Abstract:
A system and method for controlling an action toy without electronics or motors. A spinning sphere includes a set of magnets supported by a cross beam. A magnet assembly, such as a ring or wand, may be held by an operator and used to control the spinning embodiments. Special play surfaces may be provided to enhance an experience and challenges of steering a spinning sphere.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of operating an amusement system, comprising:\n a) spinning a first body on a play surface producing a spinning first body, said first body having a rotational symmetry including a first axis extending between a first reference point and a second reference point and further including a first reference plane extending perpendicularly from said axis between said reference points, said first reference plane defining a first reference perimeter; and a plurality of magnetic components distributed about said first reference perimeter, wherein said first reference point is proximate said play surface and wherein said second reference point extends above said play surface; and b) positioning a first controller, independent from said first body, over said second reference point while said first body is spinning, said first controller including a magnet structure complementary to said plurality of magnetic components; and c) inducing a movement of said spinning first body over said play surface by translating said first controller over said play surface proximate said second reference point.
