Levitation is a paranormal phenomenon with no scientific basis which includes a man’s act of rising himself above the floor without anything to hold on and elevate into. The person levitating is merely seen as almost flying in the air.

But this levitation trick is now revealed. They are saying that the audience should be seated at 45 degree angle to see only one foot. Then the trickster must lift one foot above the ground a few inches away while balancing his weight on the second foot. As one foot is lifted, the second foot gains weight of the body and is not shown in front of the audience.

A magician also may cheat by levitating light objects into the air on an invisible thread like levitating a leaf on the trickster’s head in which invisible thread are hinged on to. These kinds of threads are often commercially sold in the market where magic equipments are found.
