Probably CGI, but it's so cool.

I believe this is real, has something to do with magnets/magnetic field or whatever.
A toy, I think.

It's real, it's just physics.

That toy was on Mythbusters. It's being held up by magnets and centrifugal force.

[Warguy357]

Magnetical and centrifugal forces.

Magnetical and centrifugal forces.

But what are magnetic forces? You can't describe magnetic forces with magnetic forces, genius.

I actually have a toy almost exactly like that, but the base was a box and you had some other magnets to balance the magnetic field. It was really cool though, we had the thing floating for awhile once.

What the hell? Did you watch the entire video? How could you say it was CGI when they spent the entire loving video telling you how and why it works.
