Barcelona, Spain, May 2008.
In one spot there was a magician doing a typical magic show: coins disappearing, poking a cigarette into his ear and having it pop out of his mouth. Then he levitated a table with a red velvet cloth on top. He put his hand on the fringe of the velvet cloth, raised it up, and the table mysteriously rose into the air. This was a real table, not a projection or some special effect, and even though I was pretty close I could not for the life of me see how he did it. It just floated in the air, a meter above the ground. As much a magical magic trick as I’ve ever seen…
