how about having the show already thrown and held in the air by faith. like the statue of arthur dent and the floating teacup in the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. i think it was in one of the audio adaptions and not the main 5 books.

Well, even though some of us are working on our Jedi powers and the force is strong with us, I don't think one person can sustain the shoe levitation 24/7 by himself. Let's have a rotating list of dedicated disciples taking turns, each concentrating for 1 - 2 hours at a time. We'll always have at least two guys suspending the shoe at any moment, so that we have a backup in case the first guy somehow gets distracted, or whatever. Being chosen for shoe levitation duty will be considered a huge honor, and only the most loyal and dedicated followers will be allowed to do it. It's a huge responsibility! If the guys (oh, what a terrible thought!) ever let the shoe drop, it could precipitate a crisis of the faith!

you have a point. in the HGttG it was the faith of an ENTIRE population that sustained the teacup in the air. at least until the great and powerful Arthur Dent himself showed up. He precipitated the crisis of faith himself thinking the whole idea of a huge statue of himself throwing down a teacup was quite absurd.
