I don't think that this actually cancels out gravitational effects, since different materials have different magnetic susceptibility, every molecule will react with a different amount of force, this may cause cellular damage on the long range, besides, I doubt if such levitation fools the up and down directions.
@narutokage777 No, according to the New scientist magazine, the one who published the story, said it went back to its friend and lived happily :) true story.
No, it didn't hurt the frog. If an object is levitating, that means that the sum of all forces acting on it (including gravity) is ZERO. If anything, the frog was relieved of having to lift its own weight.
The strongest permanent magnets have a field strength of 0.1 teslas. According to Wikipedia's article on bitter electromagnets, this particular magnet has a strength of 16T. The strongest electromagnet in a lab is around 45T.
You know why not? Because if we were weightless, it would be too easy to make about 160 rpm in mid-air, which wouldn't be cool cuz that would split your brains apart. ;)
@Naarden4ever RPM, not RPS. RPM stands for Revolutions per minute. 160/60= 2.6(7) Revolutions per second, something you could do with your finger. That in turn is quite slow.
As the magnetic field is pulling on all of the frog`s water molecules at once and everything inside that frog contains water, there is no tension in its tissue, so it probably feels weightless indeed. i think this kinda feels like falling...

In short, this is one strong magnet.

@Naarden4ever 160 rpm,
That's less than 3 revolutions per second, nowhere near fast enough to do that.
Also you wouldn't just start spinning, you would need to push against the sides of the container and that would be pretty hard

@iwan0t0smith lol 160rpm stands for Revolutions Per Second. and 160RPM is spinning hard enough to do that. even 60 could be fatal...

Depends on what part is magnetic probably. That's awesome. I feel bad for the froggy though.

I always wondered how this feels to the frog - if it's like being weightless or more like being suspended by you insides. Gotta be weird either way!
