It’s Saturday so I would like to share some interesting videos I found in the social networking site.. alright, Facebook! This is an awesome video of illusion created by Koukichi Sugihara. Why he did that, for the best illusion contest of course. Nah, not magic BUT the illusion won the BEST Illusion of 2010. Worth to find out what it is;
Explanation collected from YouTube. Because it was too scientific for me to explain. Argh..
In this video, wooden balls roll up the slopes just as if they are pulled by a magnet. The behavior of the balls seems impossible, because it is against the gravity. The video is NOT a computer graphic, but a real scene. What is actually happening is that the orientations of the slopes are perceived oppositely, and hence the descending motion is misinterpreted as ascending motion. This illusion is remarkable in that it is generated by a three-dimensional solid object and physical motion, instead of a two-dimensional picture.
For those who are bored on weekend like I am now, you can try doing the following trick. Why you do that, because it’s simply fun! By the way, do it at your own risk. Someone might just stop you from doing it. Probably your mother-in-law or the owner of the egg (with revenge).
In case you didn’t know, the egg’s shell was peeled off. It won’t work with a hard boiled egg with SHELL (not petrol station) still wrapped around . I haven’t try it yet but it’s possible. Simply too busy with my magic stuff that ongoing now.
Quite a number of magic props been made out of trash recently. Will put them on the test to make sure it works great. Guess what, I’ll test them on the field, with random strangers.. =D So much fun! Well, enjoy your weekend! Forget about your manic Monday.

Wow…this post is very informational, AL! Hehe…now, I can try the egg in the bottle trick to impress my students in class perhaps? Haha… ^^
So, you’re organizing a contest? Whee~! I’ll sure to join it! Hopefully, I can win it~ Haha! Pick me ya! XD
Btw, you said Google Adsense is better than Nuffnang? Serious? =D I wanna add some advertorial features on my blog but I don’t know how… =( Can you teach me how?
Lastly, what did I told you before? AL, you have to get a lot of rest and cut down on the caffeine, you know?! I heard excessive caffeine is bad for the bones…don’t know how true is that but it’s better to be safe than sorry, right? =)
Do take good care of yourself and get a lot of rest, okay? Because health is more important than wealth and without health there’s no wealth. XP

@Erica, HAha! Thanks. I thought it would be a great idea for me to impress the kids at the shelter homes too.
But playing with fire is dangerous for kids. Haha! Yup, a contest will be ready by this week or next week.
Hopefully this week so everyone can join =D
Yup! Google pays in USD and Nuffnang pays in RM. You earn more and faster with Google =)
Sure! It’s my pleasure to be some help. But how do I teach you anyway? Haha.
I already cut down on my caffeine intake. Only lime juice now. =( I lack of sleep because of back pain.
And back pain was caused by long hours sitting on the chair. LoL! I don’t think caffeine got any impact on bones..
Sure! Will take good care of myself. Thanks! Haha! Not going to let the problems to end whatever I’m doing =D

Haha…that’s a good one! Keep being positive and you’ll attract the good things to you~ *The Secret – Law of Attraction~
Well, they’re not problems anyway, they’re merely a stepping stone for you to improve yourself~right? ^^
Wow…then I’ll add/put Google AdSense to my blog instead~ Thanks for the tips, I really appreciate it! XD
Btw, don’t take lime juice on an empty stomach, okay? Do you eat at regular hours? I’ve a hunch that you might have gastric too? =P Anyway, gambateh AL! Will watch your new video tomorrow~ ^^
P/S: Playing with fire is definately a no no among children~ Try something cute instead like bunny rabbits or hamsters or colourful balls, toy cars or balloons~ They’ll love it~ ;D
Erica´s last blog ..~Happy Teacher’s Day @ D-I-Y : Champagne Skincare~
Thanks! Sure. I believe in Law Of Attraction too. Someday, something at somewhere will definitely work out. =) right!
Yes, you should just apply Google Adsense onto your blog. The best ‘thing’ to earn extra for yourself!
Understood. Nowadays, I have lime juice while having breakfast. Not very sour type as I added sugar syrup in it too.
Nope, I don’t eat on regular hour and repeatedly, skipped meals. I seldom get gastric. Weird..
Will upload soon, once I’m done with editing. Haha! I’ll try to figure out something. Next week’s Vesak Day, blood donation, Yay! Haha!
Hopefully there’ll be anyone who wants to make a trip to the shelter homes =)

Haha..okay, I will patiently wait for your new video~ =)
Well, I think if you were to organise a trip to a shelter home and announced it here in your blog, I’m sure there’ll be people who would love to go with you and do some charity work~ XD
Hmm…you don’t eat on regular hours and repeatedly skipped meals but you seldom get gastric. That’s really weird.. >.< Haha! =)
@Suhaisweet, Thanks! Visited your site, it’s awesome too! =D
I am free most of my time.. Haha!!
@Erica, Haha! The video will be ready soon, don’t watch it at workplace. LoL!
I’m looking forward to that. But with only myself to organize it, I need a bit more time. =)
Would love to do so anyway. =P
HAha! I think I’m simply used to it, so gastric doesn’t affect me much.. =D
i really like that egg experiment. maybe can be use in school to help student understand science. i going to post on my facebook. thank for sharing.
@Abnormaltech, Hey! Haha! I’m glad that it can be much of a help students to understand science at school.
I wished my teacher was that good to me during my science class. Haha!
Welcome!!!! =D
