An explanation of how street magic tricks are done. This segment focuses on the levitation trick.

The clip explores the methods and editing techniques apparent in the Criss Angel 'levitation' trick. Including calculating the height of the crane he is suspended from by examining the very noticable swinging in his movement.

An educational video describing how the technology of superconductors and magnetic levitation works. (You can skip to 5:41 if you want to avoid the bad CGI intro.)

Suspending water using Ultrasonic Levitation

Jason performs his amazing magic with the aid of a random audience member at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2007. (Note: The swearing is in Irish, which for some reason isn't as bad)

This looks like fun! Awesome!

The Levitron spins and surfs on magnetic waves! Pass your hand above, underneath, and around the top. It will continue to spin and float only touching air! The LEVITRON floats free in space, supported only by the repelling magnetic force produced by permanent magnets.
