My neighbor's daughter just turned 16 & I used to babysit her and all, so I went over to give her a birthday present. She was telling me that she did this levitation thing with her friends called 'light as a feather, stiff as a board". According to her, you get a bunch of people to put their fingers under someone and say "light as a feather, stiff as a board" 13 times and they are supposed to float and levitate. She was all freaked out because she had done this at a slumber party and swore that it worked. I think these kids had to be playing a joke on her. She said that one girl held another up with one finger a couple feet off the ground.

Has anyone ever heard of this? I think they are teasing her and making her think it was real. Just curious. I had never heard of this before.

What Fr. Chuck says makes sense. What I saw could have been a form of hypnosis. I don't know how our parish priest set this up - he only had his hands and his words as tools. When he was asked how he did this, he never did explain it to us. Said he did not want us running around and attempting what we were not capable of understanding.

I did see another example of this when I was in college but it was at a magic show so I never put much into that.

Ahh! Ive done that, It doesnt have to be 13 times, we did it 9 times and The girl said she just got up smoother than normal. She probably just was fooling around but it probably was a Joke.

Levitation is possible, but I don't think it was levitation. Looks more like an illusion or something. Don't worry it's just a trick.
