This automaton differs from the previous one: the Fechner’s levitation. It uses a complete different principle, no magnets this time. Laetitia floats in the air when you turn the handle and the arms raise. A mirror in her back shows there is nothing to hide and creates a perfect illusion for this levitation. Also the flames from the candles twirl and move up.
A wondrous Tale
Laetitia Princess of the AiR who broke the bonds of gravity, in the name of love
Legend has it that one fateful New Year’s Eve, the beautiful Laetitia spied a handsome stranger – Richard Garriott – riding atop a magical Octopus.
It was love at first sight
But who was this mysterious man, said to walk among the stars ; and how could she catch his eye – let alone, his heart ?
The story goes that at the stroke of midnight, Princess Laetitia snuck up behind him and stole a single kiss.
Richard was so moved by both her beauty and the newly awakened passion burning in his heart, witnesses claim the couple floated, arm in arm, up into the heavens – where they continue to live happily, forever after.
