There are three methods of levitation:

1. Wire-controlled levitation.

2. Fulcrum suspension.

3. Blind suspension.

The suspended man sleeps on the support board of the crane. The magician wraps a circle around the suspended man to make the audience believe that the suspended man is suspended in the air. In fact, this is a trick used by magicians, because the circle does not bypass the levitating man at all. This magic requires a high degree of coordination. The person driving the crane must control the lifting and lowering of the suspended man according to the music.

The earliest record of magic in history was in ancient Egypt, about 2600 BC, which was more than 4,000 years ago. The temples of ancient Greece also utilized the principles of magic.
