In addition to playing ouija, feel the thrill of the game "as light as a feather" which is very popular since time immemorial as a way to pass the time when staying up late with friends. When playing a game that seems to involve magical powers, 4 or 5 people lift 1 person using only their fingers. Did he lift off the floor because he could float? Effect of suggestion? Magnetic strength? The combination of muscle strength, balance and weight distribution? Whatever the reason, this game can create a magical atmosphere!
Step
Method 1 of 2: Getting Ready
Step 1. Have the person willing to be lifted lie on their back on the floor with their arms crossed over their chest
Place a foam rubber mat or pillow for him to lie down on so he is comfortable and in case he falls. The four lifters must kneel or sit next to the person to be lifted, 2 by the shoulder, 2 by the knee. If there is a fifth person, he must kneel or sit near the top of the person who is lying down.
Step 2. Designate one of the lifters as leader
Usually, the host is the leader, but it can also be someone who has already played. He is responsible for directing the team to play the best possible role. So, the leader must understand how to do this game from start to finish.
The show feels more exciting if before playing, the leader tells the horror story or the supernatural power behind the game while in a theatrical style, especially if they believe it
Step 3. Interlace your fingers like you want to pray
Straighten both index fingers. When playing, the lifter only needs to use both index fingers to lift. Then, place the index finger on the upper back near the armpit and knee crease of the person who is lying down according to their respective positions. If there is a fifth lifter, have him place his index finger under the shoulder of the person who is lying down.
Step 4. Try lifting
If you are the leader, have all lifters try to lift the person who is lying down, but do not count down or give cues. Let them start on their own. Usually, the person lying down is raised slightly or not at all. They will give up because they can't lift people with just 2 fingers.
At this time, the leader explained why they failed to lift. For example, people who lie down feel very heavy if they haven't been possessed by a wandering spirit because they haven't cast a spell to summon it. So they have to take it more seriously
Method 2 of 2: Applying Strict Strategies
Step 1. Prepare all team members to lift one more time
Once you've convinced the team how hard it is to lift people up, it's time to apply the simple "mind-making" tactic to make you more believable or at least make the game feel more mystical. In addition, take the time to explain the concept behind this game.
- Use creativity when giving explanations. For example, the leader explained that wandering spirits will possess people who are lying down so that their bodies look like corpses and can float. Make up as scary stories as you can!
- Dim the lights and light some candles for a more mystical atmosphere.
Step 2. Place both palms on the head of the person who is lying down
Make sure the palms of each lifter are interspersed with the palms of the other person. Press the palm of the hand on the head of the person to be lifted, but not too hard! Tell the team that this step makes his body ready to be affected by supernatural forces and entered by wandering spirits so that it becomes light. Remove your hands from the pile and place them at the very bottom.
Step 3. Say the mantra, "As light as a feather, as hard as a board"
In addition, you can use other spells, for example, "As light as a feather, as strong as a bull." Say the mantra together over and over again. The person to be lifted must lie still with his eyes closed. Say a spell and then start lifting.
Step 4. Lift the person lying down while continuing to chant
This time, the team members were able to lift it easily. Then, lower it slowly to the floor while continuing to chant. The leader must command the spirit to leave the body of the person lying on the floor. Game over!
Tips
- When trying to lift, team members are usually indecisive and unfocused. They could not lift in unison because there was no rhythm to chant. When lifting the second time while concentrating, they move simultaneously on cue. The person being lifted feels much lighter because the load is distributed evenly and everyone lifts simultaneously.
- This tactic is more effective if the person being lifted is serious and stiffens the body by tightening the muscles as the lifter pronounces the spell. A stiff body is easier to lift.
- Know that the fingers have enormous power. The Guinness World Record set a world record for the power of the little finger to lift a weight of 67 kilograms.
Warning
- Do not drop the person being lifted.
- If you want to light a candle to make the atmosphere even more magical, place the candle far enough from the blanket and turn off the candle after playing.
