Lol at the diamagnetism explanation. I'm finishing my undergraduate in physics and I can assure that this is not the explanation (Not to say that I'm an expert of course, just that it doesn't make any sense). Even if the spin of the electrons of the body could be shifted by human hands (Which I don't know how in the world it could be possible, maybe internal magnetic field, but still, the human natural magnetic field is sooo small, a really strong magnet would work a lot better ^^), the effect would not be close to be enough to make a complete body levitate. Legend11 seems to have a really valid explanation, a rigid body is much more easy to support than a relaxed one which gravity center is always changing position randomly. Also, muscle memory could be the point, as mentioned above. Now that the brain knows what is the weight to lift, it is much easier to use the right strenght to lift the person. Hell, we all do this, lift an objet a first time, see that it is heavy, than put it back and lift it again to have a better grip. Not the same thing, but still, not so different.

As for the satanic explanation.................................electricity was also a satanic phenomenon 200 years ago ;) People like to use their religious beliefs to expain what they cannot understand, it has always been, and always will be. I don't like when some people try to frighten others with thingd like these.
