I know a lot of you may be wondering what exactly all this means and how do you do it? So to answer the question of what all this means; it means you can LEVITATE! To answer the second question, I'm going to give you some directions that describe it best... I don't agree with some of the directions because i don't think they are necessary, but if done right it should work. Have fun, cant wait to hear responses.
To do Party Levitation you will need five people, one to be levitated—henceforth to be called the levitatee— and four to do the levitating — henceforth to be called the levitators.
The levitates sits in a chair and the four levitators stand around him so that they form a square. One levitator should stand to the levitatee’s left, and just behind his shoulder. Another levitator should stand in front of him and to his left, close to his left-knee. The other two should stand on the right side of the levitatee’s body and in similar positions.
Now the object of Party Levitation is to make the levitatee’s body so light in weight that the four levitators can lift him several feet into the air using a single finger each. If the experiment is performed properly none of the levitators will feel the slightest resistance to their efforts. It will be as if the levitatee’s body has lost its weight entirely.
While the levitates is sitting, the four levitators surround him in the manner indicated and place their hands, one atop the other, on his head, as if they were healing him by the laying on of hands.
The person who is going to float must sit relaxed in a straightbacked chair with his legs together, his feet on the floor, and his hands in his lap. The other four participants now stand two on each side of the seated party, one at each shoulder and one at the knee. Instruct all four to extend their arms and place their closed fists together, closed except for the forefingers which should be extended and touching each other along their lengths as shown. The person nearest the seated man’s left shoulder is now asked to place his two extended fingers, palms downwards, beneath his left armpit. Likewise, his opposite number inserts his forefingers beneath the right armpit, and again the other two respectively beneath the seated man’s knees.
Now invite the four assistants to lift the man in this position, using only these extended fingers. However hard they try, it is impossible. As soon as you have registered their inability to do so, ask them to stack their hands alternately, one on top of the other on the man’s head, in such a way that no person has his own two hands together, and then to exert a steady pressure downwards. As they keep this up you count to ten. On the count "nine", they must withdraw their hands quickly from his head and resume their earlier positions with their extended forefingers. On the count of "ten" they must try again to lift the man with those fingers alone. This time he will go soaring into the air with no difficulty whatsoever.

How can it possibly be a hoax if the person gets lifted up?
It may not be a hoax, but it could easily be done by having one of the people lifting the people not lifing hard on the initial try, showing how difficult it is, then lifing hard when the person is lifted the second time.
May not be how it is done, but I think you could fool people like that.
If you had people who were in on the trick and wanted to others that the second attempt was a lot easier then the first, I could go along with that. The problem is that I don’t have any inside people, but someone could do that if they wanted to. There is another problem with the idea having an inside man, weight distribution.
The person might be lifted up off the chair but you would still feel their weight weighing down. When the trick is done correctly the weight seems to disappear the second attempt.
well, when you see something like that, and it doesn't make any sense...
...a wizard did it?
The Simpsons blows the lid off your secrets!
It agree, this brilliant idea is necessary just by the way
It agree, this remarkable opinion
I have been doing this since the mid 1980's and it allways works. My record is to have lifted a person of about 160 lbs.
