The King Rising levitation is a an illusion created by "magician" Cory King often performed as part of a street magic routine. Just like the Balducci levitation, the King Rising Levitation is totally impromptu. In this illusion, people will see both feet come up off the ground. The effect has the advantage of being angle-friendly, meaning the illusion can be watched from any point without being figured out by the audience.

Here is how you do it:

The audience should be about 15-20 feet away or they will see that your foot is not in your shoe. Stand at a side angle to them. Wear tennis shoes and baggy pants. Also a jacket is needed.

First, take the jacket and say the stuff about the magicians doing it with a jacket in front of their feet. While the jacket is there, take out your foot that is the furthest away from them out of your shoe and put it at a perpendicular angle with your shoe (the very back of your heel is pushing against the side of the shoe.) Make sure this socked foot is far enough back where the spectator can't see it sticking out. Drop the jacket and say you aren't doing your levitation that way. Now tell them to watch your feet. Lean a little to the side, leaning all your weight on the socked foot. Don't lean too much though. Now go onto the tippy toe of this foot, kind of like Balducci but your socked foot is at a different angle. When you are going on the tippy toes, use your heel to straddle the empty shoe to the other shoe. It will look like both feet are coming off the ground. And at the angle the audience is at, they can't see the socked foot.

When you are "up off the ground" wobble a little to add to the effect and drop back down. DO IT A MAX OF 2 TIMES. They will want to see it again but don’t show them. To be safe, do it only once.This may seem like the Balducci, but it is much greater than that. It gets a HUGE effect when performed right. Practice your lifting and angles and getting your foot in and out of your shoe. So basically, lift the shoe with the leg.
