Superb mind bender
Literally millions, including myself, have seen this thing operate on YouTube. I wouldn't be surprised if it has broken all records for inspiring really bad, plastic, noisy knock-offs. Amazon still has several available that are cheap, don't work at all, or rely on a loud, whiny electric motor, and sport 1 star ratings from frustrated buyers.<br /><br />This is the genuine article, created of beautifully finished hard woods. It is silent, mystifying and simply a treat to behold.<br /><br />I personally own two of these creations of artisan William Le. They are hand made, and perfect. Yeah, the little ball will occasionally bounce off the landing pad. What's amazing is how it works at all, apparently defying physical laws, while its syncopating sounds provide a nice, stress relieving ambience.<br /><br />I'll have it running on a book shelf when expected visitors arrive. I make no mention of it, letting my guests slowly become aware of what they're seeing.<br /><br />William Le creates other kinetic art pieces as well. Its easy to be a fan.
