In this experiment we make a Balancing Joker using a single straw. For making it we need a single Bendable straw, two nuts, two pins and a card Joker head. Cut the straw to separate the crimped part of the straw. Bent the straight straw in half and nip both corners to make a hole. Insert the crimped straw piece in the hole and bend both ends. Insert nuts in the crimped arms. Push pins to prevent the steel nuts from falling off. Now the Balancing Toy is ready. Make a small cut on the top end of the straight straw and insert a Joker face. Now balance the lower end on the tip of your Index finger. In another version of the Balancing Toy instead of using Nuts you can use two paper clips. The paper clips lower the center of gravity and this enables you to balance the toy.
