A common object to levitate is a globe, and the world stages comes supplied with a globe. But with other levitation gadgets, all you get is the globe. This particular model lets you open up the globe to take out the special magnet. The magnetic platform that floats above the main platform can take an additional 3 oz in weight allowing you to place any household object that fits in the weight criteria. The main platform is surrounded in lights and also makes the floating platform rotate allowing you to showcase whatever you want in a bit of style.
