If levitations are your thing, then there's a video called 'learn to levitate' by Maxwell.
It covers the Balducci and a lot more.
I've got the Zero Gravity levitation, which is a bit better than the Balducci in the fact that the soles of your shoes FULLY leave the ground by about 3 inches.
There's also another effect called King Rising (see ellusionist.com) which is supposed to knock them all out of the water.
If you really want the video, get it. But at the end of the day, if you know the effect, the best advice is to just keep practicing. Confide in someone to help you suss the right angles, and when the time is right, do the move.
Don't expect to be able to force it as an impromptu trick... this levitation lark is best thrown-in at the right moment, when you're able to set up the right angles, etc.
And don't forget... DON'T REPEAT IT!!! Just do it once! The second time, people will see!
