remember the performance from beat freaks on america's best dance crew when they had to use a magic ball? i believe that's episode 5 of season 3. what's the secret behind the magic ball? how does it float so high and all around without them touching it?|||It appears they used a Zombie ball or a Kinetic Sphere. These are equipment used by magicians when doing a trick that makes a ball appear to move wildly about in ways that a string cannot achieve. Inside the ball/sphere is a gadget called a "gimmick" that is hidden from the audience. Various types of "gimmicks" exists and can be used in different brands of balls. Gimmicks are programmable, and can be remotely controlled. They are also used in the "dancing handkerchief"-type tricks.
I cannot explain exactly how the trick actually works, but you can read about Zombie balls, Kinetic Spheres and gimmicks by searching Google (the "Dream Gimmick" is one brand).|||String + pulley system. Operated by a stagehand.
Proof:
4:50 into episode during the interview you can see the stagehand operating the magic ball in the mirror. The part where the girl spins and the ball falls on her head.|||It's magic girl.. But I have to admit, that look bad ***. My vote is on them.. Those old ladies can really dance their butts off.
