The picture shows what happens when you put a frog in a magnetic field so strong that it actually magnetized the frog by aligning the water molecules in its cells.
Aligning the water molecules aligns the weak magnetic field around each molecule so they build up to a aggregated magnetic field. This field reacts against the outside magnetic field and levitates the frog. The frog is literally hoisted by the water in each of its cells.
The frog is not harmed in any way when it is magnetized this way, and de-magnetizes, falls to the ground and returns to normal the instant the outside field is switched off.
It is theoretically possible to do this with humans, but ring magnetizes sufficiently powerful and sufficient large to accommodate a human in the middle is hard to come by.
