Any technology to apply levitation?
I have seen that David Coperfield and many ilusionist can levitate their body easy.
I think that they apply some secret technology.
Thanks for your sharing.

There are lots of ways you can levitate something: a cushion of air, magnetic fields, radiation pressure.
But don't believe nonsense about magicians. If David Copperfield ever levitated, he was doing it from wires.There was actually a video somewhere that exposed his trick. He uses high-tech wires that are transparent that can carry a large amount of force. The loops and other tricks used to prove the absence of wires in his 'show' are just tricks that actually do not expose the wires, but use trickery to avoid them. try searching youtube.
i do remember once viewing a documentery on the Bermuda triangle. some guy thought the mysterious stuff was caused by magnetic forces. He had some machine that would levitate stuff. It was however ridiculously expensive to run, used a lot of power. It was quite interesting though
There was an experiment carried out in a physics lab where they levitated a frog.

The frog learned to fly!!! 
The experiments with water droplets are cool too. When the drop-size is reduced further, analogies with nucleon, gluon and other fusion reactions are modelled well by this procedure.

Jesus dude, he is a magician. IT IS ALL SMOKE AND MIRRORS.
You are not supposed to think he is magical, you are supposed to be amazed at how good he is at tricking you, and then think about how he might have done it.
There are also applications in Japan where trains are levitating with strong magnetic fields. These can go at high speed with little friction and do not require that much energy, since electromagnets need only a small amount of electricity to work.
