Product Description:
Yes. It's Levitating. Really. Of course it's using MAGIC to do so - the magic of magnetic repulsion and attraction that is. The Levitron is a magnetic anti-gravity top that is just as fun to setup as it is to watch in motion. Basically, you just use the included top weights to adjust to the perfect weight (which varies from location to location and surface to surface), then you adjust the legs on the base. Then spin the top, slowly lift the lifter (with top on it) until the top escapes the platform and release! Voila. A top levitating in mid air. And depending on how well you set it up, it will spin up to five full minutes! Wave your hand underneath (or anything non-metallic), and amaze your family and co-workers! And all this with no batteries - sheer magnetic wizardry! Of course it is not a piece of cake to setup. You have to observe it carefully as you are making the appropriate adjustments to the weight and to the base. It can be challenging but the reward is well worth it. Move the Levitron to another location though and you'll have to recalibrate the weights and levelers! Take the challenge and master it. It may take you five minutes, it may take longer.

This product is good. Thinkgeek has EXCELENT support. I bought it and realized that I needed to cancel it, so I contacted them via E-Mail. Usually companies don't pay attention to E-Mails, or they have an automated E-Mailer. Not this one. I got a confirmation saying it was canceled. However, Get "Geek Points" by buying it from www.thinkgeek.com !

This is an amazing device. It's quite incredible--once you get it to work. My elven-year-old son had a delightful time putting it together, but there is a serious learning curve when it comes to making the device actually work. While an adult has the patience required to learn the technique, my preteen became board after several tries and gave up. Still, it makes for an effective demonstration of several scientific concepts--once you figure out how to make it work . . .

As promised, there is significant patience required to get this going. But once accomplished, it's a fascinating demonstration of magnetic suspension.
Viewers might find it useful to look up videos on youtube that show how this works.

I received one of these for Christmas. My friend was the first to get it working, but now both of us can do it. It's truly amazing when it DOES work. (And, yes, it is testy!)
