So I'm trying to suspend a human in the air, starting at maybe a 120 lbs human to test (I could use a smaller magnet and the smaller they are the cheaper, money is not a thing I have a lot of) and I think I have found a good magnet to use, but I'm not good with reading this stuff so I ant be entirely sure. Is it where it says the Tolerances or the Gauss or the pull force? (The website at the bottom is the magnet that I was going to use, look at it if you can), and if I used 2 of them that were pushing against a larger one would it be enough? if not, what size would they have to be (gauss or tolerances or however you measure them) and what size would the magnet that they would be pushing on need to be?

The pull force is the amount of force (pull or push) you get when the two magnets are almost touching. When they are a few inches apart, there is very little force. If you put one of them on the floor and connected the other one to a flat plate to stand on, and lowered yourself from a rope until you were directly over the bottom one, you might be able to balance for a second. It wouldn't be very impressive, because the distance between the magnets would just be about 1/8 of an inch. Then when you moved to one side an inch or so, the magnets would spin around to the side where they attract, and you would be lying on the floor. Magnets can be fun, but when they are that strong, you are likely to lose some fingers. And they're still not very practical for levitation.

The question isn't what kind or how strong your magnet is,
the question is how Mormon the person your trying to make float is
it will all make sense someday

Wooow...!!
i couldnt resist telling u a story...vry old, but true story (u can refer 2 internet if u want to)
the ancient builders were very innovative in their ideas to honour the Gods. The Konark temple was built with one such purpose. Their idea was to suspend (in air without any support) the 'Idol' (made of iron), so that it appears Magical.....
because the dimensions of the temple was large.....they used huge permanent magnets to support the Idol. One at top, one at bottom, & 4 large ones sideways.
......& because the temple was close to sea, it disturbed the compass of the ships causing it to capsize in shallow waters. When the Portuguese came here, they named it as 'Black Pagoda'..... and they removed/took away the magnets, to protect their ships.
...............so thats the whole story !
i dont knw......but ur idea sounds great !! & i wud become a fan of urs, if it works..
GOOD LUCK !!
