No, we do not show you how to make a couch fly in this trick but this trick will work with any object, big or small or assistance, male or female.

The assistant is brought up to center stage. She is placed in a reclining position on a couch and then covered with a large cloth.

She is commanded to rise. Once she has risen to a height of one foot above the couch, the couch is taken away and the magician walks all around the floating woman.

She continues to rise until she is well over the head of the magician. Then she slowly descends until she is level with the magician's head. Again she begins to rise. This time, the magician takes hold of the cloth and while she is rising, the cloth is whisked away. The woman is gone, vanished right in front of the audience.
