Even knowing how this is done, it's still rather impressive to maintain the illusion. Also balancing a ball on his head is not easy

I thought that but it looked like he passed his hands everywhere plus moving the height and such one could be great sleight of hand but the other

He just knows where they are and moves his hands around them

Yes but then there is the eyes and moving the height and such easily

Eyes = contacts, likely hidden in his eyelids and lots of practice. He keeps pressing his eyes to hide them. I know it sounds crazy, but it’s like wiggling the ears- practice makes it look easy.

The height of the ball moves very statically, which further supports the string statement as it’s going to have a specific length.

Ok but the contact thing has got to hurt

For a while, absolutely. After a while, I genuinely assume he’d build some kind of callus up on his eyelids and his eyeballs would just grow accustom to it.

True but seriously
