The stick is being anchored by a single string, strung between the 2 balls in either corner. The stick is laying across the top of the string that is holding the stick in place. The string itself is only about halfway up the stick. The string lays loose, and then he places his hand on the ground and lifts the string up with his fingers tips, as he leans forward, at some point when he needs to put the stick against the string. So it would simply look as if he's bracing himself when he leans forward, but the fingers tips of his stabilizing hand will have wiggled under the string laying loose on the ground in front of him.
but they effectively did tell us how it was done, with string, the specifics are pretty complicated I'm sure. you might think everyone knows its string right away but they dont!
It kind of bugs me when people try to downplay the skill. Obviously he doesn’t have magic powers. Its a trick, and its well done. Can we leave it at that?
I mean, he got everything right. He just didn't know the specifics about how the invisible thread was used on the sticks (two threads tied to the carpet, forming a pyramid where two edges are invisible threads). The threads have knots where the hovering stick rests

"Yeah, I know how this is done"
"Tell us"
"I don't know the exact specifics..."
