A magician has baffled an air hostess with an incredible levitating napkin trick.
Ismail Allawala, 33, stunned flight passengers with a levitating napkin on board his flight from London to Dubai last month.

Ismail said: ‘I was inspired by David Copperfield when I saw him at age five and my dad bought my first trick from Hamleys in 1993 at the age of 10.

‘When I saw David Blaine I decided it was time to take this to the next level so I bought books and cassettes and started learning magic while studying.’
He added: ‘I have been traveling quite frequently between Pakistan, UK and US due to work, and magic helps time pass by a bit more quickly on long 16 hour flights.
‘My friends insist I go with them to the bank for an easy heist using my magic.’
