Flyte Buda Ball Levitating Magnetic Sphere, Floating Magic Home Decor… (Walnut/Chrome)

Product Information

Turn away from the gathered crowd and prepare for the upcoming spectacle. When you face the audience again you are clasping a shiny steel ball between your hands.

During the performance, the magician makes it look like the ball tries to escape from underneath the cloth. He achieves this illusion by stretching his arms and raising both of his hands at the same time. Using EEG headsets, the team measured brainwave activity and mapped them to their levitation controller. During meditation our brainwaves slow down. In a relaxed state, the breath begins to lengthen and the brain waves begin to slow down. The ratio between Alpha and Beta signals and Theta and Delta signals change.Using a customized algorithm, brainwave signals are processed to detect the “meditative” state of our brain. These signals are programmed to drive a custom-built motorized levitation controller up and down, causing the ball to rise according to our meditative state. The higher the meditative state, the higher the levitation. They Used Science to Levitate Objects with Our Minds The minimalistic design combined with mind-boggling magnetic levitation technology, makes Buda Ball the ultimate conversation piece. Visually Mesmerizing, Strangely Satisfying

Buda Ball is a magnetically levitating sphere that hovers in mid-air. Designed to lower our stress levels, Buda Ball floats and rotates hypnotically in an invisible magnetic field, creating a soothing, time-stopping visual experience: a reminder to live in the present moment. Instead of using a cone and straw, you can use a hairdryer instead for the experiment! If you are doing it with a hairdryer, make sure you use the cold air setting. If you have to use the hot air setting, use caution because the air and the ball can get really hot. Another short illusion during the performance: The magician makes the ball disappear for a short moment, showing both sides of the cloth empty.

Designed to remain balanced in perfect equilibrium, Buda Ball finds its center resisting the forces of gravity. The Professional Floating Ball is designed to resemble a disco mirror ball. The idea is the ball must be heavy if it has to be held above a dance floor by chains and rods.
