when I was at school we use to levitate?

Question

another pupil with just a finger each, whilst reciting a verse. Can anyone remember doing this? Does it still happen? Can anyone remember the verse?

Answer 1

yes we used to do it in the summer on the school playing field and the teachers were always stopping us?

This is the art of levitation
the sound of silence must not be broken
she/he looks ill - one person says it, then everyone said it together
she/he is ill - one person said it, then everyone else
she/he looks dead - same sequence as above
she/he is dead
cant remember the rest?
but the strange thing is - it worked?!

Answer 2

Its not levitation, you lifted them reciting some inane verse which is irrelevant.

Like 'Crowd Surfing' IT is perfectly possible to lift people with fingers, there is no trick just a misunderstanding of how the human musculature works.
This levitating trick is really quite scientific and not paranormal in nature it has to do with HUMAN DIAMAGNETISM GRAVITY ANTENNA LEVITATION, you can read Richard LeFors Clark's book on this and you might gain a better insight into levitation and how to make it work for you and what's behind it.

Some of the information below is taken from Richard LeFors Clark's book.

Diamagnetism is essentially a magnetic-neutral zone existing between a north and south magnetic field, which can be exploited for purposes of levitation.
Ok Ok - I hear you saying "Just tell us how to do it" - without going into the deep and meaningful scientific explanations which you can read about in Mr Clarks book, the basic thing you need to do to make the levitation work for you is:

1. Have 5 people and a steady chair ready, willing and able to help you in your levitation trick.

2. Decide who is going to be the person you levitate - put that person in the chair -
tell them to sit down, shut up and hang on :).

3. Sit the chair to face due West (sometimes this will work with the chair facing due North - if nothing happens try changing the position).

4. Stand 4 people around the chair in a square i.e. 2 people behind the shoulders and two at either knee (see diagram).

5. The person who is going to be levitated must sit relaxed, with both feet together on the floor, hands in lap.

6. All four participants surrounding the person in the chair should now extend their hands out with fists clenched except two fingers. Palms down, the person beside the shoulder places his or her fingers under the armpit - the person beside the knee places his or her fingers under the knee (you get the idea) - together everyone should try to lift the person in the chair first off before you do anything. You should find that you cannot do it.

7. Try again BUT THIS TIME........ - Everyone place their hands one on top of the other upon the chair sitters head - press down slightly (don't cave the poor persons head in) - no two hands of the one person should be touching each other i.e. one hand of each person on top of the other. Lay your hands as if you would heal this person in the chair! - In unison count to ten - on the count of nine remove all hands QUICKLY together and place under the person in the chair (under armpits and knees), on the count of TEN lift and UP THEY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Answer 3

we used to do that at school one girl would lay down on the floor and three others would stand round her and place a finger each under her we would chant light as a feather stiff as a board and you could lift them it was so cool.
At work the other day one of the guys showed us another way to do it with some one sitting in a chair but i cant remember the chant for that one.

Answer 4

This is an old trick and nothng to dow ith the verse.

They just set it up so at some poitn you belive you can do it and it happens.

Nothing magical or spiritual about it, but how the mind works and positive thinking.

Answer 5

Was it , light as a feather, lighter than air, something like that. Yeah, I used to do it too, and play with the oija board. Scared myself silly, lol.

Answer 6

I usually levitate on Saturday night, on my way home from the pub !

Answer 7

Yes, and I think the phrase was "light as a feather, stiff as a board" - that's the one we used anyway, and it worked.
