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.
Something to know, there's some really neat sticky tack that magicians use to quickly attach/detach the string from what they're manipulating. You can't see it because they use sleight of hand to keep the tack hidden and they only use a tiny amount. That's how he's able to take the gold ball in and out of "suspension" so easily. Also these objects are often a lot lighter than you'd expect.
"Magicians Wax" - not expensive seeing as you use tiny amounts, but you can get extremely cheaply using silicone wax ball "disposable" earplugs. One pack for £2.50 from the chemist and enough to last years and years.

Cool. That’s explains literally nothing
