Hello Raymond
thanks a lot for sharing your works on paper clip tops
it is very inspiring
i'm fond of low-tech , recycling or distracting objects from their original use
in the 2nd vid with the super small top you say there's some static electricity in the air : i was wondering if it could be your body which generates it
have you tried your tops in a magnetic field ?
besides that i have immediately bent a few paper clips , with a V shaped tip and low rider silhouette : the surface on which you spin is super important
these go über smooth on marble or glass, rather clumsy on wood or plastic
your VDO's are cool but you could show your face as well
