Go up like magic (8)
I believe the answer is:
levitate
'go up' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for levitate that I've seen before include "Lift" , "Rise in the air, unsupported" , "Rise and hover in the air in defiance of gravity" , "Rise in defiance of gravity for vital tee" , "Rise into the air by magic?" .)
