@sweetpea, Great Informative Article. I also have tried to levitate the pencil at home via an experiment.....but with no success. But yours is an excellent step-by-step approach to help one succeed in levitating the pencil. I am sure gonna try this again.
Thanks for the great info. I just upvoted the post. You can follow me @drvnpatel. Being a person from science background, I also like to post interesting stuff like this.
