How to levitate has been an age-old pursuit, and being a former stage magician (that's right, I gave it up years ago), I can tell you truthfully there is no such thing so far as stage performers are concerned.
That's the truth about magic, it's all a big fraud...
But people seem to like being fooled, and there are no end of those who like to fool them, it seems.
I have discovered, however, that true levitation is indeed possible, once you understand what gravity really is and what it is not....
You see, gravity is not some magical magnetic-like force pulling objects toward the earth. It's really a force that pushes objects toward the earth by passing though molecules of matter and imparting an earthward spin to each molecule, which in turn creates a downward momentum.
And when the spin is reversed, such as with helium and hot air, an opposite upward momentum is created that lifts against the force of gravity. And this can be true of "heavy" as well as gaseous, lighter-than-air molecules.
To levitate a person, for instance, all that is needed is a means of turning the force of gravity around in a local region or area surrounding the person.
And that is easier said than done, obviously, or we'd all be levitating around here and there, and anti-gravity cars would really exist, and not just remain figments of the sci-fi writers' vivid imaginations.
So how can this be done?
It seems some insects, such as the humble non-aerodynamic bumblebee among others, might hold the surprising answer.
Even a wasp nest could contain some of the key to cracking the anti-gravity code.
It seems that certain shapes -- or more specifically spaces -- can, and do have a local effect on gravity and this may well eventually lead to the discovery of resonant spaces which counter the force of gravity with an equal or greater force in the opposite direction.
Meanwhile, without all the flashy lights, glittery backdrops, super-strong but micro-fine wire, backstage crane rigging and chutzpa of pretend magicians (or the help of demonic alien technology) levitation will remain a fraud and fiction rooted more in the hopes and dreams of mankind to rise above our mortal and terrestrial bounds.
That may only come about once we learn the vital lessons of humility, reasoned compassion, intolerance of evil (according to a law more perfect than carnal man alone is capable of either contriving or upholding), and embracing of peace and goodwill according to the perfect and longstanding plan and purpose of our Maker and Creator.
If it is His will.
Oh, and while you've got your thinking cap on . . .
