Bride makes groom 'levitate' during first dance

This was the sort of first dance everyone at the wedding would remember for a lifetime.

Magician Justin Willman and his new wife Jillian Sipkins made sure they pulled out all the stops to please their guests at their California wedding.

This amazing video shows Justin getting 'levitated' by Jill in the middle of the intricate routine.

The couple spent hours practicing the trick and managed to pull it off in spectacular style.

Jill lowered Justin back and he appeared to 'levitate' on the rug in the middle of the dance floor.

The couple had already gone viral last week by creating their own parody of Comedy Central’s Drunk History on Justin's YouTube channel.

But they made the most of their internet fame with their memorial routine to Jay Hawkins' song 'I Put a Spell on You'.

The stunned guests applauded the couple's routine which included a few tricks for the bride as well.

When asked by People magazine how they did the trick Justin didn't give anything away but said: "Our big move at the end was accomplished with a mix of magic and a few thousand sit-ups,' he told the magazine.

"It was a lot more fun than we expected - the practice time actually gave us a few uninterrupted hours each day leading up to the wedding - and pulling it off for our guests made it worth all the prep.

"The fact that people are responding so positively to the videos is really a bonus at this point.

"The wedding day was perfect, and now we get to see that reflected back to us by a whole bunch of strangers.

"It's pretty surreal."

It's not just Justin and Jill who went to a lot of trouble to make their first dance as memorable as it could be, here are a few of our favourites.
