All of the techniques used are in the literature and have been in the literature for years. They are just not conveniently organized and clearly not under the title “floating Light bulb”. In fact most of the literature discusses floating objects other than light bulbs. It is all hidden in plain sight! You might assume that such an unconventional way to transmit power compromises on practicality. And you couldn’t be more wrong. Michael Faraday’s first law of electromagnetic induction states that “a voltage is induced in a circuit whenever relative motion exists between a conductor and a magnetic field and that the magnitude of this voltage is proportional to the rate of change of the flux.” Basically, NASA's satellite images of the moon served as the blueprint for this patented design. Modern state-of-the-art 3D printing technology recreates the satellite images in the form of a miniature moon replica—fun fact: each Luna takes over 28 hours to make.

Regardless, I would still encourage you to try other, less ponderous effects. It's amazing how much performing under such conditions will hone your magic. Since folks on the street don't care about you, they'll tell you if they catch you. And, since you'll never see them again, just accept their suggestions/criticisms/derision while waving goodbye. *laugh*The secret lies in a little something known as electromagnetic induction. Electromagnetic Induction Most of these lamps are not sufficient light sources on their own. Instead, you can use them as decorative, ambient lighting. The effect is direct and simple - a burning light bulb floats. However, what the audience sees is the light bulb suspended from a finger, floating across the stage and through hoops, and then floating directly out and over the audience.

Not only is this floating magnetic lamp the first of its kind, but it’s also the only one designed after a traditional lamp. Besides just the maglev technology, you’ll find that Silhouette boasts a myriad of innovative design solutions.Instead of the upright floating mechanisms we’ve seen thus far, VGAzer overturns expectations and literally turns over the entire display. This leaves us with an upside-down incandescent-styled bulb. Unless one is working in a place where there's an obvious "fourth wall," one has to be careful when performing effects wherein there is opportunity for folks to get a little grabby with the props. The light bulb seems to be one of them to me. In the case of our floating magnetic lamps, there is a continually changing magnetic field around the entire display. The closed-circuit refers to the floating bulb, and the conductor is a coiled magnet inside the base of the bulb. If you’re wondering which part lights up, it’s the top half. When powered on, a ring of LEDs along the bottom circumference of the shade light up. The light from these LEDs cascades through a glass casing, casting ambient light onto the rest of the lamp. That’s right, Luna floating lamp is a perfect replica of the full moon, down to each and every crevice, ridge, and indentation. In other words, it’s basically a scaled-down version of the moon.
