Umm ok . I'm such a geek. I still have no idea why I spent $61 plus $10 shipping for this thing. I got it from UPS about 2 hours ago. I excitedly opened the box, read the instructions and put the globe onto the base. it took several tries before I found the 'sweet spot'. Viola! My globe was floating. I stared at it for about 2 minutes, crinkled my nose then I was bored. Here's the problem. I thought I could move the globe, maybe make it spin. You can barely touch the globe before it falls out of the center and gets sucked into one of the outer magnets. I was hoping it wouldn't be this touchy. So basically all it does IS levitate the globe. Look at the photo. That what it does. Nothing. I'm staring at it right now on top of my desk. big woop. So..........it is possible to use magnets to suspend a small globe. I you GOTTA witness it for yourself then spend the $71. Maybe I can get my deskfan to blow on it to make it to make it spin or something. Beats me. If I do I'll update you.
3 stars. I would have paid maybe $30 for this thing.

Levitron AG Anti-Gravity Globe Reviews
Excellent for techies/engineers . Once I knew something like this existed, I had to have it. Bought it before the price drop and still felt it was an excellent buy. You can spin it, but it slows quickly and wobbles a bit when you do. Looks great on my desk, and starts many conversations. It's just like it looks, no tricks... it floats about 3/4 to 1 inch above the base. It uses a combination of powerful magnets and electronic coils (uses an A/C adapeter that plugs into the back of the base, not shown in most pictures) to keep the globe levitating. Note: Needs a wood or non-metal desk top to work best. Overall, I love it as a novelty in my office.

Levitron AG Anti-Gravity Globe Opinions
Disapponting AG Globe . The globe is very difficult to set-up in a stable floating mode. Once the globe is floating it is annoyingly susceptable to disturbance which results in the globe slamming into its base. You can't "play" with it in any real sense and it doesn't permit stable rotation to any angle.
I am very disappointed with this purchase.

Look for the ION model instead . This product is fine, except, the globe just sits there. The new model, called the "Levitron ION Anti Gravity Globe", costs the same and auto-rotates. It's far more entertaining.
True Levitation . Being a science geek, this looked like a very interesting knick-knack. I purchased this as a gift for my father, who has given me a 'Mova' globe as a gift in the past. There have been 'levitating globes' available for a few years, but they have been based on simple 'attractive' levitation, where a magnet+electromagnet *above* the globe balances against gravity. The Levitron AG Globe is entirely different ... it levitates a globe from *below*, without any overhanging arm. I understand how they do it, and compared to any other levitating globe I've heard of, this product is far more impressive.
Pros: Works as advertised ... it suspends a globe about 1/4 of an inch above the base. A product that performs *real* levitation at all is impressive.
Cons: Pricey. It would be better to have a smaller glove levitate much higher ... the 'clearance' is fairly small ... not enough to even put a finger through the 'levitation' gap.

Close Eye Small Globe . It turned out to be fairly easy to place the ball over the stand so that it was suspended in air. Close one eye, and position the ball about 12" above the stand, as manual states. Center the ball on the circular area below and lower it down. A couple of tries and I had it. Keep a light enough grip on it so that it doesn't "fly" away and stick to the silver area below. It seems pretty rugged.
I was surprised at the size of the ball. I had seen a larger one in a store. I'm not sure the price was that different. Could be mistaken about the size.
It rotates like the earth.
The distance below the ball is a bit deceptive, since the stand is mirror like. If you don't get your eye level to the bottom, it looks like it floats inches off the stand. In reality it is probably 1/2 to 3/4". Probably 3/4".

AWE INSPIRING! . This item is THE highlight in my office!
People literally drop their jaws when they see it levitating!
And when I gentky push it, it begins to rotate!
A gentle blowing on it during rotation and the globe continues revolving!
Great conversation starter for sure!

Just as described . I really like this Globe.
Some reviewers might not have read the description, and expected this to be some kind of toy to play with. It is not. Its more of a display. Something cool to look at. It does not spin, it just floats.
Its very cool, and looks great in person.
Its a good value for the money.

Cons Review
Not what I expected . This item was not what I expected. I gave it to my boyfriend as a Christmas gift but never had a chance to open and inspect it before giving it. (I know this is my fault). The globe is plastic and cheaply made. It definitely was not worth the cost that I paid for the item. My boyfriend asked me how much I paid for it and I refuse to tell, but he noted that he hope it wasn't a lot.
Huge Disappointment . I purchased two of these Levitron Ion globes for Christmas.
One was for my daughter as a Christmas present and the other was for my office.
One never worked out of the box, the other worked twice and then never worked again.
I can understand a fault in one globe, however...two?
Garbage, if you ask me.
