A large black superconducting disk was cooled with liquid nitrogen. When the disk goes into the superconducting state it expels magnetic field. This is called perfect diamagnetism. If you place a magnet above the disk when it is superconducting then it will levitate. This is known as the Meissner effect.

Here's another response to a "request" for an Rush song. Not perfect, but DAMN that last 1:30 is a MF brotha. Again, I just did what sounded right. It's not perfect, but a decent rendition of Neil's craziness.

Here you can see a magnet flying over a hightemperature superconductor. It's a YBa2Cu3O HTSC which temperature is about 90 Kelvin.
