This is known as "The King Rising".
Levitate in front of people, shock them as they see both of your feet leave the ground and float back down. This will teach you how to do it yourself and after some practice, in front of people.
I figure I'd get the "what you need" out of the way first. Pretty much all you need is a good balance, an object like a coat or an umbrella, and some light weight shoes. It also would help if you used black socks, but I couldn't find any in my closet.
For a better video of King Rising go to: http://www.levitation.org/king-levitation.htm
Also in the background of my video, you can see the picture of one of my wireless cameras (x10 w/ battery pack). I was trying to show you how it was done while I was doing it, but the lighting is too bad (one light bulb w/ a glazed over cover).

Signing UpStep 1Prepare for the event.
First off make sure you've got everyhting you need.
If you're doing this in front of people you'll want to do something along these lines:
Before performance: Loosing up one of your shoes so it's easy to slip your foot in and out of it.
1. Tell the spectator(s) that there are magnetic fields (or make up something if you want) located around the world and that if you really concentrate, you can use those fields to levitate.
2. Postion yourself sideways to the spectators (in my case it was my dog).
3. While you're positioning yourself (cause you're looking for a "magnetic field" to use), use your foot that's still in a tightly tied shoe to step on the side of the loose shoe.

I always shop at Wizmo Magic now. They are very nice, helpful people.
their Magic Tricks are better than the E's too. Not unoriginal crap!
The trick itself is not copywrited. How can you copywrite a magic trick? "I got your nose!" is now copywrited by me. Everytime your grandpa does it, he owes me $59.99.
Their video describing how to is. This isn't that video. So you should be fine. Though I don't condone putting "magic trick how-to's" up for everyone to see.
A) Someone had to buy them, so for you to show someone how to do it, they just saved $$ or you just lost $$. Also, everyone else that bought is having the trick ruined by you. You probably didn't buy it so why should you care? But if you paid $39 for it, would you post it here?
B) If you post how to do magic tricks then everyone will know how it's done. Then it's not magic now eh? You lost a piece of your own "special knowledge"
X) Magic is magic because someone doesn't know the secret behind what your doing. Telling them makes what your doing not magic anymore.
There are a few websites for real magicians to go and exchange tips, tricks and ideas. You have to be invited by someone to gain entrance. Thank god we don't have any users like this poster, or the hundreds just like him that post here.
