The thing that fascinates people the most about tops (including myself) is how it seems to defy gravity. Here you compound that effect by balancing it on that blade (envelope opener?). Put the whole thing at the end of a pole and it is the type of trick Jochen could perform on his show.

I loved the vertical oscillation effect.

But . . . you let it drop on the floor at the end!  :P
