I work in the magic business, and levitation is something I’ve dabbled in. There’s a thing called “invisible thread” that is, well, virtually invisible, save for hideous lighting. If you attach it to a timetable or a planet (For Dave and God Tier Jade, respectively) you can appear to make them float. Usually you’d attach the other end to a paper clip and clip it to your jacket’s armpit. That works fine for Dave.

For Jade’s planets, if you attach the thread to the rear of your earlobe with blu-tack or something, you can run the thread between your 1st and 2nd finger, dangle the planet on the end and you can then control the floating planet.

That probably didn’t make much sense, but I’m a magician, not a writer. And there you have it: exposing magic for the sake of Homestuck.
