I saw this on one of those magicians secrets things the other night. stand 5 or ten feet in front of someone a little to their left and stand at a slight angle so they can't really see much of your left foot. then go up on your left toe making sure your heels are lined up.

My mom's jaw dropped, my sister went "...that's...cool...."

I ordered that magicians secret book for 20 bucks a few weeks ago just for that trick alone. I have to admit, it works and people become amazed. I showed it now to all my co workers and relatives. You have to drill a bit in front of a mirror, and after a half hour or so of practice, you're ready to role. I told one of my secretaries that every time I levitate, I get a headache because my energy is drained. LOL Great trick.

On the show they said that they do that and film people's reaction. Then they bring out the wires and stuff and lift the person up a lot more. They get someone in the crew to wear the same color jacket as the person/ people that were in the street shot and they have the camera behind them and film it again.

I can really levitate.

I still can't figure out how to do it from your explanation, Jun Erh?

Chen, do a search on Balducci Levitation on Google.com, and you'll find a website that explains it. :)

you just lift one foot up off the ground a little and go up on the ball of your other foot. got to make sure that your heels line up so it looks like both are off the ground.
