Abstract:
1. A method of amusement, comprising the steps of: providing a hand-held device with a base having a length that is measured between opposite ends, and a thickness that is measured between opposite top and bottom surfaces, and with a hole extending through one of the ends, and with a spherical ball rotatably mounted inside the base in a manner that projects outward beyond at least one of the top and bottom surfaces; placing the device on an underlying support surface in such a manner that the ball contacts the support surface; using one's digits to apply counterbalancing downward forces to upwardly facing portions of the base on opposite sides of the ball to maintain the entire base above the support surface while the ball engages the support surface; and alternatively inserting one's finger into the hole, and rotating the device about the finger.
