illusion here’s the game right you’re

illusion here’s the game right you’re gonna throw the ball straight through

gonna throw the ball straight through

gonna throw the ball straight through what’s your name Victor right but this

what’s your name Victor right but this

what’s your name Victor right but this time I’m gonna complicate things

time I’m gonna complicate things

time I’m gonna complicate things slightly I’m gonna rotate to the

slightly I’m gonna rotate to the

slightly I’m gonna rotate to the merry-go-round counterclockwise so you

merry-go-round counterclockwise so you

merry-go-round counterclockwise so you throw it whilst it’s moving what’s gonna

throw it whilst it’s moving what’s gonna

throw it whilst it’s moving what’s gonna happen I don’t know why but I feel like

happen I don’t know why but I feel like

happen I don’t know why but I feel like if we’re going fast enough yeah like I

if we’re going fast enough yeah like I

if we’re going fast enough yeah like I might actually be the one catching the

might actually be the one catching the

might actually be the one catching the ball okay so you’re gonna throw it and

ball okay so you’re gonna throw it and

ball okay so you’re gonna throw it and you’re gonna catch it all right right

you’re gonna catch it all right right

you’re gonna catch it all right right what’s gonna happen do I was gonna veer

what’s gonna happen do I was gonna veer

what’s gonna happen do I was gonna veer off to the left so the ball is gonna

off to the left so the ball is gonna

off to the left so the ball is gonna swerve off to the left yep and you might

swerve off to the left yep and you might

swerve off to the left yep and you might catch it possible you okay good right so

catch it possible you okay good right so

catch it possible you okay good right so what’s gonna happen I think it’s just

what’s gonna happen I think it’s just

what’s gonna happen I think it’s just gonna come straight to me and I’m gonna

gonna come straight to me and I’m gonna

gonna come straight to me and I’m gonna catch it like champion that I am

catch it like champion that I am

catch it like champion that I am show me the catch okay go here but okay

show me the catch okay go here but okay

show me the catch okay go here but okay so everyone know I got one more it’s

so everyone know I got one more it’s

so everyone know I got one more it’s been surfing that arrogant just quietly

been surfing that arrogant just quietly

been surfing that arrogant just quietly pocketing it I’m really adding it now so

pocketing it I’m really adding it now so

pocketing it I’m really adding it now so what’s gonna have to the ball I’m gettin

what’s gonna have to the ball I’m gettin

what’s gonna have to the ball I’m gettin it great so we’ve got one saying I go

it great so we’ve got one saying I go

it great so we’ve got one saying I go off to you one saying comes to you

off to you one saying comes to you

off to you one saying comes to you Spencer and you think it goes straight

Spencer and you think it goes straight

Spencer and you think it goes straight ahead but you think you’ll be the one

ahead but you think you’ll be the one

ahead but you think you’ll be the one catching it yeah now remember the ball

catching it yeah now remember the ball

catching it yeah now remember the ball will be thrown straight across the

will be thrown straight across the

will be thrown straight across the spinning merry-go-round but where will

spinning merry-go-round but where will

spinning merry-go-round but where will it end up will it be caught by the

it end up will it be caught by the

it end up will it be caught by the thrower will it be caught by the person

thrower will it be caught by the person

thrower will it be caught by the person opposite will it be caught by the person

opposite will it be caught by the person

opposite will it be caught by the person to the throwers left or by the person to

to the throwers left or by the person to

to the throwers left or by the person to the throwers right right you’re outside

the throwers right right you’re outside

the throwers right right you’re outside throw the ball

so the answer was D it was caught by the

so the answer was D it was caught by the person on the throwers right our camera

person on the throwers right our camera

person on the throwers right our camera angles seem to show the ball bend in the

angles seem to show the ball bend in the

angles seem to show the ball bend in the air so is that a camera effect or are we

air so is that a camera effect or are we

air so is that a camera effect or are we seeing what they saw hang on this good

seeing what they saw hang on this good

seeing what they saw hang on this good this couldn’t get much more simple the

this couldn’t get much more simple the

this couldn’t get much more simple the idea was just to throw the ball straight

idea was just to throw the ball straight

idea was just to throw the ball straight to Victor to show us his amazing

to Victor to show us his amazing

to Victor to show us his amazing catching skills right yeah I did it just

catching skills right yeah I did it just

catching skills right yeah I did it just curved just curved right all right so

curved just curved right all right so

curved just curved right all right so let me get this straight so you through

let me get this straight so you through

let me get this straight so you through somehow you threw the ball it left your

somehow you threw the ball it left your

somehow you threw the ball it left your hands and then what and then it just got

hands and then what and then it just got

hands and then what and then it just got sucked over to him in the air yeah

sucked over to him in the air yeah

sucked over to him in the air yeah perfect what are you sir yeah curved

perfect what are you sir yeah curved

perfect what are you sir yeah curved right in right so we all agreeing here

right in right so we all agreeing here

right in right so we all agreeing here the ball curve in midair yes and you

the ball curve in midair yes and you

the ball curve in midair yes and you didn’t put you didn’t cheat this tool no

didn’t put you didn’t cheat this tool no

didn’t put you didn’t cheat this tool no I didn’t okay and you know why it did

I didn’t okay and you know why it did

I didn’t okay and you know why it did that

that

that no no idea it’s called the Coriolis

no no idea it’s called the Coriolis

no no idea it’s called the Coriolis effect and it’s very simple it’s objects

effect and it’s very simple it’s objects

effect and it’s very simple it’s objects in motion appearing to beat an optical

the ball straight it still going

the ball straight it still going straight but the table is moving below

straight but the table is moving below

straight but the table is moving below you and all of a sudden look who’s in

you and all of a sudden look who’s in

you and all of a sudden look who’s in front of that straight moving ball and

front of that straight moving ball and

front of that straight moving ball and it looks like it’s bent off to the right

it looks like it’s bent off to the right

it looks like it’s bent off to the right because you’re still looking to the guy
