Magnets

A group of scientists in England using huge elctromagnets and enough power to supply a small town have magnetized and levitated such things as strawberries and spiders. They plan to someday levitate humans.

I think you've been watching too many episodes of the old Patrick McNee/Diana Rigg AVENGERS.

Actually it was on a show on the Discovery Channel about Mag-lev and gyroscopes and human levitation.
