Beware of levitating rings or other paranormal claims of levitation on Ebay. This is a physical impossibility, defying the laws of physics and these auctions are a hoax. Many have made the claim, had their picture taken performing the stunt and that's about it. There is no historical record of anything being levitated by any other means than pure trickery, and not one soul has ever stepped forward to make a purely public demonstration of their claim to do so in a scientifically controlled environment. And no one has ever stepped forward to perform this feat before a randomly selected group of people either. Be it Majick, Paranormal, Psychokinesis, White Magic or otherwise, no one can honestly say they are able to make an object or person for that matter, levitate. David Blaine and Chris Angel hide behind the veil of trick photography and have never considered such a demonstration under these controlled conditions. By Scientific methods only, there are different ways to levitate things. For instance, a helicopter can be considered as a very impressive levitation device that uses a stream of air to keep floating. Scientists have also found many ways to levitate things without any noise or the need for petrol or air, by using electromagnetic fields. Levitating trains and levitating displays are but two examples of electromagnetic levitation. However, in all such schemes, a source of energy (an engine, motor or battery at least) is always required to keep an object afloat for any period of time. Remove the source of power and the levitation inevitably and most definitely stops. Consider this- If someone had the power to make something levitate on its own, without the use of any other device or apparatus, they would certainly receive the Nobel Prize. The applications and benefits to mankind would be endless, the monetary profits in the billions of dollars. An individual with such capabilities could not be bothered selling on Ebay or being a television magician for that matter, the wealth would be unimaginable. And heres the clincher, regardless of the material income possible, not one person has ever come forward to share their disillusioned gift with the human race. Not one. Ever. Its a flat out lie, please dont fall for it.
