Who said Fidget Spinners were boring?

Fidget spinner tricks illustrate several physics concepts most notably gyroscopic action.

Ugh, I hate those videos where they make an obvious feat of skill look easy thanks to the magical feature of showing only the successful recordings. Like when they throw a ninja spinner, as if its nature somewhat makes it hit the target automatically.
Reminds me of those archery videos by that Lars Andersen guy.What I liked about the video, was how it showed quite well how much angular momentum can be stored in the toy (when they used compressed air to spin it up). It had no problem breaking a bottle, or dispersing a set of bowling pins.

Yeah that was my feeling too. P-hacking your video data to make it look easy. I liked the one where they bounced the spinner on top of a basketball and it maintained its orientation.

P-hacking

Speaking of which

Meh, I'll keep my fidget cube.

I did not know about fidget spinners until a kid showed me one recently.
Now I've ordered a transparent one with lights...

What can I say.
Olympic sport potential.
Go for Gold in Fidget Spinner.
