When Gideon throws an object or enemy he's Lifted, he plays an animation that stops him from doing anything else briefly. If you perform a Lift throw in mid-air, Gideon ignores gravity and floats while he plays the animation. This gives you a brief window to perform a different action. In this case, you jump while targeting, Lifting, and throwing at the same time, stopping Gideon at the apex of the second jump with another Lift animation. This lets Gideon continually rise into the air, punctuated by the Lift throw animation.
Like the Skyward Shield trick [ youtube.com/watch?v=3Y0D-kmWg6I ], the Pullevator recovers quite a bit of psychic energy between jumps, meaning you can do the trick a number of times before falling.
Unfortunately, I don't believe this has any practical use in a speedrun, but it's a really cool oversight.
