Levitation is a magic illusion where an object or person appears to defy gravity by floating in mid-air without visible support.

Performers achieve the levitation effect through a combination of advanced techniques including hidden wires, magnets, air pressure manipulation, and optical illusions. The levitation illusion is enhanced by careful control of lighting and audience perspective, creating a convincing spectacle that challenges the viewer’s understanding of physical laws.

The artful execution of levitation tricks creates a powerful impression of supernatural ability. The performer’s skill lies in maintaining the levitation illusion’s believability, often through meticulous preparation, acting, and misdirection, ensuring the audience remains focused on the levitation effect rather than its method.
