We've been trying to get it to levitate for a week now and we have no luck. Does any of this (Fascinations Levitron Globe Ion) ever work?

Works perfectly! Actually, in the beggining it was easier to get it to levitate then when you know what you are doing...my 6 year old niece got it on the first try and then never again. Stand over the base holding the globe by your pals on the sides...look it up on YouTube. Good luck! :D

Yes it works. I got one for my husband for Father's Day and it took us like an hour to figure it out. Make sure it's plugged in and only use your index fingers and thumbs when trying to put it on and just try to keep it in the middle.

I couldn't get t work either, then a friend just came by and first try got it work. He won't tell me his secret or if it was just luck.

This is my second one, as I returned one i could not make levitate. No luck here either.

Hey Jasonwe had the same problem here... I even had both my sons try and even they couldn't make it levitatesend it back ..:)

It's really hard to make it work. It took me like three days, but I still returned it. Not satisfied with price/quality!

any luck with this? were you able to unlock the games? i thought it was broken and was going to return it. will have my daughter try it again tonight now that we have new batteries for the leapster.

I had same problem. I was using a 4000psi and it was like a flying saucer! Anyway it stopped spinning and I threw it on the bench and took apart bottom plastic bearing, cleaned it up a bit and tighten back up where it would spin freely by hand. it's kind of adjustable and it worked good again. Not that high of quality.

I am sorry it has taken me awhile to get back to you. I called my son and the Kid Galaxy My First RC is still going fine. Liya is five. I gave it to her 12/12/2013. She only uses it inside as well, but her cousins (boys 9-11yrs) are always running it. I am so sorry to hear yours has stopped working, but it has been a good toy for us.

Have you tried replacing the batteries? It's quite possible they're just dead. There are batteries in both the saucer and primary hull as I recall. I don't have it sitting right in front of me, so I'm going off memory. If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you.

I tried to levitate a book of mine but it didn't work out well, I guess I was mispronouncing the spell.... or maybe because the wand isn't mine (girlfriend's wand, not meant for me)....

I was only pushing it on the controller and it would not work.I tried E. Manns post - You need to push the ))) button on the X-box AND the controller simultaneously - the X-box light and the cotroller light both need to both be swirling at the same time for them to sync up.I was ready to take the thing back - but E. Manns post is spot on and does work.Thanks E Manns!

Based on how well it worked with the fan motor... I'd say no! This isn't a scientific response but rather what I observed with the fan motor. The controller simply isn't very precision and I think it has wide swings in voltage... in other words you couldn't fine tune it. I think it would very quickly smoke the motor in the vacuum. Again this is simply my observations on how it performed with my electric fan motor which was pretty small and didn't draw many amps.....

Have you put in the little circular rubber topped magnetic piece? It does not attach anywhere you just drop it inside the mineral cube with the blue/handle side facing up. The magnetic pull on this disc causes it to spin rapidly and creates a cyclone on the water that spins it. If you have already put the disc in then and it still doesn't cause the water to spin then you may have a defective machine.

I had on a alien bee light extended half way. But the tension on the pole would not hold. It kept falling down no matter what I did. Either mine was faulty or it just don't hold much weight.

I could never get mine to fly at all. One of the motors only spins up intermittently causing the craft to invert and crash. Just got it a few weeks ago but never got it to work.

I could never make it work properly, good luck. My grandson has it now and is still trying to make it work. They should never put it on the market. Junk!!

I did post a fix for this that has helped many until leap frog gets around to it. I am a parent that has one of these and was not seeing any progress with a fix from leap frog so I took matters into my own hands. I posted my fix here http://jdrwebnow.net/leapster2_fix.html.

It works just fine for me. I followed the instructions exactly and use the wand that comes with it. I don't have a trick really, I'm sorry. If you can get it to work, it worked really well. We only do 1-2 pieces of candy at a time as well

Have you gotten anywhere with this? We got one and while it works it constantly freezes up -started after maybe an hour of use. They are sending a new one.

There is an electromagnet on the top. You place the TARDIS so it is attracted by, but not actually touching the magnet. It takes a bit of practice to find the sweet spot, but once you do, it actually floats, as long as the magnet maintains power. It works better if you buy an A/C adapter. For some reason, it doesn't work as well on batteries.

It does actually float. There is a magnet at the top of the TARDIS and another at the top of the stand. These two magnets are attracted to each other. Without the batteries (or DC power supply) the TARDIS will stick to the top of the stand. However, when you provide electricity, there is an electric field which repels the two magnet just a little bit, creating a "perfect spot" where the TARDIS is in perfect balance between the attracting magnetic field and the repelling electric field. It is a very sensitive "perfect spot" and a little knock can take it out of floating.
