2 things.....I want to see your levitation trick and how do I view your u-tube video that has had 16000 hits?

Maybe next time you're in AZ I'll show you how to levitate!
What? No surprises?
For some reason I had the same locker in 7th and 8th grade, and I was born in '77; so it was quite a bit easier than normal to rememberize.
