The Nickel Trick

[paul246]

Take a look at this little quicktime video of a nickel balancing on its edge while a Valkyrie engine is started and revved. I've demonstrated the same thing to friends on a few occasions. Always amazing.

I don't know whether it's PSed or not as the video is really small but I gotta say:

Nice sig nike.

I thought the nickle wasn't supposed to fall over?

I think you might be missing the point.

Hey I know the old video isn't very good, but maybe you should look into getting a new monitor lol.

Seriously, I apologize for the poor quality, I think the fella had his young daughter doing the camera work, then the file size was heavily reduced etc etc, so that is what you're left with.... but it isn't "photoshopped" as someone suggested. In fact, c'mon over and I'll demonstrate it for you personally.
