Little gold ball uses hard to see string attached to other body parts (best guess is forehead?) to "levitate", hands push the string to move it in any direction. The "spinning around the ball to show it's not attached" is fake, the rotation isn't complete, there are gaps.
Clear orb is simpler, he's just holding it, it just looks like he isn't because of the distortion.
Contact lenses were under the eyelids, placed beforehand.
The sticks I'm not sure - first stick maybe weighted heavily at the bottom, e.g. empty out the bottom and fill it with some concrete? Second stick I don't know.
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

It's a kit. This has been posted a couple times and others have said it's a kit you can buy and a technique you have to learn. I've read it's not easy
