I doubt it is. Only there is this guy named David Blaine(I think) that can just levitate in front of people on the street at any moment with absolutly nothing around him and I cant figure out how the hell he does it.

It's just magnetics 1-0-1

Opposites attract while similar oppose.

There are probably some neodyum magnets in their shoes or something and some electromagnets nearby, using the computer to balence the electromagnets you can easily levitate.

You seen him do that BDSM thing where he suspends himself from the helicpoter -- I wreckon he's just perfected that fo on the street stuuf (the audience proably never looks up the building with the crane towering over them.)

-If you look closely,, he swings like a pendulum while he is lifting. --which sort of adds to the illusion, giving it that hovering look.
-- I know I know, he does it on the audience --- got me stumped!

A magnetic field that would lift the mass of a human, would send any smaller mass flying, garbage can lid, glasses, belt buckles.

Magnets have very low direction, It is an apple shaped field or U shaped loop. It can be done on a tabletop, if the object stays centered in the field.

A human wearing magnets would be an odd shaped field, attracted or repelled, the largest surface would aline with the force. Maybe lead shoes?

Any other conducter in the field would change the balance, parked cars, manhole covers, power lines.

The magnets would have to be above or below, and large. They would wipe out any computer within blocks.

No one said how high, a whole other problem.

If I could lift a human on the street, I could put a shipping container out to the Clark Belt.

A holographic projection could be moved from one building to another with two small lasers.

Perhaps David Blaine is just light hearted?

leveltating sounds like me playing an MMO

Anyways, I think you are looking for levitating and I am pretty skeptical on it. I can see the magnets trick or something but I don't think that pure will-power will influence the environment around one.
