Well, suppose you saw an iron bar floating on water, and there were no electromagnets, balloons, dolphins, or other paraphenalia visible. There are two attitudes to take: one is some form of "It must be magic!". The other is "There must be a physical cause that I can't seee right now. I will not rest till I find it!". Notice how all of us who responded to your challenge thought of physical ways to satisfy the appearances.

Here's another one. The bar happens to be just over an underwater geyser (there are such things). The upward force of the water from the geyser is sufficient to support the bar.
