i’m pretty good at solving magic tricks and finding their “prestige” … but for some time now i’ve been pussled by how the floating cigarette is performed. i’ve noticed the cigarette always follows one of the “magician’s” hands, but yet i can’t find the right solution to this trick.

Fearson’s floating cigarette is a magical illusion created by Steve Fearson in the early 1990s. The performer displays a cigarette which behaves in almost a magnetic fashion, sticking to a fingertip, the tongue etc. Next it floats from hand to hand before suddenly dropping down near the floor.
As it moves up again it passes through a ring formed by the performer’s fingers, as a “proof” that there is no external support, and ends up in the performer’s mouth. The main principle is based on using a very thin thread, an old principle. But what Fearson had discovered during his attempts to duplicate John Kennedys’ effect was a new and unorthodox way of arranging the thread. One end of the invisible thread is attached by wax to the cigarette and the other end is attached to the right thumb, with the middle of the invisible thread is attached to the head, making it possible to create effects that previous to Fearson’s discovery had been impossible, such as making the cigarette fall to the ground (performed by placing the right thumb near the head, causing the cigarette to fall down). This arrangement is now referred to as the “Fearson’s Hookup”, and has spawned many variations.
