and your point is..???

Simple trick. Notice where he holds the spoke after giving it a few goes.. On the outer edge. Notice the placement of where the screwdriver would cross.. Inner edge. Outer edge of the spoke are tethered, inner edge not connected at all. Screwdriver is free to pass through until the spokes need replacement from being worn out.

Neat magic trick. Now, is it actually useful?
-
Video response has the answer. I bet he can't do this same trick with the gear flipped upside down (screwdriver on bottom).

I have called Sherlock Holmes and await his reply with eagerness!

could be using the shit camera to give the appearance of going all the way around?

Fake screwdriver (at least 2 parts)+ magnets

If you look at the exact center of the gear, it is below the "cowling" that covers the top portion of the gear, therefore the hole in the cowling is above the gear as it rotates and the screwdriver makes no contact what-so-ever. mmkay.

This is witchcraft!!! You should get ob the barbeque! :D
Nice gear, nice idea, nice crafting, crappy shooting.
Please improve video coding potions.

@colin: perhaps the spokes are only attached at the wheel
The spokes are not fixed, they probably made so that they can bend. When a spoke hit the screwdriver, it bends and lets the wheel rotate further... When past the screwdriver, it just bends back and supports the outer ring once again...

@MrKaddan This is paper, if it bends out of the way, it wont have a spring effect and come right back to the original position. Even then, how would it support the ring if it's free to move?

it is merley slotted into the top hemisphere of the paper and the spokes really serve no purpose.

@ColinRyleyMurphy if so, then how are the spokes staying in place, especially since they're used to transfer the force from the spokes to the 2 halves?
