Here is what I thought (I can be a bit critical of stage magic so forgive me for being mean)

Interesting idea however I feel it has all been done a little wrong, I cant quite put my finger on it. Firstly the levitation is all far too mechanical, so it's obvious how the effect is done, it needs to be more fluid. secondly (and this may be different seeing it live rather than as a clip) I personally was unaware that there was a guy in the middle from the start, so, to start with I was mildly impressed with a large floating balloon (although it could have been helium at that point for all I know) and then when they reveal the guy inside yes I was momentarily surprised but then he spends another length of time repeating the levitation and i felt like I had already seen that.  

In all honesty I think the 4.25 second act is roughly 4 minutes too long.

I thought it would have worked better if he could have come out of the second
balloon/bubble and then floated around as well. It did not seem too much of a mystery.
