The geeky achievement is made possible thanks to electromagnets and lasers. Guadagnin that his project, which started back in 2008, works due to the board's integrated magic: It includes an impressive laser system which ensures the stabilization of the hoverboard in addition to an electromagnetic system which makes the levitation possible.
This shows his board hovering. Be sure to watch out for when Nils gives the board a push, the stabilization process is speedy and impressive.
Hopefully Nils' creation will inspire others and in the not to distant future we will all be hovering along like Marty McFly. How long it will be is anyone's guess, but people like Nils are keeping the geeky dream alive.
