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.
