SubscribeRecently spotted this video link on Cliff Pickover’s Reality Carnival (one of the few sites I regularly try to visit for some good brain food).
Not quite sure how this works…

Anyone know what movie that song’s from?
not sure what movie its from but the song is song by Queen and its called its a kinda magic
ok did a lil search and this is the movie i came up with…. Freddie Mercury: The Untold Story.
it works because the center of gravity for the figure moves to a spot probally under the toothpick so the cup,spoon,and fork are being pulled towards it and the toothpick is now the main balancing item, not the cup.
I have done this before so when I saw this I was just thinking “hey! this was the thing I tried!” there are no strings or anything. try it!.
Hi Charity- Freddie singing, but the movie is Highlander (the original).
Loved that band!
ahh ok had no idea cause I havent seen it but i helped ya a lil right lol
[...] from unknown [...]
Always appreciate Charity!
The ends of the spoon and fork counter balance the heads, so the balancing point is exactly in between them (ends and heads) where the toothpick touches the glass. Its just like one of those toys with the eagle that balances on its beak anywhere you put it, the wings counter balance the tail. Burning the toothpick does nothing in terms of balancing. hope this helps
