I think that for true hovering demos the trick is to cool the super conductor to below its critical point while it’s already inside the magnetic field. Then any way you move it will immediately induce a reacting current in the superconductor that will move it back into place. Exactly the same place since it’s a super conductor and has 0 resistance. I think in these demos though it is the fact that one side is heavier and dragging that’s leading it to stay in place
