A lot of people on there are claiming they got it to work too!  But I would say its fine magicians cord on a pulley so when the can is moved in a certain direction the card moves with it, nothing more!  Is anyone going to try...

Agreed about the card going up and down, but when it went sideways I did raise an eyebrow.  Guess it could be done with a servo mounted on ceiling.

Did anyone here try yet?

Quoteafter tree days its finnaly workin
put the battery on the empty can at angle of 87.5
your should be a nokia atr frequency 800,001 MHZ
the battery on cd must be on the metallic side.
distance between battery on cd =3,5 inches
and very very important,all battery cellular includes must be full charged. and the experiment can begin.for me after tree days of patience the card levitate.. amazing

I'm 99.999% sure this works now. Actually, I'm positive it works but I just haven't been able to duplicate it, YET.

Okay, maybe I'm just fooled and I shouldn't be positive. What really started to sway me was the fact that I did feel some magentism and I did see the card jiggle. I know the magnetism I feel is real, but the coin is not magnetic so I'm not sure how it would levitate due to the magnetism. Maybe the jiggle was just shaking of the table that I didn't notice.

Here is a video of different guy, with different phone, clearer video doing it:

I built it. When moving the can towards the batteries I got the card to jiggle a bit and I can feel the magnetic resistance to my movements with the can and the batteries line up with eachother.

I think the cell phone I was using may be too weak and I probably could have arranged the batteries better to make it work right.

The person claims the cell phone needs to be fully charged and emit a frequency of 800,001 MHZ. This sems like an error. I thought cell phones max emission is about 1990 MHZ. But a common emission is 800MHZ, so maybe he means 800.001 MHZ. Thoughts?

GSM networks operate in four different frequency ranges. Most GSM networks operate in the 900 MHz or 1800 MHz bands. Some countries in the Americas (including the United States and Canada) use the 850 MHz and 1900 MHz bands because the 900 and 1800 MHz frequency bands were already allocated.
