In order for this illusion to work, you must stand three to five feet in front of the spectator. your back must be turned and slightly tilted to the left as in the demo video. You will get maximum results by performing this for one or two people at a time due to the angles.

Now simply step up onto your right toes while keeping your left foot parallel to the ground. The spectator sees your left foot off the ground and the heel of your right foot off the ground. Their mind fills in the blanks and assumes that you are levitating. The rest is acting.

Many magicians pretend that levitating takes a lot of energy. That is so they have an excuse not to repeat the trick after it is done.
