TikTok videos are currently one of the main sources of entertainment. The new social media app went very popular ever since the global COVID-19 pandemic started.
With TikTok, people can watch and participate at the same time. They can create funny content and educational videos within the premises of their own homes.
Some are editing cool videos, others are doing dances that are currently popular. You can do anything in TikTok as long as your content complies with the app's policies.
A TikTok user under the name patrickhanson17 decided to make videos about his own Rube Goldberg Machine. One of his most popular content is his ping-pong trick. Check out his video and your jaw will surely drop.
This cool ping-pong trick will amaze you
Patrick Hanson's popular video uses a ping-pong ball, some plates, a metal ruler, helium, balloons, woodblocks, and more. The viral trick currently has around 25,000 likes, and 213 comments.
At the start of the video, you can see that the ping-pong ball perfectly rolls on a wooden stick and then bounces off several times on four perfectly aligned plates. It then rolls again into a very long metal ruler.
After it reaches the end of the metal ruler, it will knock off the standing dominoes and will proceed into the small basket, which will be carried by helium balloons. It will then drop off into what seems a plastic hoop and will roll once again in a very long plastic bridge until it reaches its red-cup destination.
This new trick has around 10 to 15 steps. Watching it will surely satisfy you.
Many users were really amazed by the spectacular trick. One of them even said that the video is really "sick."
