I hate to suggest this possibility, but perhaps magic (i.e.,
"cheating") was involved. Others on this list apparently would
be unwilling to consider that possibility without positive
evidence of cheating.

I would suggest "don't," but if you are serious, I would
recommend some advice that I gave last time this came up (was it
here?). Fill your head with flighty, nonsensical,
lighter-than-air ideas and you might be able to manage
levitation. Another possibility I hadn't thought of would be to
fill your audience (i.e., students?) with nonsensical ideas, so
that they are easier to manipulate (e.g., you weren't watching
closely enough, too many skeptics make it difficult for me to
levitate, only very enlightened people are permitted to "see" the
act of levitation, ...). Let us know how things worked out.
Best wishes
