elks Association advertising back card).
• Unlike most vintage magic sets where the adhesive has dried out, the setup putty in this kit's little black case has been perfectly preserved and remains completely sticky, and pliable, making this set 100% functional and ready to perform!
A must-have piece for magic historians, John Kennedy completionist collectors, or performers looking for a fully functional, unhandled backup of a legendary close-up utility trick
