If by "levitate" you mean something like "rise off the ground or floor without visible supports, aircraft, baloons or other mechanical devices," the answer is: "sorry."
It is possible to "float" a magnetic object in space between the poles of a very powerful electromagnet in the shape of a "C," but the amount of power required is really tremendous when measured against the amount of weight that can be lifted that way. It's a parlour trick, without practical application.
No other means of "levitation" is currently known to science. Sorry.

Contact the magician, David Blaine. He has apparently mastered the art of levitation. He even has his own website:

I hear also that Buddhist monks have learned how to overcome gravity. You could consider joining a Buddhist convent.

hop in a helicopter, skydive, fart really really hard, strap a fan to your butt, or sit on some birds.
