Tractor Beam (Gimmicks and Online Instructions) by John Kennedy Magic - TrickTractor Beam is a custom designed laser pointer that makes objects move just like science fiction! The YouTube video shows it in action but really can't do justice as to how mind boggling and impossible it looks in real life. The unit is extremely reliable, and numerous prototypes were made and tested to achieve the final foolproof design. And it's completely self contained. No palmed or hidden devices are used, and no advance preparation is needed.
