As a child, I discovered I could levitate a ping pong ball on a stream of air from the output pipe of a vacuum cleaner. This is similar to optical levitation of a glass bead in a laser beam (pressure from photon recoil instead of an air stream). I hope you enjoy the many exciting ways to levitate objects.
Many levitation videos can be found on YouTube. Here is a good place to start.

There is a
good Magnetic Levitation project and circuit in the September 2003 issue of Nuts
and Volts magazine. See the article in .pdf format at the Magnetic Levitation
