Levitron Anti-Gravity Top: It’s Magic!

Okay, it’s not technically magic — more like a clever use of magnetic repulsion — but this anti-gravity top from Levitron is still a wonder to behold. After some adjusting to the included top weights (a somewhat tricky feat that Mom or Dad will probably need to help with), you spin the top and release it to go up, up and away.

Particularly deft spinners can get up to five minutes’ worth of anti-gravity action from a single spin — just be sure to keep the base away from those old VHS tapes of the kids. We’d hate to see you release your memories into thin air, too.
