I'm not even sure a person could survive being in a magnetic field that strong. Motion of blood through the field would generate electric currents in the brain and heart (and elsewhere).
Back of the envelope tells me levitating a person would need a magnetic field 10x that of this frog droplet, or about 160 T. The magnetic pressure of a 160 T magnetic field 1.5 million psi, or about 100x the pressure at the bottom on the Marianna Trench, and also about 1/3rd the detonation pressure of military high explosives.

So you’re saying there’s a way.

That sounds like a much more convincing explanation than “we simply don’t have this material”.

They said that the levitated frog was fine afterward, but I've always wondered about the effects of long-term exposure.
Induced by the hemoglobin movement?
Just motion of salty water in a magnetic field.
