Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })To start, the magician and his Lovely Assistant enter together. On stage there is a flat board that is clean and clear. The girl lies down on the board in a straight position. The magician stands along with the board and starts his magic. After some time the girl starts rising in the air. When the magician points his finger downward, the girl also starts lowering in the air. It amazed the whole audience. Sometimes, the magician will put a blanket over his assistant, then make her disappear. Can sometimes overlap with Zero-G Spot and Love Floats. Compare Saw a Woman in Half, another common routine done by the magician and his assistant, and Pull a Rabbit out of My Hat, for another stock magic trick. |

On the Happy Days episode "The Magic Show" (S 6 E 14), The Fonz fills in for magician Randi the Great (playing himself). One of the tricks he performs is the floating lady, the version where he moves hoops around the assistant to "prove" there are no wires holding her up. | |

In The Adventures of Superman episode "The Magic Secret", it turns out Perry White can perform a more impressive version of the trick (the performer can do it anywhere and the woman magically becomes super-stiff). Jimmy's quest to find out the secret ends up with him, Lois, and Superman trapped in a pit with a Kryptonite ray keeping the Man of Steel from breaking them out. Luckily, Superman knows the same trick. He manages to use Lois as a brace to stop the encroaching walls long enough for Jimmy to redirect the ray. | |

In a Sesame Street Muppet skit, Stage Magician The Amazing Mumford has Grover climb up on a pedestal. Mumford then recites magic words, removes the supporting pillar, and the platform remains in mid-air! After the magician leaves, Grover decides to do the same trick on one of his larger monster friends (while not knowing the secret), with disastrous results! | |

A gender-flipped version occurs in Superman, where magician Zatanna (in her evil days) discovers a power source that can make her invincible. One drawback is that this power is so raw that absorbing it directly is fatal. Zatanna manages to paralyze Superman, levitate his body overhead, then absorb the godlike power filtered through Superman's body. | |
