Levitation, (sorry if this is the wrong forum) Options

I levitated a pen today for a little bit finally!

it was my 2nd try.

how long does it ussually take you people to learn this?

I have never had any luck at all with this sort of thing.

in my youth, i had a lot of run-ins with negative entities, and for a while, either I (unconsciously in my panicked state) or they, would shake my bed, sometimes violently.
also, during adolescence, i witnessed a jacket slide sideways across a table and onto the floor, towards me (again, in the situation it could have been either myself in a panicked state doing it unconsciously or a malevolent entity which was present, i don't know which).

bottom line, i do thoroughly believe it is possible to do something like this. But I do not have any clue how to make it work. there are some arenas of magick which I feel like I've really mastered, and then there are things like this, which make me feel like a complete n00b, hehe.

it would actually be of great interest to me to meet someone in person who can do this, and if they would let me 'feel them out' psychicly while they do it, I'd be very appreciative. I do not believe it to be a form of magick which is relevant to my path, but as a curiosity I would find it intriguing. it would also make a nice prop for discussing my spirituality with close friends.
