[3ATSH1TBITCH]

My name is awesome

[racerjc21]

[SlayerTheDemon]

How is the ball held?

[Welches123]

Did the man at the end say "not for sale gentlemen"?

[kdawg3485]

[YungEbonyqx810]

[RunesGuild]

@AZfighterz lol me too.

[AZFighterz]

[OshiiBenoHani]

[MrKnexguy123]

rune450rune I SAW IT

[rune450rune]

DID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE THE GUY ( IN THE BACKGROUND ) FLIPPING THE CAMERA OFF AT 0:07

[prakash71us]

the spinning wire makes it look like its falling

[SpeedyAce100]

I really want to see a kid to up there and try to get the ball out of it.

[XtraNorm4L42]

BALLS

[AveryDeedeexm700]

ehm Made of secrets

[PeekAvenue]

I just got flicked off.

[blockstream1]

thumbs up if u saw the old man in the end

[JollyGreenGordon]

No One Gives the middle finger to anyone in this video. He simply points at the Optical illusion thing with his index finger.

[Landoh92]

i've got one of those in green :D

[kylejeremy51]

thumbs up if u thougt the hguy at 0:07 fliped him off xD

[Nomoreidsleft]

@kylejeremy51 No, he was using his index finger. I think he was just signalling that he wanted to stick his finger in something.

[TheNotoriousKRP]

Thumbs up if you're an attractive woman and want to suck my dick!

[GladRags]

If u concentrate on the background but watch the ball with 1 eye, you can see that only the spiral si moving

[patrick5087]

its glued to the "spring" you just don't notice the ball turning with it because it is clean

[Gizmo1969]

@patrick5087 no glue, the ball sits in the centre of the coil

[LordSagarath]

3212333222333212333322321 Mary Had a Little Lamb :)

[TheDestroyerofsatan]

Aren't you on hatena as ur username being gizmo?

[chancehaman9]

Why Did The Dude Flick Off The Camera

[uraijit]

@chancehaman9

He didn't, pause it, he's pointing at the display...

[chancehaman9]

@uraijit Ohhhh Got It.... It was A Very Weird Point

[Nutzelpivot]

thumbs up if you thought the guy put up his middle fingur at the end

[JEPRODUCTIONS97]

The trick is that the springs are a spiral object so when they are turning with the ball it gives the illusion that it's staying in place

[mawhulk]

i dont fucking get it!!

[MrDingbat15]

FKKK!!  IVE BEEN SCREWED!!

[scrivs01]

are the wires electrically powered?

[ArkticFyer]

who else noticed the guy flipping off the camera?

[scrivs01]

@ArkticFyer that's his pointer finger

[R4T3DcLaN]

Press 8

[OgreWorld]

Who gives a flying fuck about whether your internet froze or not? I want to see original and funny top comments ffs, christ

[kayotecute]

balls are hanging by a fishing string while spirals are rotating, which gives the illusion of a falling ball

[Gizmo1969]

@kayotecute actually the ball is on sitting on the inside of the spiral, its the turning wire which makes li look like it falling

[kannabiz420]

@Gizmo1969 actually the ball is falling and the wire spiral creates a space-time vortex which counter-acts the forces of gravity and keeps it in place.

[MisterAleksandr]

@Gizmo1969 Indeed, because the ball is clear and has no flaws, you cannot tell that the ball is also turning with the coil of metal

[supersayindtae]

@Gizmo1969 when will both of you guy stop talking a bout balls :P

[maximusndb1]

@kayotecute LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!

[FisherDudeGuy]

@kayotecute dumb ass 

[MsSoulsurfer1]

i dont get it....is it not dropping or what?

[88472456]

@MsSoulsurfer1 well, idk myself but my guess is that it is stuck on the spiral (and not dropping) but since the spiral turns, it looks like it's slowly falling. but if you look carefully, the location of the ball stays the same compared to the background

[Slyke57]

I thought the guy at 0:07 flipped off the camera

[clay36022]

Thumbs up if this is better then masterbating xP !!!

[thebashers]

[badbeat94]

it dosent have niune seconds

[laiholapso]

did i just shit my pant

fuck it stinks dough

[madlyomg]

im not sure but someone tell me if this is right, the balls are magnitised by the revolving spring like metal piece witch is held in place by a almost invisable string so the springs look like its floating in mid air.

[portablegamer]

@madlyomg No. The ball is is glass. It's not magnetized. The glass ball is attached to the metal. It only LOOKS like the metal is going up around the ball. That's the illusion. The whole thing is just spinning around... Sorta like a barber pole. It has the illusion of up/down movement, but it's all just spinning in circles.

You are right that the metal is held at the top by a string.

[bananatotherescue]

Did That Man Just Give The Finger? XD

[MusicVideos0120]

@bananatotherescue no it was his pointer finger if you look closely and pause it!!

[majornanook]
