His Eyes

He makes a couple of motions when he's doing the contact lens thing to loop the monofilament behind his neck.

Edit: especially when he does some sort of motion around the orb on his head. I think his bulky necklace is intended to cover the line

If you look closely you can see where the nylon is digging into his skin a little at the back of his neck

I think its attached to his necklace which is probably weighted

The line is tacked into place behind his ear then runs up and over and hangs off of his bald head.

He bows his head to make it drop

Then transfers the line to his hand or uses his hand to pull the line away from his head to make it appear it hasn't been hanging from it

Every part of his get up is part of the trick.

One of the lines on the stick is attached to an anklet and he's sitting yoga-like cross legged to keep the line stable

The heavy chunky necklace with very tight links he can friction fit the end of the line into (probably already there at the start with the free end of the line hanging loose, ready to be tacked to the ball)

The ball is an electroplated ping pong ball to make it appear like a heavy ball bearing. It's too light to create a visible indentation on his scalp but in order to really hide it, he needs to fully shave his head

Thanks for this depth. I've seen similar before and could never quite understand it beyond "theres super thin fishing line".

This guy was great to watch tho, the flair was cool especially the eye trick.
