Devil's Scale A Beguiling Balance Toy from Copernicus
Part of the Compact Curiosities line, this beautiful creative packaging makes this the perfect gift for a science enthusiast.
The Devils Scale allows for its center of gravity to be manipulated by the addition of weight to the hooked end. Once you know the secret, you can easily balance it on the tip of your finger... or on the end of a pencil... or even on the tip of your nose!
People have marveled at how acrobats walk across a rope stretched across the Niagara falls, or cycle, juggle and perform acrobatics on a rope stretched across the roof of a circus tent. All these amazing feats are made possible by a simple manipulation of the center of gravity of the balanced object.
Packed in a Poly- Bag Includes: One Devil's Scale and One Information Card to explain just how the devil it works! Measures 3.75 inches in length. Constructed of brightly colored, durable, hard plastic. Ages 8 years and above.
