Trick Ball

 

The Trick Ball is a tennis-ball sized rubber ball that can do tricks depending on the way the user throws it. The reason it is able to do this is that it contains a small steel ball in a spherical cavity inside the Trick Ball and surrounded by a lubricant. This feature allows the steel ball to spin inside the trick ball in any direction compared to the direction of the trick ball itself and by allowing this to happen, the trick ball can bounce in many different ways and directions depending on how the user spins the ball while throwing it.
