My good friend Antony sent me this amazing clip about a man in China who creates what appear to be impossible balancing objects.
It looks like a clever trick, but it is just his feel for balance, and a huge amount of patience.
Not a very long clip, and interesting to watch.
Thanks for sharing, Pete! Great workmanship! With such steady hands he could also become a sniper. 😉 Best wishes, Michael

It’s all very Zen! I can just imagine him thinking, when he’s trying to balance his lad on the chair: “Keep still, you little blighter!” 😀 Cheers, Jon.

He does it after work and when his son gets home from school. Maybe he doesn’t have a TV? 🙂

As he says, he is only 20% successful. He has the patience to tolerate the 80% failure rate. 🙂

He only started recently, he says so in the film. After he saw his son do a small balancing trick.

As I recall from the video it claims only 20% of his projects resulted in balance. That is a low failure rate given what he is doing and I presume he gets more complicated as he progresses. Warmest regards, Theo
