Absolutely amazing.....   I have to buy a pair of these.  These would be the perfect stocking stuffer for a child or an adult.

 

This video of them being demonstrated is also on the page linked above, but here's a direct link to a WMV of it:

There are also some other very cool toys and gadgets on this site.  You'll be glad you checked it out.

That would have made Inception worth watching.

I'm just wondering how the hell they managed to weld those together!

Very cool but $46.00 is a bit steep.

Agreed. Welding two ball bearing + a plastic straw + a cardboard box package = $46?!

Yes, certainly pricey.  But unless you have a welder with 800 amps of current, not sure how you would make your own.

Maybe a bit of J-B Weld instead?
