Flick it with a fingertip and the whole thing turns on bearings hidden in the base.

It is not levitating, and there are no magnets in this product at all. What you are buying is a well-made optical illusion: because the ball sits at the axis of rotation, it looks stationary and unsupported while the spiral sweeps around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0 0 22px;\"\u003eWe are putting that at the top of the page rather than the bottom, because it is the one thing people get wrong about this kind of desk toy and the one thing that leads to a disappointed unboxing. If you want genuine magnetic levitation, this is not that product and you should buy a different one. If you want the illusion, done in solid metal, it does the job well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/assets.gearelevation.com\/pdp-kinetic-desk-gyroscope\/04_ball_is_fixed_to_the_arm.png\" alt=\"The ball is fixed to the spiral arm: no magnets, no battery, and it needs a flat level surface\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:520px;height:auto;margin:0 auto;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 40px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1.2;margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eA level surface is the difference between mesmerising and wobbly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0 0 22px;\"\u003eThe illusion depends on the ball staying put in your eye-line while everything else moves. If the base is sitting on a tilt, a seam, a desk mat edge or a crumb, the spin goes eccentric and the ball visibly orbits — which breaks the effect completely. Put it on a flat, level, hard surface, make sure the silicone pad underneath is clean and seated, and start it with a light flick rather than a hard one. Viewed from roughly eye level it looks its best; from directly above you can see how it is put together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 40px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1.2;margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eIt comes apart, and the pad on the bottom matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0 0 22px;\"\u003eThree pieces: the spiral arm with its ball, the weighted cylindrical base holding the bearings, and a thin silicone pad that sits under the base. The pad is what stops the whole thing walking across a smooth desk while it spins, and it lifts off so you can wipe it or the desk underneath. The arm lifts off the base too, so dust does not build up where the bearings are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/assets.gearelevation.com\/pdp-kinetic-desk-gyroscope\/03_base_spiral_and_pad_apart.jpg\" alt=\"The gyroscope separated into its spiral arm with ball, its cylindrical base, and the round silicone base pad\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:520px;height:auto;margin:0 auto;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 40px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1.2;margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eIt is smaller and heavier than the photographs suggest\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0 0 22px;\"\u003eThis is the other thing worth knowing up front. It stands about the height of a shot glass and weighs about as much as a deck and a half of cards — dense, cold and solid in the hand, but genuinely small. Product photography on a bare white background gives no sense of scale, so people routinely picture something two or three times the size.
