This is a fantastic up close magic trick that you can do for any small crowd of people. It doesn't require any props, or even a lot of practice. When you do this with the right amount of buildup, your friends will think you have powerful magical abilities.
The trick goes just like this. You are hanging out with some friends, possibly at a club or a celebration. You in some manner steer the dialogue around to levitation. Perhaps you might ask your close friends if levitation is perhaps achievable. You say you have learned how to do it, but you have not tried it yet, as you are too afraid of the nasty consequences. They naturally ask to see you try it, you take a few steps back, and like magic levitate off the floor a few inches. You drop back onto the ground, and shake your head and hands, trying to remove the wicked spirits that helped to elevate you up, maybe even wondering why you did what you did.
This is the magic formula. You stand with your friends in a relatively pretty little location just away to your left. If you were to draw an imaginary cone from where you are positioned to the area where they are standing, make certain the cone is smaller than 45 degrees. Holding your fingers out for stability, lift yourself up utilizing only your right foot, up as high as you could on your toes. Maintain your left foot parallel to the floor. By positioning yourself so that they can't see your right foot, you will seem to have levitated off the ground.
It's essential to keep them distracted as much as possible, and just "levitate" for a couple of seconds. Talk about how frightening it is, or how you sensed an wicked existence while you were staying levitated. As quickly as you come back lower, quickly return to your group, and refer back again to the area where you levitated as if it some dim evil spot that you do not even wish to look at. This is a strategy where you need to do some pre-trick buildup, rapidly do the trick, and then do some post-trick cover up. If you merely say "Hey, watch me levitate," and then levitate and stand there waiting around for applause, they'll swiftly grow suspicious. Folks like talking about spooky things, and if you can build up a "account" around this, so much the better.
A single word of extreme caution. 100s of levitation videos can be found on the Internet that you can observe. These are very carefully spliced together using a variety of group responses and many various camera perspectives. Since you are unable to cut and edit in real life, you have to make sure you do this rapidly, and encircle the trick itself with tales of mystery and the unnatural.
A single method to do this is to tell everyone how scared you are of actually trying this, and make everyone in your group promise to purchase you a drink if you are successful. Once you finish off, quickly tell them how exhausted you are and how unpleasant it was to break the laws of physics like that. Naturally, if they keep asking you how you truly did this, tell them you need an additional beer first. Enjoy yourself!
