A system and method for magnetic levitation with a tilted orientation. In one embodiment, a magnetic levitation base together with a magnetic levitation affecting element that is located to the side of the levitation base support the magnetic levitation of a spinning magnetic top in a tilted orientation. The tilt angle of the levitating magnetic top may be greater than the tilt angle of the levitation base. In one embodiment, the levitation affecting element may comprise one or more magnets similar to that of the levitation base. The mass of the top and the tilt of the levitation base that are required for magnetic levitation may be adjusted by adjusting the levitation affecting element (e.g. altering its position and/or the strength of its magnetic field.) The general direction of the tilt may be reversed by changing the magnetic north-south direction (e.g. turning over or reversing the electromagnetic current) of the levitation affecting element.
