    The beauty of this device is that he made the visible components out of such simple materials, wood and steel rails, which automatically disassociate it with tricky electronics. If it had a plastic box base you would immediately suspect that there was something inside it but our general experience is that wood is solid.

    Cool idea you had there! Have you considered making one using the lorentz force instead, like a little railgun? That would be so freaking cool. All you'd need to do for the rails is make them two separate pieces instead of a loop, and then of course, uh, build the gun part. But railguns for low power applications are actually stupid simple to make. The US Navy is using low(er) power railguns to launch aircraft from the latest generation of carriers, so maybe you could make a themed one?

Of course the appeal of his show was he'd been practicing those "parlour tricks" for years and could still leave an amateur wondering how he did it. Always liked that approach Who are you people?!

    It seems like due to the direct bounce into the hole, less friction affects the ball before sliding down the slope, so that more energy is preserved when the ball is subsequently sent flying through the sky. The ball clearly seems to overshoot at 1:54 due to that rare event of a direct bounce into the hole. Seems like an unpatched (rarely occuring) design flaw that could be due to the changed material in the transparent design. Sick.

    I don't think you can fully conclude that the second ball doesn't make it because the cappacitors aren't sufficiently re-charged.
