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
Figuring out the tricks just usually makes me more impressed at what had to have been an absurd amount of practice to get to this point. Every motion has thought put into it and he knows he needs to mix things up to prevent people from catching on because he's doing it so close to the audience

Cool. That’s explains literally nothing
