If this is not a hoax, I would be worried about the rotor blades. Someone is going to get killed on that thing.
Don't need a machine to levitate. The more you let go, the lighter you become.
One question I have, Has anyone actually seen this guy in action, first hand? I'm not suggesting he is faking it. But you could do this with a couple of small cranes lifting you to make it look like you were flying.
If he is for real, I would try it with pneumatics. For example, the pneumatic motors in power wrenches are small, and some of them turn at extremely high RPMs. I would have two engines pumping air to a pneumatic motor on each prop. Perhaps there is added weight doing it this way, and this added weight would make the thing not feasible. But it is an idea.

Levitation has been in existence for thousands of years, it stemmed out of the ancient Babylonian religion.
Perhaps levitation has been around thousands of years. But nobody seems to have any real eye-witness record of it. This being the case, levitation is something that is not common among even a minority of the people.
The motorized levitation of today is something many people could have and use... and easily store right in their garages.
Imagine. Hell's Angels dropping in on your town, right out of the sky, without any notice whatsoever!
I prefer this one. http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2016/4/confirmed-franky-zapata-sets-new-farthest-hoverboard-flight-record-in-france-427011
Both operations will need improvement. Even though this one is as unstable as it is, I like the idea as well.

This multirotor is slow and ugly compared to flying hover bike. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soxxPyaAT1k

Today, we think of flight as one of the safest and most heavily regulated forms of public transport you can possibly choose. But 113 years ago, when the Wright brothers were making their first few powered flights, it was quite the opposite.
It was mad science with a dash of backyard engineering and men with an incredible willingness to put their bodies and lives on the line. These guys were taking the ultimate bet: either our calculations are right, our designs are superior and our workmanship is solid, or else we fall from a great height and die like others have before us.
This cavalier spirit is still among us, and we're seeing a lot of cojones on display among a new generation of fearless engineers who see manned multirotors as the key to personal flight.
