Inspired by, among others, Charles Sawicki's description of an inexpensive diamagnetic levitation apparatus,1 we built two such devices for classroom use and for educational outreach at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Boulder, Colo. With a slightly different setup, the same demonstration can be done horizontally on an overhead projector.
