Preface: I don't trust FAQ's as a rule because what most of them should be titled is QFWA's. That stands for "Questions we Frequently Wish Were Asked". I have saved almost every e-mail I've received over the l years and have compiled this list from the most common questions. Oh yeah... I also answer them.

Frequently Asked Questions
From readers of "Levitation, or How to Float"

Are you for real or is the book fiction?
I am for real, the book is fiction. I am 42, married, one kid. The book was written as an exploration into how a kid thinks... hubris, wonder, and will.

Can you learn to float if you start after age 6?
Please see question 1.

What do you know/think about stories of mystic type dudes in far-away lands who practice levitation?
I have never really looked into those things.

Do you know/know of David Blaine and what do you think of his levitation?
I think he's great. I have always loved stage magic and illusion and he is the pro at taking it to the streets. I could tell you how he does it, but then I'd have to...

Assorted questions about specific techniques, states of mind, etc.
Please see question 1.

Can you recommend any books or websites?
I have found next to no real info on the net (reader mail inspired me to look). For a while there was a nice site that purported to be from a company that manufactured a "levitation device". Some guy has a really lame site with a video of someone "levitating" an object and an offer to sell the secret. My favorite find while searching the topic yielded a promo page for a band on the west coast called "Levitation". Books? Not in my local library in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Is any of this "of the devil".
The author is a seeking sinner. My only comfort comes from knowing that I belong not to myself, but to my God.

Peace.
