Learning to Focus
Meditate
Clear your mind
Turn on the hairdryer and become one with it
Levitating
- Place the hairdryer facing upwards 90* to the floor
- Turn the hairdryer on to its maximum setting
- Hold the ping pong ball about 5cm above the nozzle of hairdryer and then let go of the ball
- The ping pong ball should start to float and maybe even spin
- If you aim the hairdryer a degree or two to the side, the ping pong ball should start to spin and the faster it spins the better.
Wearable Version
- take the cork and cut a 5mm hole in the center
- Glue the bicycle tyre valve in the hole and make sure it is air tight and glue it in the pipe
- Attach the butterfly valve to the other end of the pipe
