How to Levitate Objects with Loops
You鈥檙e at a dinner or a party and someone hands you a five-dollar bill. You hold it between your hands, let go, and it stays there, hanging in mid-air. Or you place a pen on the table and make it crawl toward you without touching it. This course shows you how to do exactly that using a tool called "loops."
What This Skill Does For You
Learning to use loops lets you perform magic with borrowed objects anywhere you go. It turns a normal moment into something impossible because the objects seem to have a life of their own. You won鈥檛 just be doing a "trick"鈥攜ou鈥檒l be creating a moment that makes people stop what they鈥檙e doing just to watch.
How It鈥檚 Taught
Julio Ribera breaks the process into five simple lessons. He starts by showing you the mechanics with a thick white string so you can actually see what鈥檚 happening. You鈥檒l learn the "why" behind the movement before you ever touch the invisible thread. He also covers the "boring" but vital stuff, like how to stretch your loops so they don't snap and how to carry them in your wallet without tangling them.
What Level Is This For?
This is perfect for beginners because it doesn't require difficult finger movements or "sleight of hand." The hardest part is learning the "touch"鈥攌nowing how much you can pull the thread before it breaks. You鈥檒l probably break a few loops while you practice, but once you understand the tension, you can do this with your eyes closed.
About Julio Ribera
Julio Ribera is a street magic expert who has taught thousands of students through his Magigram platform. He specializes in magic that works in the real world, like restaurants and sidewalks, where the lighting isn't always perfect and people are standing close to you.
What鈥檚 Included
- The difference between thread reels, ITRs, and loops
- How to pre-stretch loops so they last for months
- The secret to using shadows to keep the thread 100% invisible
- Why "animations" (small movements) often get better reactions than long levitations
- How to use "static electricity" as a believable excuse for the magic
- A clever way to hide your loops inside a standard wallet
Frequently Asked Questions
How long until I can actually use this?
You can learn the basic move in about ten minutes. However, you should spend a few days practicing with the thread at home to get used to the tension so you don't break it in front of an audience.
What if people see the thread?
Julio teaches you exactly how to manage your environment. He shows you which lighting angles to avoid and what colors of clothing make the thread disappear completely. If you follow his rules for "direct light," they won't see a thing.
Is this easier with certain objects?
Yes. Lightweight objects like bills, receipts, or feathers are the easiest to start with. Julio explains which items work best and which ones are too heavy for standard loops.
Can I learn this without a teacher watching?
Definitely. Because Julio uses a high-visibility white string for the explanations, you can clearly see the "path" of the thread. You just copy his hand positions in a mirror.
