A kite assembly and method of flying a kite from a wind source such as a fan, generally indoors, incorporating multiple tethers to provide generally stable, controlled and sustainable flight. The kite assembly provides for multiple tethers set to appropriate lengths and tethered to appropriate places on the kite and the wind source. Multiple tethers help balance the kite and prevent the kite from flying out of the lifting zone of the airflow created by the wind source, when the wind source is stationary, rotated, oscillating or being moved around a room. The tethers generally diverge from the kite and as a result the kite flying characteristics or direction of flight can be controlled in ways not possible with traditionally tethered kites, which typically have single or converging tethers. Multiple kites may be flown from one fan, or connected to one another to form unique flying combinations.
