Levitation in magnetic itself is not the proof. Frogs can do that too, ask Geim. The proof would be levitation in any orientation.

One even did that on the cover of Nature, iirc.

When do we start building things out of superconducting frogs?

Using a 'slightly' stronger magnetic field...

Only over an electromagnet, not a fixed one (to our knowledge). Digmagnetic levitation requires more than one magnet or an electromagnet.
