Frank Bez recalled he had the idea of this photoshoot after reading an interview Jim had given for Ladies Home Journal, where he said that he “had a way to talk to girls that made them levitate.” The photographer then contacted Jim andsuggested him that they could create a shoot with Jim ‘levitating’ girls.

"There’s a place in L.A. called the Magic Castle," Frank Bez told Esquire in an interview. "It's what you'd call a mansion, up in the hills in Hollywood. It’s a club for magicians.So I came up and said, "Can you direct me to someone who specializes in levitation?’ They put me in touch with a guy, and he said, 'Well, I'll tell you how to do it, but I'll kill you if you tell anyone else.'"

Frank Bez was a photographer in Hollywood and his work includes artistic portraits of people from Hollywood in the 1960s. He captured a young Jane Fonda, Raquel Welch, Jimmy Stewart, as well as more artistic works.
