You have to see this.

Amazing, and silly at the same time. I don't know if I love it, or hate it. But I want to try it.

Aww... these guys... simply rock... It seems impossible to do, just as it seemed impossible to do penspinning... i'll have to try that out

wtf that was really cool :D great party trick hahahahaha

what is the fingerball made of? paper?

Cool. Looks like a wad of tape?

omfg hahaha wtf that's awsome wished i could do that

ZOMG

SO

AWESOME

how did he bend his finger so far back at the tip?? :o

Maybe I'm just crazy but in a few places the way the ball moved and sat on the fingers didn't look quite right. Looks almost like it was edited in to me.

that was ridiculous. It was so cool but like so sad i wish i could do that but if i could i would cut my hand off. I know what u mean Joshua still that was pretty cool.

Wow i saw this video yesterday and now here it is on this forum :) I liked the tiny shoes the person had on his fingers heheh The ball looked like a ball of paper.

Hahah , soo cool ! I want to try this :D

Awesome skills, especially trick with fan.

I think he actually made little shoes i don't think he bent them that far actually

learn how to do it.

dude is it me or does the ball look fake? im not trying to call it fake or anything , buti t does look fake <_<

he rolls it up and sytarts kicking it -_-

Yes, alot of it does look very fake. The ball seems to stay in the air a little too long. But still looks cool. Do they have ball mods?

Yes. This was taken from his site:


(All the balls he uses.)

My father always used to tell me to use the right tool for the job. (He also used to tell me that Leighton Orient were a great team - but we can overlook that for now.) So I’ve been trying out different types of ball to see what works best. Most of these were done with stuff from the office stationery cupboard.

The Post-It note
This is what I started with. If you don’t roll it round enough it can be a bit random.


The Post-It note with elastic band
The weight of this feels pretty good. The rubber outside also helps to grip the surface of the table. It’s particularly good for practicing ball control


Sticky tape
The tape they’ve got in the office isn’t actually very sticky. So this didn’t work for me at all. The ball wouldn’t hold together! Your office may not be as stingey as mine. It’s worth a bash if you’ve got decent tape.


Packing tape
Not too bad. But a bit skiddy for my liking. Ooh! I am a fussy one, aren’t I?


Masking tape
It takes a few attempts to make a round ball with this stuff. But it feels pretty good. It’s quite heavy and you can make it pretty smooth.


Rubber bands
Making this ball was very therapeutic. I can imagine it taking over from basket-weaving in care homes. But the ball felt a bit heavy and had too much bounce in it for my liking.


Marble
Ouch!


White tack
The blue stuff is just the wrong colour! This is the easiest ball to make. It’s a bit too heavy for keepie uppies but it’s great for dribbling. If you find it too sticky, just roll it on the carpet to pick up some fluff!


String
Alright for weight - but too slippy on my desk. It just didn’t have enough grip and it kept unravelling as well! It might be alright if I coated it with rubber glue. But there wasn’t any in the stationery cupboard!


Fluff
A nice little ball of fluff from the inside of a cushion or collected from a colleagues jumper can make a good trick ball. Wrap it lightly in thread and it’ll travel slower and pick up more air.



That was taken from his site. You can find it here, just like Zombo said earlier. And just like it was in the video given.

I'm actually going to make shoes today for this. I mean, hell, morning shift at work;no plans today;why not? ;)

ive came to the conclusion that this is in fact fake. hes really good at video editing tho

Don't act retarded. Read the rest of his site. Hes been doing this for awhile.

Email him and see if hes for real, instead of being Mr. I'll-believe-what-I-want-without-further-evidence.

Honestly, I tried this. And I got two good kicks with a post-it note. I didn't get to make boots, but I did them with my knuckles-- the ones that look like knee bounces, or whatever they're called.
Though, I'm not big on football (/soccer), so I'll leave it to the pros.

No.

i want you to watch the vid one more time. watch closely. very close. look at the ball specifically. thats a rendered ball.

notice when it goes into black and white. sense the ball isnt real and its animated, it has a different contrast/hue/saturation than objects in real life.


can it be real, yes. do i think it is, no.

thats all im sayin Mr. i-cant-take-a-joke-and-i-believe-everything-without-being-the-slightless-bit-skeptical.

DI, I'm not looking for a fight. ;)

I see your point-- but saying that would have made me react differently, because that opinion is valid, whereas not validating why you believe what you believe is.. well.. frankly, its rediculous. To me anyway. /shrug

If I came off as hostile, I apologize.

Oh, and me not being able to take a joke? Run-on sentences and silly one-word-insults-(like-this) are a joke. So why couldn't you take mine? Something to think about.

[BACK TO TOPIC]

This guy is cool for making a site about something that isn't popular, or as far as we know has never been done before.

[/BACK TO TOPIC]

Also, if you look closely at the rest of his site, you can see more videos, ones where you actually can hear the "ball" (post-it) bouncing on his knuckles. Its insane.

well the joke after an insult just seems like a insult enhancer

IE: You stink,you fatass. like a stinky pile of stink.

not a very good IE, but kinda gets the point across


i also did check all the other vids out already and examined the vids again and it actually looks real. i just dont know whats wrong with the ball. i noticed a shadow in all the vids and reflection, and its pretty hard to do that stuff in programs :lol:

so i proved myself wrong. yes, i just got owned by myself. it hurts.

:lol:

It happens to the best of us.

who the hell wastes his time editing a video to show such a random "skilz"?

Occam's Razor.

Quite true Zombo, I believe the law of parsimony applies here. :)

we get it stefan, you go to college. :P


ZOMG! i got it! its "S-L" cuz "stefan-lordbojo" huh?

i knew it. some things you just dont learn in college.

You're a genius dude. I was thinking about that like 5 minutes before reading your post.

no.. S-L is the country of origina of the Mafia

Some how I got the feeling it's fake, using some sorta "string" method in video editing. I've seen this being done in some soccer videos too. Not 100% sure though. Maybe there's a mix who knows lol.

Edit: Ok, the more I look at it, the more fake it seems. The paper ball can't bounce on the hand like that... Don't wanna discredit his skills or anything, but I'll just redirect it to his editing skills.

2nd Edit: Ok, it's totally fake... as quoted from the site "Had a bit of free time last night, so I edited together some of my best moves. Hope you like it.". Now what were we thinking.

-__- DA dont we edit our pen spinnigin videos? ;)

No we actually don't :) ... What we do is we enchance it with words and music. Haha, I get what you mean but I'm taking his word for it with the pun intended.

his words of wisdom

I'm Just Gonna Say; Man The Things You Learn In College,....

i don't think it's fake... PS would probably look just as fake to him and others

Oh my god--- I thought PS was fake the first time I saw that infamous PDS collab. Then I started and wondered "hey, they could've done this for real, right?" And now, I can do alot of the tricks I thought were impossible.

Its all about believing. hahahaha

University. K? The two may not be very different in the US but they are in Canada. ;) You'd learn about Ockham's razor if you took any basic philosophy class. <_<

Does the guy have an e-mail address listed? Maybe you could e-mail him and ask if he edited the video. "Edit" as in make it look fake, not the "edit" he's talking about which is collating all his best tricks.

While you're at it, tell me if you think this is real or not:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZqf6nrFXDo ;)

I got a question how does he start the ball off in the last vid of the page? It looks like he just moves his finger and it sumhow jumps in the air.

you know, im starting to think about it somemore and im still kinda skeptical....my friend in animation said that you can put shadows in it and if you look at the ball, it gets pretty shaky at points.... plu s he doesnt explain anything about actually doing the tricks, just how to make the ball and the boots...

i made boots and ball and i think it is fake...
