Bold as brass:\u003c\/strong\u003e a phone that can turn, light up, and even take flight — all at the magician's fingertips. Enter Júlio Montoro, who not only crafted a dazzling routine but also acted as the creative guru throughout the project. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat they’ve whipped up is a mind-boggling and surprisingly practical illusion. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEverything is cleverly integrated into a phone that looks just like the real deal, working in harmony with a dedicated app (from your actual phone), giving you command over every moment:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePHASE 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Place the phone face-up on the floor and watch it eerily flip over all by itself. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePHASE 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e A gentle nudge on the spectator's finger and voilà — the flashlight bursts into life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePHASE 3:\u003c\/strong\u003e For the grand finale, the phone levitates and glides straight into your hand. Magic, right? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Gimmick come with a specific phone case?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbsolutely. \u003cstrong\u003eLeviosa Phone\u003c\/strong\u003e includes a custom black case that’s crucial for the gimmick’s design and the weight balance needed for this trick. What you see in the video is exactly what you’ll get. Swapping it for another case? Not an option. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI have a different iPhone model. Do you sell a matching case for my phone?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith so many iPhone models out there, it’d be like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands. However, you can snag an affordable and similar-looking case online if you fancy matching the gimmick’s look. But don’t stress — you don’t need a case on your real phone to pull this off. Just a fun fact: Julio Montoro performed this over 200 times with a different dark case (and no one batted an eyelid). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy doesn’t the magician need to use a case identical to the gimmick to perform the trick?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause you’ll never need to show the back of your phone! The audience won’t see it, so matching cases are just a matter of personal preference. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes Leviosa Phone make noise?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you’re performing at events with a bit of background buzz (think mingling guests), the sound won’t be a bother. But if you fancy doing \u003cstrong\u003eLeviosa Phone\u003c\/strong\u003e in complete silence, we’ve got a few tricks up our sleeves to mask the sound. A quick vocal cue, like a soft ‘tch’ or ‘whoosh,’ can heighten the magic and cover up any motor noise. So, in our humble opinion, the sound is no biggie. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I just make the phone float to my hand without having to perform the whole routine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeviosa Phone\u003c\/strong\u003e connects to a web app, letting you set the parameters. So yes, you can have the phone levitate right into your hand if that’s your bag. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many times can I perform before recharging the battery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout 15 performances before it’s time to recharge. There’s even a little LED that lights up red to give you a heads-up that the battery is running low. And even after that warning, you've still got about three chances to wow your audience. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the battery charged? And can I swap it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe battery charges via a standard USB-C port, right where your actual phone charges. If you ever need to swap it out, it can be done in just a few seconds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I turn ON the gimmick?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the performance, a discreet button on the right side of the case gets pressed, and the gimmick gives a little buzz to let you know it’s ready to roll. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Leviosa screen light up?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNope, it doesn’t light up. But fear not! The screen is crafted from genuine glass (specially made for us), making it look 100% like a real phone. Put the \u003cstrong\u003eLeviosa Phone\u003c\/strong\u003e next to an actual phone, and it’ll be a right challenge to tell them apart. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI have an Android phone. Do you sell an Android version of Leviosa Phone?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot necessary! As per the instructions, you never need to show the back of your phone. If you’re rocking an Android, you can still show the front normally — and since the audience only sees that, they won’t have a clue. The illusion works brilliantly whether your personal phone is Android or iPhone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of Leviosa Phone?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe gimmick measures approximately:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 146.6 mm (5.77 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 70.6 mm (2.78 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 8.25 mm (0.32 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Murphy's Magic Supplies, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56479925272900,"sku":"LEVIOSA_PHONE","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/1826\/4644\/files\/78632-full_00569312-8893-4426-a44a-3922bfb5c596.png?v=1782894528","url":"https:\/\/www.handpickedmagic.com\/products\/leviosa-phone-by-joao-miranda-and-julio-montoro-1","provider":"Hand Picked Magic ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
