This is a video of Round Table, a kinetic sculpture created by South Korean artist U-ram Choe, where 18-headless straw figures appear to squat and stand to balance a single rubber band “head” on the table atop their backs, and prevent it from rolling off. Wow. Wow wow wow. This
This is a video of a woman filming and laughing at two friends as they lose their balance on paddle boards and fall into the water. Admittedly, I do like that guy’s wobble dance. Also I’m not convinced the woman laughing didn’t cause these people to fall. Although why the

This is a video of an elf (the shoes are a dead giveaway) balancing on an extra-tall unicycle while spinning two balls on his face and head and juggling three batons. Impressive. You know, I think I witnessed the same feat at the circus when I was a kid. Also:
