Machini the Marvel performing The Study of Levitations

Machini the Marvel is back to perform his next mystifying illustion.

When the crank is rotated he lifts his head and closes his eyes. With a wave of his hand, the ink in the inkwell rises, the leather bound book on the lecturn opens, and the pen spins in its holder.

As he moves his arm back to its starting postion, the pen stops moving, the book closes, and the ink drops. Finally, his performance complete, he lowers his head and opens his eyes.
