This one is a classic but needs to be mentioned. Keeping a Ping Pong ball "float" on a stream of air given by a hair dryer or blower.
The video bellow that I found on YouTube shows this effect and explains how it works.

Nothing more than a piece of paper surfing the air, but with a mesmerizing motion and fun and easy to try. Let's go!
It's a paper glider that rotates around its horizontal axis. If left from a height, it "tumbles" down slowly, however once you use a piece of cardboard and move forward after it, at the right speed, the tumbling wing will start surfing the air wave that you are creating and keeps its height. You can steer it to, with some practice.
