This paper looks at the feasbility of using wires too thin to be resolved by the human eye as a means ofmaking a stage magician float. It is found that for the two configurations tested, a stresses of 4.9 GPaand 3.51 GPa would be exerted upon the wire. These are both notably more than the tensile strengthof steel, but not so high as to be unfeasable in the future. This doesn’t rule out wire in total though asother combinations of wire and methods of consealment may be used
