    That's pretty interesting.

    Anyone got a giant cone so I can start practicing?

    I don't get it, are the balls on strings or something?

    He is inside a big plastic cone. The balls travel around the walls of it.

    Angular momentum. The balls don't fall for the same reason a basketball doesn't fall of your finger, or a motorcyclist doing the wall of death doesn't fall down. You ever seen those rides where you get spun round really fast and you stick to the sides? Same thing.

    Tohlz, you're obsessed with this video! laugh.gif

    Ooh, is the cone TRANSPARENT? I thought those balls were just flying around him, lol.

    wow I guess it's because it looks so effortless that you don't believe the angular momentum is enough to keep it up.

    I saw something like this with a sphere where the guy rolled basketballs between his legs and over his head. Twas pretty cool I must say. I don't think its a practical thing though because where are you going to get a giant transparent cone.
