David Blaine performed this illusion in his magic Special where he levitated from the ground a few inches up.
SECRET
Let me tell you one thing there is no person in this world who can Levitate,, if you see any one? its just an Illusion,, In Blaine's matter it is illusion of Camera Magic,, all he did was "Balducci Levitation",, in tv you saw his both feet coming up off the Ground
Let me tell you How
Balducci Lavitation is just a simple Illusion of Levitating,, This illusion is based on Perfect Angle because in it only on feet goes up and the other stays on the Ground.

Just make sure you dont rise high or stay high for long time, this will expose the secret</li><br></br><li>
David Blaine used various camera shots in his TV special with the audience reaction being filmed close up and linked to other clips of him in mid air with some of the angles showing the Balducci levitation .
</li><li><br>
The view that shows him rise a good few inches in the air and does not show the audience, would possibly have been done with a bar attached to a pivot like a seesaw.
</li><li></br><br>
The end of the pivot could have had a hook which clipped onto a harness attached to his belt and a member of the crew would have pushed down on the other side of the bar lifting David up in the air. The camera angle would have hidden the props.

This film would have been mixed in with the audience clips in the studios later.
