Anent of nothing at all, really, but are you all aware of this phenomenon?

Same video was posted in Spab a couple days ago. And yes I did first read about it here several years ago. It's very cool. It's funny this has come up again now because I was just telling someone about it last week, but I couldn't remember the name of the prince.

A couple of years ago we did this as part of opening night demo at Pilchuck. Pretty amazing when it works, but it takes a steady hand, and just the right drop.
