How do people levitate?

Multiple methods can be found easily on YouTube. Criss Angel released a video on YouTube at the "Criss Angel" link listed below. The Balducci method can also be found on YouTube which is commonly used as a street levitation technique. It's simple to do and easy to learn. Just takes a bit of balance and alot of practice. Anything larger than a simple street levitation is something no lay-person could really attempt as it takes equipment difficult to find and relatively expensive.
